But there are good ways to usecase studies and then there are bad ways to use them. In this presentation, I hope to make somemodest recommendations regarding what goes into using case

This approach is read-ily implemented by an individual instructor and can be part of a comprehensive effort to teachethics across the curriculum. The approach should be considered an introductory component ofan ethics instruction strategy where the learning objective is awareness rather than mastery.I.

We recommend thatthe students receive clear, consistent, and reasonably complete assignments provided by thelaboratory instructor. It is important that the students continue through all phases of eachassignment, and fully engage in solving problems as they encounter them.
