Teaching and the Case Method: Text, Cases, and Readings

It's not the book I expected.

Received in new condition and properly sent. Great idea to be used and some schools are implementing the technique. Worth a try but should not forget the basics of education.

This book is a real masterpiece, it is comprehensive, elegant and clear. Whether you use it for an MBA or any other discipline, it will be a great help, as it focuses on curiosity, judgment and wisdom (qualities of mind), character, sensitivity, integrity and responsibility (qualities of the person) and the ability to apply them.

Old world - therefore sexist in many places. May have been useful once

I ordered it recently to prepare a lecture for college teachers on teaching with cases. Half of the book is cases on teaching, the other is theoretical background or personal accounts on teaching with cases. The book is inspiring and very useful if you plan to run a longer seminar on teaching with cases. But for giving practical advice in a one-day seminar there are other books out there with structured approach and lots of tips.

El tono del discurso no me parece muy adecuado para el tipo de texto; en partes parece un mal intento literario. No sé si es característico de esta área disciplinar, pero me ha resultado fuera de lugar.En cuanto a la organización, este manual es como una pieza de un rompecabezas, organizado así para que resulte necesario comprar la guía del formador o facilitador si uno quiere enterarse de algo. He leído más manuales de casos y, aún estando separados el manual y la guía del formador, se puede trabajar perfectamente.El contenido es muy interesante pero, no sé si porque viene del mundo empresarial, el libro resulta más pensado para "vender y ganar" que para provecho de toda la comunidad educativa e investigadora. ¡Opinión personal, claro!
