Instructor Feedback
Student ratings in this course were the highest I have ever gotten.
GoVenture is extremely popular with students.
Video games in Academia can change lives!
My class LOVES GoVenture CEO. It's all they talk about!
Holy **** this thing is amazing. Wow. I'm sure you guys hear this all the time.
Students learned how to build financial statements and what leads to growth.
I LOVE this Digital Marketing module! I teach it and have struggled with just the issues you identify.
The business simulations have brought an awesome new perspective and element to my class.
While there are other games that deal with entrepreneurship, GoVenture is very rich and deep.
I appreciate how the simulation is scaffolded so students can learn in a simple simulation and then increase the complexity by adding more functions
This is an amazing resource. My students were engaged and learning.
GoVenture is an integral part of our curriculum.

Feedback
I felt powerful and very productive after these assignments. This exercise helped me stretch my thinking and decision-making.
I did not feel as much stress and gained more confidence in what I was doing. Being able to fail and learn from failures without having my ego judged was a huge confidence booster.
It is an amazing tool for business learning purposes, developing different skills to get bolder and think differently through the game and in real life.
I love that you can make different decisions and see what the outcome may be.
I feel that it is the perfect opportunity to take chances, test a theory, or just live on the edge, with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
It was a fun experience and I would like to do it again in another class.

I discovered that I have no business running a business, haha. It requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and research.
The GoVenture Simulation was a very unique experience, unlike anything I've done for school so far!
This was a really interesting, eye-opening experience and I'm very curious to see how the knowledge I've gained can be applied to my future career goals.
Gave me more appreciation for a lot of business owners who are working to keep themselves afloat right now.
My class that includes GoVenture is the one that I am most excited to attend.
I'm excited to see my progress in the simulation, and I'm not that engaged in any of my other classes.
I learned how to think as a CEO.
It wasn't like learning from a textbook. We actually got to implement what we were learning. So that was really cool.
At first I didn't know anybody in my group and we didn't talk much to each other until the actual simulation had begun. As we progressed, we opened up to each other and had fun strategizing.
I would totally go through and play it again and I'm not even in the class anymore.
