With case discussions, the learning process is very different than for instructor-centred lectures. It requires you to take an active part in all discussions, those in small groups and those with the whole class.
To take full advantage of each case discussion, you must prep on three distinct levels: through individual work, for team work and, then, for plenary class discussions.
Beyond independent analysis, you should be prepared to express your ideas clearly and concisely, within an allocated amount of time.
In team settings, you must be able to communicate your viewpoint, while at the same time remaining open to the ideas of the other members of your team.
All participants are responsible for ensuring that discussions are lively and rewarding.
