I love to tie in a case study of some sort to make the students think. The other day in Hospitality Supervision, the book has a scavenger hunt that was a good idea. I took the idea, catered it to my need and man o man it was fun. I had a list of things (this varies upon class size)that would challenge them to work together and timed them to get all items on the list and tied it to the daily grade. I have done this many many times. Usually after a very short briefing from me (here is a list, I am giving you x amount of time to talk about it and 30 min to get the 100 things on the list) This is where it gets interesting, a class will either all scatter like cats OR in a couple of classes someone steps up to organize the effort. It is a learning example for me but also for them that even though everyone one wants to be a leader the acceptance of one has occured in many of the classes I have taught. Any thoughts as to how this could be a better study?
