Case Method: Student Impact
Experiential Learning puts students in the driving seat, with most speaking led by students discussing details of the case and their recommended course(s) of action. Students are immersed in real-world business problems and must rely on collaboration and disciplinary knowledge to arrive at an appropriate solution. As a result, the Case Method:
- Make teaching more relevant for students
- Empowers students to apply theory and judgement to real world problems
- Encourages students to learn from each other
