This activity emphasizes identifying which type(s) of insurance are best used in which situations. It starts by showing a couple All State "Mayhem" commericals and having students identify which types of insurance that peril would need. From there, students are split into groups of 3-4 to create their own videos with assigned insurance types.

My famous line is always: My #1 requirement is that making your insurance videos does not require you to use your insurance (aka...nobody get injured or actually wreck anything!)

" This is a course in how corporations make use of the insights and tools of risk management. Most courses on derivatives, futures and options, and financial engineering are taught from the viewpoint of investment bankers and traders in the securities. This course is taught from the point of view of the manufacturing corporation, the utility, the software firm‰ŰÓany potential end-user of derivatives, but not the dealer. Most related courses focus on the extensive taxonomy of instruments and the complex models developed to price them, and on ways to exploit mispricing. While this course will make use of some of these pricing models, the focus is on how corporations use the insights and models to improve their operations, to increase the value of their real assets, or to create the financial flexibility necessary to implement their core strategy."
