3. Improve students engagement in class discussions.
4. Demonstrate how to use academic concepts pertaining to a particular subject to business situations through the case method.
5. Use case-based activities in class.

Structure:

The workshop will be conducted over one day by three experienced case method teachers and is divided into two parts. In the morning session, participants will wear a "student hat" and the case teacher will wear "teacher hat". This will allow participants to sit through in a demonstrative session (an exemplar) of case method teaching. Participants will "unpack" one or two cases in this session: They will have read and prepared the case(s) assigned to them. They are required to participate "100%" through asking questions and through arriving at some sort of a solution (or solutions) under the guidance of the "facilitator".

In the second session, both the participants and the teacher will wear "Participants in a workshop" hats and jointly and interactively discuss a) how the first session was managed by the case method teacher b) what were the pros and cons of the first session c) can the first session be generalized to all the cases, all the areas of business education, to all the teachers and so on d) what are the issues case method teachers usually face either in class or in their schools in order to better manage these sessions as well as using cases in their programs.

This one-day workshop is not supposed to, nor can it transform every singly faculty member into becoming a top class case method teacher. However, it will certainly help improve their skills and launch them on a path of constant amelioration of their case method teaching skills.
