General remarks |
Case studies can be used advantageously in problem or project based learning. In more standard settings where studying theoretical aspects preceeds application, these cases can be used for practicing on a large scale problem.Several of the examples suggested here require material from other chapters and can be used in a manner that integrates the study of different types of phenomena. |
