The Baruch College Faculty Handbook

Last updated on 1/21/2010

Workshop Schedule, Fall 2009

    Case studies are true stories, “reality bites,” that educators employ to bridge the gap between theory and practice. They also serve to create new dynamics in the classroom by breaking down the traditional role of professors — they become facilitators of a more student-centered learning process. The following series is designed to explore the case study method and strengthen the use of these powerful pedagogical tools.

Tuesday, September 22, 12:30-2:30 p.m., 14-270

professional practice. List of speakers:
