I forced my 4 sections of disinterested non-majors to duke it out in an academic competition for prizes. They were split into "team sea slug" and "team sea star", borrowing my friends here for moral support. No responses were registered as valid unless the responder had physical possession of said mascot.
The success of this idea varied by class, and because I'm a wimp... everybody got a prize in the end.

Eh hem. Excuse me. Got carried away there....
Interesting idea. Wonder if it would work with some of the disinterested majors I get on occasion.
that is so kickass. i hope the little critters didn't suffer any undue abuse at the hands of *gasp* non-majors! I should knit some permian extinction fauna...
I'm going to make a crinoid sometime soon... still in the thinking stages.
