2024 DSI Annual Pedagogy Conference
21st Century Teaching Effectiveness: Exploring the Spectrum
June 25-26, 2024
Virtual Conference
The Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) is excited to share with you two case research seminars added to the Annual Pedagogy Conference. These are hosted by Professor Eric Dolansky. Who wouldn't want to hear from a two-time Jeopardy champion!
CASE RESEARCH SEMINAR 1 - Getting Started on Case Writing
Hosted By Eric Dolansky
This session is intended to accomplish three goals: first, to explain how case research fits into an overall research agenda, second, to discuss the steps in starting a case research project, and three, to outline what the end result, in terms of the case and instructor's manual, should look like. By making an unfamiliar form of research more accessible and relevant to the participants through presentation and discussion, the aim is to inspire new case research endeavors.
CASE RESEARCH SEMINAR 2 - Teaching with Cases
Hosted By Eric Dolansky
Linking to the first session, this discussion will begin with an explanation of the benefits of using one's own cases in the classroom. From there, it will move into content related to managing classroom discussions, assessing in-class contributions, and ensuring that learning objectives are reached. Circling back to the beginning, then look at how good instructor's manuals are crafted and then used in the classroom.
