I don't teach undergrads.

I think it could be really scary for an undergrad to.

I don't know that they have the they have yet to develop the skills to negotiate some of that.

But the other thing I tell them all the time is just like in in anything you'll need.

you'll need to make sure that the person, if you've got 350 points to share among five people and you're gonna give four of them enough to get an A or a high B, you're gonna have to really think that through.

And it's gonna require some communication skills on top of everything else.

Put your best deck builder on the deck.
