Quantum mechanics may be formulated as Sensible Quantum Mechanics (SQM) so that it contains nothing probabilistic, except, in a certain frequency sense, conscious perceptions. Sets of these perceptions can be deterministi-cally realized with measures given by expectation values of positive-operator-valued awareness operators in a quantum state of the universe which never jumps or collapses. Rat...

While experiential projects have been documented as powerful pedagogical tools for linking theory to practice, it is unknown whether students prefer the experience to be real or hypothetical. This paper explores the impact of a real client-based project versus a simulated client project on students’ perceptions and ratings of the marketing project. Student perceptions of learning are also inves...
