Capsim defines its success by the success of its clients. Professors have been asking for alternative types of scoring—including tougher grading scales—in CapsimCore.
You spoke, and we listened.
Previously in CapsimCore, as long as students earned higher financial metrics from the previous round, and avoided an emergency loan, they would earn gold stars.
CapsimCore was originally created in 2016 for entry-level business courses. Stars made sense—we want to encourage sustainable improvements.
But not every student, and not every course, is the same. And we respect that. Over time, our tool has evolved to teach a wide variety of courses at different levels, including MBA programs.
A need arose to create a more encompassing grading metric. We want students to walk away with an in-depth understanding, and a grading system that reflects that. We want our tools to be flexible and adaptable. So we added an additional way to score.
We’re excited to share our latest CapsimCore enhancement that adds the option for instructors to utilize success measures to evaluate student performance.
