Writing a Progressive Case to Enhance Student Learning

Let’s talk progressive cases! Case study is a well-worn technique for teaching management theory. Progressive cases allow students to dig into course topics in a more systematic and comprehensive way. In this session we will practice writing our own progressive case that provides a scaffolding technique to apply theory as you move through textbook chapters. We will first explain how and why we use a progressive case in both our Principles of Management and OB courses to improve theory application, student collaboration, and critical thinking. Next, in groups we will create a roadmap around which a progressive case can be built, with a group discussion on matching course topics to case development. Finally, we will develop our own progressive case idea. Participants will leave the session experiencing how to build a progressive case to illustrate the concepts they believe are most important.
