Integrative and Experiential Learning Series: 2012 IEL Series

The presenters explained how an experiential learning component can engage and motivate students in a Qualitative Methods course. Students learned how to foster sustainable ‘green’ communities by taking the lessons learned in the classroom and applying them in the Region of Waterloo.

In the fall 2011, the School of Accounting and Finance launched a sequence of courses called "Learning to Integrate." Nancy, Tim, Shannon and Anson shared the benefits and challenges encountered as they worked together to help students make connection across courses throughout the program and between academic and community, social, and work environments. 

Students in the BKI program are expected to engage meaningfully in an area of concentration that may lie within a discipline anywhere on campus. During their final year, students complete an undergraduate research project.

 Steve Lambert and David Effa focused on how to use case studies in class, including a demonstration of case-based teaching using an actual case study.
