Re the recent discussion of case-based teaching, some of you might be
interested in the following announcement. I attended a couple of years ago,
enjoyed it, and learned a lot.

This five-day workshop focuses on training undergraduate college science
faculty to teach with case studies and to write their own cases. The final
two days, workshop participants teach a case before a student audience
using a case they have developed during the workshop or from our case
study collection. Participation in the workshop is by application only
and is limited to 40 people per workshop session. Our grant funding
allows us to offer the workshop without charging a registration fee. In
addition, meals and materials are covered. Travel expenses and lodging
are not. Workshop participants receive a $200 stipend for producing a
case study within six months of the workshop for our case web site at
http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/projects/cases. Workshop participants
and five of their colleagues also each receive a one-year gift
subscription to the _Journal of College Science Teaching_.
