Agric. Price Analysis and Price Mgmt., ABAS 4130 (EXL), Gardner

	Description:	Students will use two simulations to help them learn about managing the price and production 
	risk associated with growing an agricultural commodity.  The first is TradeSim, an online 
	simulation program produced by the University of Illinois that uses real‑time commodity prices.  
	Students will use TradeSim to become familiar and comfortable with commodity markets, grade 
	incentives are designed to encourage students to actively monitor and trade commodities.  The 
	second simulation, produced locally, will replicate a farmer attempting to simultaneously market 
	a stored crop and a crop that is in production.  Students must develop a commodity marketing 
	plan and implement it, thus replicating a farmer's real‑world situation.  Students will be asked to 
	complete this program twice, a pre‑test at the beginning of the semester, and a post‑test at the 
	end of the semester.  After completing these simulations students will be asked to write short 
	reflective essays.

Bike Rodeo and Wellness Fair MGMT 3890 001 (EXL), Wilson

	Description:	Students worked as a class to successfully complete a public service project.  This involved each 
	student working with 3 other students to create a sense of synergy and competitive spirit.  The 
	class planned an event:  setting goals, deadlines, and budget and created promotional pieces 
	and channels to spread awareness, etc.  The students were encouraged to work together as a 
	cross‑functional team, designing communication channels that allowed them to move towards 
	the successful completion of an event.  Team leaders were appointed and empowered to solve 
	problems.

	The students applied managerial decision making concepts to the creation of their class project.  
	In addition to reading about the mistakes of other organizations and deciding what should have 
	been done to avoid those mistakes (easier to determine when in hindsight), students learned 
	from their own mistakes.  "Good judgment comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad 
	judgment."

	This class focused their efforts on a bike rodeo and wellness fair to benefit the children and their 
	families who reside in low‑income housing in the Franklin Heights residential area through the 
	Murfreesboro Housing Authority.  The Murfreesboro Housing Authority is a nonprofit corporation 
	that began in 1950 to provide housing for low‑income families.

MTSU Next Step, Seul

	Description:	The transition into college can be a challenging one for all students. For students coming from a 
	foster care situation or for those who have been living as independent minors or in homeless 
	situations, it can be especially difficult simply because it is hard to know where to begin the 
	journey or know who to turn to or trust. That is why Middle Tennessee State University, in 
	conjunction with the Department of Children's Services, and the Tennessee Youth Advisory 
	Council, created Next Step. Next Step provides additional support for our students coming from 
	these difficult situations.

	The keystone of Next Step is our group of student mentors. They are Next Step participants just 
	like you who came from situations just like yours. Participants come back semester after 
	semester to offer peer support and encouragement to our newest members. Simply put, Next 
	Step brings students together to help one another.

MTSU Student Food Pantry, Seul

	Description:	The student food‑pantry idea came to fruition in spring 2012. The Student Government 
	Association passed legislation to create a pantry, but it did not have a physical location. With the 
	UCAC’s facilities, the partnership seemed ideal.   Any active, currently enrolled student can come 
	and access the food pantry.  However, the focus is on homeless students and students who 
	have just emerged from foster care, especially those who lack the necessary support to make it 
	on their own. The pantry is now located in the MT One Stop and have been accessed over 1500 
	times by our students.

	balance the frequencies (EQ) and loudness (volume) of all of the audio relative to one another.
