Educators put careful consideration into deciding what students most need to know about our disciplines. But what do students themselves feel they need to learn?

In Inspiring Minds, Laura Nicole Miller, director of graduate business programs at Assumption University, and Karen McCullough, assistant professor at Fort Hays State University, share how they implemented a co-creation model that gives students a say in their curriculum while keeping core course content and learning goals intact.

Want to get students really talking in a case discussion? Present them with two cases and an obvious contradiction, says Professor Michael Roberto, the Trustee Professor of Management at Bryant University.

By comparing two similar industries with different outcomes or two organizations that achieve the same result through different strategies, students must synthesize evidence, apply concepts, and defend their reasoning. The result is stronger analytical and metacognitive skills, from discernment to judgment.

Learn how comparing two case studies can challenge students to investigate unexpected outcomes, apply course concepts, and strengthen their reasoning.

“People do not learn from errors simply because they receive feedback. Whether mistakes become learning opportunities depends largely on the emotional response they trigger.”

In Inspiring Minds, educators at Harvard Business School, Ivey Business School, and Beedie School of Business share why well-delivered feedback often fails to produce learning in the classroom.

Emotions shape how students respond to feedback. By recognizing those reactions, educators can help students stay engaged and focused on improvement.
