styles of active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal andsequential/global before instruction of the case study. The results confirm that the majority of thestudents were active, sensing, visual and sequential learners. These characteristics are ideal forthe use of cases and hands-on interactive instruction. Overall, the students found the use of casesmore engaging and the cases elevated their interest in laboratory discussions and course content.External evaluation of the student reports suggest that the use of cases did not significantlyimprove the quality of the student laboratory reports, however, student interpretation andanalysis of data slightly improved.     Purpose of Study Laboratory courses
