Re: Critical Thinking Case Studies [HAPP-L]

["David Evans" <devans@pct.edu>]

I often use the "progressive revelations" format so that the "patient's"
condition evolves given the scenario.

Students love case studies and they do learn quite a bit too.

I have been using case studies for the past year and have found them to be

very helpful. Students initially resisted (as they usually do to anything 
that previous classes were not required to do), but have learned to use
them 
more effectively as learning tools (after a lot of prodding and
explanations 
as to why we are doing this). The only advice that I have is to plan ahead

and explain fully what you hope to accomplish and why you are using case 
studies. The following URL's may be useful to you.

There is also a summer workshop on the use of case studies in science 
teaching that I attended last year and found to be very educational.
