There were no tests. Comments?
I was pretty much indifferent to this. I thought that it was convenient however I would have been prepared anyway. Yeager's book is very easy to read and even easier to understand.  
   
I like this format a lot better than some of my more regimented classes. Nice change of pace and I think I learned more material this way. Learning is the key. Good to hear that you feel like you learned more.
I liked it, I felt like the paper and the presentations were the most beneficial for me to learning economics.  
I liked having no tests and not having to memorize. I still actually learned a lot of useful facts that I will be able to use in my everyday life. Again, GREAT to hear.
I am a little split on this. Honestly, after I found out that we were not going to have tests, I slacked off a little bit in terms of the reading. I used to print out notes from every chapter and take the online quizzes for each chapter, but I lost a little bit of incentive to do so. The good side- I really enjoyed the Manikew game we played in part as a substitution for the tests, and I think because we did not have the tests I put more effort into my paper than I otherwise would have. Putting the effort into the paper was key, and I am glad you put more effort into it than if you had had tests.
Its a great idea

I thought that having no tests was okay, as long as there are other gradable assignments. OK, good point, no tests, but some graded assignments.
Tests are not fun. But I feel like we needed more stuff to be evaluated on. Same as above
I would have crammed for each test and lost the information after each one. For what? My point exactly.
