Thanks Herschel! I have reviewed all of your excellent forum comments and appreciate your interest in the discussion activities. Certainly having students work a case together and then present their findings as a team allows them to not only analyze information and recommend solutions, but also synergize their inputs in a team dynamics atmosphere. In addition, I often have had students keep a learning journal where they summarize concepts and applications as well as develop questions on the material and even relate relevance as to how they would utilize concepts in the workplace. This seems to particularly help students with ld and tends to cross learning styles. Incidentally, a colleague of mine once gave his MBA students a case to analyze and respond to, but the case did not involve anything that needed to be "fixed." Instead, the company was doing well in every category and my colleague asked students to make further performance inprovement recommendations based on existing positive performance. It "blew their minds" because they were so used to looking at problematic situations...a little different twist...interesting.
