  3. Case Components: Case Study Audience: Students Teaches one or more OR/MS concepts Grounded in a realistic context: field research vs. secondary research Classroom-tested Scope broader than a homework exercise Flexibility in audience: course, student level, student background Should generally not include assignment questions, for flexibility

  4. Case Components: Case Article Audience: Instructors considering using the case • Overview of the case • Pedagogical objectives • How case has been used in a learning experience, and with what students • Advantages/disadvantages compared to other methods/cases • Level and experience of student for which case is appropriate • Overview of how case might be adapted for various student groups • Student experience with the case • What was easy, what was challenging? • Reaction to the case (e.g. did they find it engaging?) • Important: Save case questions for the teaching note!

  5. Case Components: Teaching Note Audience: Instructors who are using the case • Password protected, released only to verifiable instructors • Guidance for instructors using the case, based on classroom experience • Case analysis, supporting models and files • Assignment questions and suggested answers • Variety of difficulty levels • Allows instructors greater flexibility in classroom use • Anything YOU would want to know if using someone else’s case!

  6. Review Process • Similar to other ITE submissions—two referees (+AE) • Constructive referee report (vs. “judgmental”) • Review focuses on case article and teaching notes (case study has been classroom tested, so only minor editorial changes) • Case article is reviewed for • Clarity of case description • Pedagogical objectives • Evidence of classroom testing • Flexibility of student audience and classroom context • Absence of answers and other information that pollutes the case for future users • Teaching note reviewed for • Completeness and correctness of analysis • Guidance on adapting to various student audiences and classroom contexts
