    I assumed he would have given a basic outline of the exam. Advice: Do-Not-Leave-Any-Answer-Blank. It doesn't matter how silly/wrong you believe the answer to be, because that class has a reputation for being a tragedy when it comes to grades. The bell curve is your friend, give him something to work with.

    This gives a simple explanation of Game Theory, from an economics perspective. It's 'cool' if you like maths.

    Excatly what Économiste Monétaire said....

    Answer every single part to every question, even if you know its wrong,...

    The grades are allocated along a distribution curve, the average grade in the module will usually be a C.

    1) Nash Equilibrium
    2) Bargaining
    3) Extensive Form Games
    3) Stackleberg

    So i've heard, doesn't seem too bad an exam, Stackleberg, nash and extensive form (backward induction is all there is really) are all fairly handy... bargaining is a bit broader.
