9 Simulation Checklist - Peer Evaluations / Homework and 9.9 Final Presentations

9.8 Peer Evaluations and Homework

Review the Peer Evaluation and Homework sections (from the instructor's Homework menu). Peer Evaluation and Homework are great ways to keep every participant involved in the simulation (see 3.9.2 Peer Evaluations).

The Peer Evaluation system allows participants to privately evaluate peer performance. When participants understand evaluations will be conducted, team performance can improve because:

• It is more difficult for weak students to be carried by strong students.
• It is more difficult for strong students to impose their point of view upon teammates.

The Homework system offers several stock Capsim® questions, and also allows you to create questions of your own (see Section 3.9.1 Assignments).

9.9 Final Presentations

Participants can be instructed to prepare slides and text that summarize their company's performance during the simulation. They can also be asked to evaluate their strategy's success, describe their group processes and explain how they arrived at decisions.

Participants can also be asked to outline their plans for the next five years.
