Should you worry when you are assigning a participant to a role and he loudly proclaims, “Yes!” – snapping up the binder and quickly flipping through the background docs?
Normally, you’d think that kind of enthusiasm would be good, the kind of participation you’d want to encourage in a course. You do have to worry a bit, though, when the role is Minister of Defense in a country recovering from civil war.
