They do better in theoryclass when they can follow outlines and if the teacher pointed out how the theory applyto the real world before class. The research indicates that as long as what they arestudying are facts or procedures, they are comfortable.

Developing thecases was not straightforward or easy. As busy professionals, our graduates didn’t mindbeing shadowed, but they were not really interested in helping write cases or examples.In other words, they were happy to see us, but they didn’t really want any more work todo.
