Actively engaged participants in the learning process typically demonstrate superior learning outcomes, better retention, and more satisfaction with the learning experience. The authors present the use of a simulated selection interview (SSI) as a culminating experience in a graduate-level personnel selection course as a way to engage students actively in learning and assessment. The authors discuss their rationale for the SSI, major elements of the SSI, key lessons learned, and reactions from a sample of students who have experienced the SSI. Overall, students spent a comparable amount of time studying for the SSI, compared to other traditional assessment techniques (e.g., in-class and take-home exams). In addition, their survey responses indicated that they were able to apply the skills from the SSI to other interviews, which led to perceived longer-term benefits than might be expected from traditional assessments.
