Unit 9. Case study

Кейс-метод – это учебный материал, в котором заложена проблема, предполагающая коллективный или индивидуальный поиск решения данной проблемы с последующим разбором на занятии. При работе с кейсом упор делается не на овладение готовыми знаниями, а на самостоятельное изучение проблемы с последующим ее решением. Нахождение решения проблемы, заложенной в кейсе, приводит к дискуссии под руководством преподавателя на основе принципа « процесс обсуждения важнее самого решения », что, в итоге, сможет привести к нескольким вариантам решений.

Группа делится на подгруппы, состоящие из четырех-пяти человек. Каждая группа должна иметь описание кейса и набор карточек. · Изучите обстоятельства дела и сформулируйте проблему кейса. Alec Crabtree was found dead at his desk in his study last night. He had been hit on the head with a blunt object. He had been sitting at the desk with his back to the door, and was in the middle of writing a letter. He was found by his wife, when she went in to bring him his bedtime cocoa at 11.15 p.m., but his watch, which had been smashed in the struggle, had stopped at 11.05 p.m. · Проанализируйте список подозреваемых.
