The Senior Seminar in Biology course at Kean University teaches students who have taken core biology courses and achieved senior status to research primary literature on current topics in biology and produce a traditional seminar presentation that includes a written report and a clear and comprehensive oral talk with ensuing discussion. Senior seminar students were surveyed on their opinions of a course that required them to create and present original formal case studies; this resulted in an accumulation of quantitative and qualitative data that were supportive of the case study method. The survey also revealed statistically significant correlations that support the case study method as an important pedagogical tool for learning scientific information.
