In the spirit of collegiality and improved learning, Associate Professor Dr. John Porter has volunteered to play the part of the patient in a game to raise awareness of Sherman's Quality Enhancement Plan. So if you hear the question, “What’s Wrong with John Porter?” remember, it’s a just game.
If you want to see what it's all about, you can visit the Case Study Instruction a.k.a. CSI blog. Clues to Dr. Porter’s case are being provided there, through e-mail to students, over the intranet and in student assemblies.
The project was launched October 15 at Bagelfest – check out the videos here. As part of the CSI game student teams search for clues to solve the case. The winning teams will be awarded cash prizes on October 31 during Sherman College’s Halloween festivities.
Porter’s case study and the Case Study Instruction project are part of Sherman College’s Quality Enhancement Plan. You'll be hearing alot more about our inovative teaching methods through our publications and on our website. During the next four years, CSI will involve improving students’ case management skills through using case studies in classes. Case studies require active student interaction with materials, which reinforces student learning. Because Sherman students have often found case study sections of the National Boards to be challenging, Case Study Instruction was a natural candidate for the QEP project.
