Use of Student Developed Cases

For the last couple years I have had students develop their own cases for use in the classroom. I form the students into teams of 3 or 4 people, give instructions on how to write an interesting case and then have them submit one, 3-page paper on the case. The case is open-ended, so no analysis or solutions. At the end of the course, each individual student in the class turns in a 10-page paper using the material from the class to analyze the root cause of the problem of the case and potential solutions to the problems. Great results.
