Teaching and learning using case studies: a teaching note

Abstract

This paper reviews the use of the case method as a teaching and learning vehicle. It centres on a module that aims to develop learning by the use of the case method. It examines the rationale for the development of the module and the subsequent decision to use the case method. Also identified in the paper are issues concerned with module operation and assessment. Finally, an attempt is made to evaluate the module based on a student experience perspective.
