“I love how it mimics the real world, it gives me an opportunity to have the students practice what they’re learning, and it gives the flexibility to set it up for class purposes the way it’s going to work best. It has been a valuable addition to this class.”
“We’re using AgYield as an opportunity for the students who have learned different risk management techniques to really test those out and to see what the implications are.”
“It is a really powerful tool that helps illustrate the abstract concept of hedging. What I want my students to get is the fact that real life is full of risk and it’s important to know how to manage it—this tool really accomplishes that goal.”
