Case Study Lecture
Case study lectures work well within the nursing field. They provide a scenario of a patient and allow critical thinking stills of students to be activated. Time can be varied for case study lectures to accomodate for the time available.
Class Studies can sometime be difficult to find for web design and social media marketing especially since SMM is new. Do you have any resources you suggest?
Leah,
I am a big fan and user of case studies for the reasons you list. Yes, your field is perfect for case studies because in essence each animal presented is a case study. They are really great for developing problem solving skills and reflective thinking.

Case studies are perfect for the veterinary medical field and I try to incorporate them into homework assignments as well as questions on exams. These give me ability to see if my students grasp some concept that we covered in class. Sometimes multiple choice questions don't give me a good evaluation what the student has learned and retained, so by doing these case studies I can pick up on what areas they understood and what areas they need help on and assigning partial credit.
Mary,
I use case studies a lot in my teaching as well. I feel they show both relevance and application to the students and it helps them to them to use their problem solving skills.
