Background to workshop

This interactive workshop will guide participants through the fundamentals of the case method, case writing and case teaching. The experienced workshop tutors will present examples of good practice; enabling participants to adapt the method for use in their own institutions.

Case studies, from a variety of subject disciplines, will be discussed in practical teaching sessions. Participants will experience the case method and be able to reflect upon the strengths and weaknesses of case teaching from a student, and an academic, perspective.

The tutors will provide guidance on case writing and present cases for critical analysis. Time will be allowed for participants to develop their own case writing skills, to work through writing models and to put some of the theory into practice.
