SUNY Canton professor earns his students $2,000 worth of business simulation software licenses

Posted

CANTON -- SUNY Canton Business Professor Dr. Charles Fenner recently took second place in the CapsimCore Professor Challenge, which earned his students $2,000 worth of business simulation software licenses.

The challenge was to field test CapsimCore, a new simulation software used to teach finance skills to students in introductory business courses.

Fenner competed against more than 240 business professors from institutions across the country.

Over the course of two months, Fenner and the other professors were "CEOs" of manufacturing companies, making decisions about product lines, marketing tactics and production. Fenner placed second by earning a total of 907 points out of a possible 1,000.

"The simulation will be offered free to students enrolled in my Introduction to Business course during the 2016-2017 online Winterterm session," Fenner said.

He added that another purpose of the field test was to demonstrate his willingness to complete any assignment he requires of his students.
