Ivey’s case-based learning approach can be challenging but highly rewarding. Here are six faculty members’ tips to maximize your experience:

- David Wood: Engage in a three-step learning process: individual preparation, small group discussion, and large group discussion.
- Alison Konrad: Study materials on the concept before reading the case for better class integration.
- Martha Maznevski: Read, pause, take notes, read more, and then analyze to avoid getting lost in case details.
- Mary Gillett: Avoid the temptation to find out what really happened in the real company as it can hinder critical thinking.
- Paul Beamish: Embrace the energy of the case method and actively participate in class to develop critical thinking skills.
- Kanina Blanchard: Embrace the diversity of perspectives in your team, collaborate, and work toward shared goals for a rewarding learning experience.
