Erwin, I think you are doing a good job with the approach that you are using. I use case studies with my classes to get my students to see the relevance of what is being taught and to make application of the skills they are developing. If your subject matter lends itself to case studies you might want to consider using them. You can put your students into small groups of 3-4 students and have them work on the case studies and then have a class discussion on how they would resolve the problem presented in the study. The case studies can come from your work so they are current and you know how they turned out so your students can see how the case was handled in real time. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
