ECCH “template” • Title page • Summary of the case: brief description of case and its context. • Teaching objectives and target audience: describes, with examples, the key issues and learning objectives, indicating the target group for the case. • Teaching approach and strategy: suggests how to approach the case in class, e.g. trigger questions, the case’s demand on time-tabling, suggestions for assignments. • Analysis of case questions: answers to the list of questions above. Should at least be as thorough as one would expect from the best students. • Suggested readings: reference list according to key approaches mentioned above. • Feedback: indication of how the case worked with different student groups • Appendices: e.g. references, follow up on what happened later in the story (real life), etc.
HBS Publishing/Darden “template” • Overview or synopsis • Topical areas: type of course, target group, position in the course curriculum • Teaching objectives: “a case written without a teaching strategy or an opportunity to connect theory to practice [or vice versa] is only a story” • Timing: how much time is needed to successfully teach the material? • Time allocation plan • Student assignment: readings, study questions • Board plan: how points may be organized on the board as the discussion proceeds • Discussion questions and analysis/student response • Sequel or epilogue • “Case B” • Video • Teaching aids • Supplemented material
Teaching notes are living documents • They must be added to and recast to reflect the instructor’s experience in the case/with the case • Pilot the case • Pilot the teaching note
