Abstract
The author shows the benefits of using the random lottery mechanism as a pedagogical tool. The mechanism’s primary advantage is to provide students an incentive to work additional problems without increasing the amount of homework the teacher must grade. In addition, this mechanism encourages in-class participation and can generate discussion of mechanism design.
