Midpoint Check-In
At this point students will be about 2/3 of the way through their stock game. The “Check-In” project is a short exercise for teams to evaluate how the group has performed so far, both relating to their original objective statements and how each team member has been fulfilling their roles.
The primary objective of this project is for students to look critically at how their investing strategy has worked (or failed) so far and offer an opportunity to update their objective statement or team roles for the last leg of the class.
Students are asked:
- Identify their team’s current ranking in the class.
- Identify how well they have stuck to their original investing strategy and team roles.
- Identify real-world events that have had both a positive and negative impact on their team portfolio.
- Based on their performance so far, do they feel they need to update their objective statements or team roles?
