Assessor's comments

This is a terrific resource – the simulation of the stock market and the presentation of information, using the newspapers and television news clips, makes this a very convincing and exciting role-play, promoting quick thinking, decision making skills and enterprise.
It also provides an excellent opportunity to develop many enterprising skills whilst gaining an understanding of the financial world of the Stock Market. These skills include negotiation, information analysis, risk management and communication. The use of technology in the global economy is clearly demonstrated by this resource.
