GBHorrible product of proprietary bs that… Horrible product of proprietary bs that makes college students even broker. Textbook will randomly lock you out, mobile websites consistently stop working for days at a time. You can't even copy and paste text into notes, or to summarize a chapter. I SPENT $80 ON THIS TEXTBOOK LET ME HAVE A PDF VERSION. For the pursuit of antipiracy they're robbing from poor students that are forced to get a horrible textbook option from courses that require it.

GBTeacher - Personal Finance and Accounting Great experience with Skudent Mimic Social High School. Used as part of my Intro to Business and Marketing class. Kids really enjoyed it. I am now teaching Personal Finance and Accounting so I will review the Personal Finance module next year. Thx Nick

GBHalf way thru the course Half way thru the course, there was an issue with tech and a new book was uploaded that thru off all the chapters, quizzes etc. making it difficult for the students to follow, take tests in timely manner etc. It was completely confusing. The client services team was responsive, but said it was a development update and there was nothing that could be done. In the future, I would have the dev team be in concert with teams to know that a textbook was in current use prior to doing any updates that could affect the text book etc.

GBOverall great curriculum and product Overall great curriculum and product. I selected this because of the nice video cases, easy to use materials, support -- a turnkey offering that I can add my take on. Mostly, the simulation is key. I am still looking for a little more support on the simulation. I'd like more specifics on how it works and results. I would also suggest some debrief videos. 5 stars then. 4 for now. Also, please add a template for a marketing plan.

GBThe Mimic Social Simulation updates are… The Mimic Social Simulation updates are amazing! I appreciate how rounds are broken into categories, budgets are changed accordingly, and students get a real-world view of being a social media marketing manager. I am disappointed with the instructor provided content. The PowerPoint slides are filled with typos and grammar errors and there is no consistency in formatting. If I want to use parts of these slides, I have to completely rebuild each chapter. The test banks contain all questions already provided in the quizzes, have no application questions, and do not use Blooms taxonomy to scale for higher level thinking. Stukent is on the right track with their materials and they can easily be updated to be more useful for faculty.
