evaluate the participant knowledge in specific topics such as marketing or Blue Ocean Strategy;



make sure that they have read and understood the pre-reading materials;



conduct peer-to-peer assessments.

This questionnaire platform is built into the StratX Simulations website and is very easy to use, both for instructors and students. It proposes pre-defined templates, but also offers to professors the ability to create custom questionnaires. Participants have the option to start, stop and resume questionnaires at any time. Analyzing the results of each questionnaire is made simple with multiple reports to view and export to Excel.
