ABSTRACT
Case teaching is an instructional mode that calls for opportunistic teaching. Once a case has reached its target, the next step is figuring out how to maximize student learning. This chapter focuses on practical techniques to use in the classroom and methods for connecting them to pedagogical theory. It presents simples ways to organize one's teaching strategy when using cases: Purpose, Persona, Preparation, Problems, and Practice. The Problems, Causes, Alternatives, Solution, and Implementation (PCASI) template encourages students to adopt a logical method of analysis that leads to the core of the case and gives them tacit permission to disregard factors that are not relevant to a case solution. It is important to remember that significant student learning takes place outside the classroom while they research and prepare their case presentations or written analyses. While talk about grading students' output, teachers consider two different concepts: summative evaluation and formative evaluation.
