"Truly unique! My students loved it. I loved the flexibility. I integrated content from India's colonial period. More than engaged, I could hardly hold my students back. They applied content and had fun. I'll pass this on to other teachers."

"The strength of the approach is its attractiveness to students ...to get the students to think about fundamental economic concepts. Nicely done!"

"Our experience was preponderantly positive and [SimCEO] was much more realistic, challenging, and engaging than the paper/pen stock trade simulation we played prior to it."

"[the students are] psyched about this. I even have had enquiries from students who aren't in either of my high-school classes ask to play. There was enough "buzz" from last May that students remember and are interested!"

What makes simCEO unique?
Flexibility: From mission statements, to available natural resources, to PEG ratios, the instructor can customize the degree of complexity that will be covered during the simulation. simCEO also is flexible enough to provide easy connections to disciplines outside of economics.
Relevance: simCEO puts students in a situation where they have to create, write, and reason for an authentic purpose - to demonstrate quality in an attempt to persuade others. Student work has more meaning than simply being graded by an instructor. Accordingly, the quality of student work is greatly increased compared to traditional assignments.
