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

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.

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.

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.

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.
