In this article, the author introduces the usage of case studies to be an excellent method for engaging students through stories. The author notes she developed a series of mini-case studies that can be implemented, with a little advance preparation, within a 10- to 15-minute window during lecture. What makes them "mini" case studies? They take only 10 to 15 minutes of class time, and the case is limited to a single scenario with only a few questions to explore. A mini-case study can be introduced immediately after covering the background material in the lecture period or, alternatively, as a follow-up to preassigned reading and associated learn-before-lecture homework. Mini-case studies can be introduced with relatively small changes to course structure; they offer an easy way to increase student engagement and help students move beyond information gathering as the primary take-away from class to using and applying their developing knowledge.
