Case Studies and Role Playing Games

Herreid, C.F. (Ed.). (2007). Start with a Story: The Case Study Method of Teaching College Science. Arlington, VA: NSTA Press. http://books.google.com/books/about/Start_with_a_Story.html?id=HdXcYhThxoIC

There are several national clearinghouses for case studies that have been developed and tested by science faculty.

In Spring 2015 – Week 8, we ran a role playing game.
In the GMO role playing game debate, you will each have a role and take a side on the issue. Roles will be assigned by the first letter of your last name—see below. Read the appropriate short articles for your role and come prepared to discuss your side of the issue.
