Description

Case studies are a tested teaching strategy. Most case studies focus on talking about the client and what they did and not planning for their future. I will discuss how to use cases as live client substitutes and as preparation for real client work.

Teaching cases has it challenges. Students can be overconfident and many existing cases studies are only designed to diagnose problems or are carefully scripted to fit a narrow chapter lesson within a textbook.

This FREE 30-Minute Webinar presents strategies to move students beyond the confines of the case and its past and empowering them to create a fully implementable strategic plan. It explains the often missing element is looking forward into the unknown future, using marketing theory and research beyond the case and the textbook letting students prepare viable solutions that deepen their understanding and provide true simulations and preparation for successful client-based projects.

About the Panelist

For 30 years Dr. Renée Fontenot (Georgia College) has worked with businesses across a range of industries and different points in their lifecycle. Over the past 20 years, she has coached roughly 3,000 students through client-based projects for over 325 unique clients. Clients have come from across a broad spectrum, for-profit and not-for-profit, small and medium sized, start-up through decline. The cases are all real situations from real clients. She is the author of Strategic Marketing Cases: Smallville, Midville, & Grandville through Kendall Hunt Publishing.

Registrants and attendees of the webinar will be given a complimentary handout, Case Analysis: Symptoms vs. Primary Problem, with tools to help students to identify the root cause of common client statements.

Presenters: 

Susan Clutter received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Clark University and a Master’s Degree in Forensic Science from the George Washington University. She worked as a CSI for the Montgomery County and Baltimore City Police Departments in MD before becoming a college professor in 2003. She has taught at various colleges in the Maryland and Virginia area, and has taught forensic courses for the Virginia Fire Marshal Academy and the State Department. Her specialty areas include Crime Scene Investigation, Blood Pattern Interpretation, and Fire Science.

Dr. Leggie [Leh ‘jee] Boone is a Forensic Analyst for a sheriff’s office in Florida. She has been involved in forensic sciences since 1993, including overlapping years as a crime scene investigator and educator in Baltimore, Maryland. When her daughter was born, she left the hectic schedule of being a Forensic Services Supervisor, pharmacy assistant, and adjunct professor to teach full-time. Teaching high school and college sciences inspired the pursuit of her Master’s degree in Forensic Science. In 2008, she moved to Florida where she returned to crime scenes and was recruited to become a Forensic Analyst with her current agency.

David McGill received his BA at the University of Maryland at College Park, and his MFS in forensic Science at The George Washington University. He has over two decades of forensic examination experience, with a specialization in Footwear and Tire Track Examination. Currently, he works as a Program Manager and System Administrator for the Traq Evidence System at his local Department of Police. He is also a Police Training Commission Certified Instructor, and in addition to his publication with Kendall Hunt, he also has published several research articles on Crime Scene Investigation.

Description

We live in a world and nation polarized by ethical controversies and awash in fake news and propaganda. If only there were a time and place where we could discuss these topics constructively and learn ways to objectively evaluate the arguments and evidence that support our moral opinions? Fortunately, philosophy has always refined and disseminated the critical thinking skills and ethical theories we desperately need to ameliorate these disputes.

During this FREE 30-Minute Webinar, Dr. Albert Spencer (Portland State University) explains how he uses the subjects of Sports, War, and Sexuality to empower his students to deepen their sense of social responsibility by exploring their own identity through the study of a diverse range of contemporary and historical authors. Students then learn across their differences through online discussion of current controversies and articulate their own informed opinions through independent research, peer review, and authentic writing assignments.

Too often, the First Year Seminar course is viewed as easy credit - or worse, a "throw-away" class. Today's freshmen are chronically underestimated, and as a result, the college seminars with which they are presented lack the academic rigor to adequately prepare them for future coursework.

Join Dr. Angela Vaughan as she presents an alternative: allowing first-time college students to engage in research-based intellectual discussion that integrates them into the scholarly community. In this webinar, you'll learn how to create an appropriately-challenging First Year Seminar, set high standards for student achievement, get stakeholders on board, and more!

Presenter: 

Angela Vaughan holds a doctoral degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. She is the Faculty Director of the University 101 program at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley. Currently, Dr. Vaughan consults with other first-year programs across the country who want to transform their current programs into an academically rigorous research-based first-year seminar. This includes designing and delivering comprehensive instructor and faculty professional development and training, creating curriculum to serve a wide-range of student populations, and constructing assessments and providing analysis to support short- and long-term program improvement. Her specific expertise is to design resources and programs that serve underrepresented student populations (i.e., first-generation students, conditionally admitted students, and students of color).
