Review the case study as an application exercise in small groups or together as a class.
Depending on your program some of this content in the case study may not have been taught. Do not let
that prevent you from utilizing this case study! Instead, use it to promote learning by having students
identify what they do not yet know and provide guidance to where they can find the information in the
textbook or on the internet to address knowledge gaps. This is educational best practice and another way
to scaffold knowledge!
