Evaluate students' ability to analyze and compare two elementary sorting strategies—swapping adjacent items (swap-based passes) and selecting the smallest remaining item (select-min)—on small lists (3–6 items). Students will trace each algorithm step-by-step for given inputs (sorted, reverse, and random), count comparisons and swaps/moves, determine which method uses fewer total steps, and provide a short written justification and rule of thumb for when each method is more efficient.
