One professor distributes a new scenario every two weeks and then grades the students on how they adjust their portfolio. Past scenarios have included dropping interest rates, high inflation, war breaking out in the Persian Gulf, or large gains in the leading indicators. Using one of the two free accounts each professor receives, the dart board account can be tracked throughout the trading period. The important thing to remember, however, is that the emphasis should be on education and not portfolio return. You want the students to care about what they are doing, but don't make them so concerned about the return on their portfolios that they miss out on the educational experience.
