Many simulations include a competitive element; individuals or teams of students are all competing in the simulated marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comprehensive simulations, even computer-based ones, often require a lot of planning of physical resources (such as meeting spaces, whiteboards, displays, etc.) Careful consideration must also be made towards honesty\/collusion within the simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing a simulation<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sauder-accordion-content wp-block-paragraph\">Many simulations use technology as part of delivery, though this is not always necessary; negotiation exercises for example often involve no technology at all beyond a piece of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A variety of simulations across disciplines are available through Harvard Business Publishing, as well as a variety of other vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in using simulations in your class, please contact Sauder Learning Services Learning Designer at <a href=\"mailto:help@sauder.ubc.ca\">help@sauder.ubc.ca<\/a> for a consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Effective Assessing simulations<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sauder-accordion-content wp-block-paragraph\">It is important for instructors to know how to facilitate simulations so that students do not simply aim for the highest score, but reflect on the decision making process and the consequences. Debriefing (either with individuals and\/or teams, and the entire class) is crucial to the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many simulations involve students or teams of students competing against each other. In these cases it is important to balance grading so that students take the competition seriously, but not so seriously that they focus exclusively on the final score\/rank.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section index=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-ubc-tab ubc-accordion-tabs__tabs-panel js-tabs-panel\" id=\"section-0d848f2d-290c-48a6-83bf-77c3bba934ee\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-0d848f2d-290c-48a6-83bf-77c3bba934ee\"><div class=\"ubc-accordion-tabs__accordion-trigger js-accordion-trigger\" aria-controls=\"section-0d848f2d-290c-48a6-83bf-77c3bba934ee\" tabindex=\"0\">Teaching with Case Studies<div class=\"ubc-accordion-tabs__accordion-trigger-icon\"><span class=\"label--open\">Open<\/span><span class=\"label--close\">Close<\/span><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><rect class=\"vert\" height=\"18\" width=\"2\" fill=\"currentColor\" y=\"1\" x=\"9\"><\/rect><rect height=\"2\" width=\"18\" fill=\"currentColor\" y=\"9\" x=\"1\"><\/rect><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Case-based teaching is the use of real world situations to introduce students to a variety of perspectives.
