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.

GBNot a resource. A joke It is supposed to serve as a tool of education for us college students but it's actually a joke. It doesn't work half of the time and you spend more time actually trying to figure out how to fix the technical problems instead of doing any assignments or reading. A poor and subpar facade of what should be an actual tool to help students.

GBSupport team and sims Customer support team is fantastic! Always helpful!! Grading of the simulations seems a little off. Not sure how accurate the grades are on Mimic Social and the new Sports sim? Is it grading the responses from the emails; like in the Advertising sim? Overall, love your products! So valuable for my students and reinforces my content learned in class. Would love to see an Advertising book for high school level students.

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.

GBMy students continually have problems… My students continually have problems logging in - the platform keeps them looping and looping and kicks them out. My other issue is with the guided notes. There are numerous inconsistencies between the instructor's version and the student's version - different questions, not in the same order, etc. Someone needs to go through each of those to verify they have the same content. I would also like the most up-to-date information. Social media has definitely changed since in the past five years, and some of the statistics are out of date. I am currently in the process of searching for a new platform to teach the class.
