When picturing a successful case method instructor, the image that often comes to mind is that of a charismatic individual, who makes it all seem effortless. But the fact that the instructor is center stage does not imply a need for showmanship. In the case classroom, effective teaching comes in a wide variety of styles. A quiet, thoughtful, soft-spoken introvert can engage and challenge students as effectively as a dramatic, high energy extrovert. What matters most is the trust, passion and commitment to learning that the instructor brings to the class discussion, and the authenticity of whatever style is employed.
