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

GBI really prefer this program over the… I really prefer this program over the other budgeting activities I have done. It is the most real-world program I have used and it throws in the unexpected, which parallels real-life. The students enjoy it. Further, I am not a tech-savvy teacher. Their support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly.

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.

GBStukent Rocks! Skukent's online materials are good and up to date. The simulations give students real-world results and help them understand the amount of work that goes into planning a social media campaign. Their customer service is beyond great. I wish they had more classes available.

GBAwesome experience My students loved feeling like they were in the real world! They liked earning money without working and they appreciated all the ways they could earn more money (and lose money through fines and life happens).
