Peter Bell Peter Bell has been the mainstay of the highly successful management
science group at the Ivey School of Business at the University of
Western Ontario for many years. He has taught management science
successfully using primarily the case method to undergraduates,
MBAs, and EMBAs, and has written more than 100 cases. His plenary
session will address how we can teach management science as a useful
technique for dealing with problems of strategic importance, and
how we can present management science successfully to senior managers
in Executive MBA programs. Peter has a unique viewpoint on the potential
of management science that will change how you think about your
teaching! |

Richard Felder Richard Felder is an emeritus professor of chemical engineering at North Carolina State University. He founded and co-directs (with his wife Dr. Rebecca Brent) the National Effective Teaching Institute (NETI), a three-day workshop on teaching techniques offered each year before the Annual Meeting of the ASEE. He also writes the column "Random Thoughts" on educational methods and issues for the quarterly journal Chemical Engineering Education. In his plenary session, he will demonstrate how active learning can be used to deliver technical material, how it enlivens the classroom experience, and how it enhances learning. If you don't think you can use active learning in your courses, you haven't seen his video of an undergraduate engineering class of over a hundred working away on their own (but you'll see it in the plenary). You can get more information about him and read his papers and columns at www.ncsu.edu/effective_teaching. |

Chris Jernstedt Chris Jernstedt is a professor of psychology and Director of the Center for Educational Outcomes at Dartmouth College. He applies the latest findings in psychology and brain science to the design and evaluation of educational programs at all levels and around the world. In his first plenary session, Chris will share recent discoveries about how the brain stores and retains information, and what the implications of these findings are for educating adults. His second plenary session will summarize the current understanding of how humans learn, and how we can use these principles in designing and delivering our courses. What Chris has to say will surely change how you think about teaching and learning! |

Getting Started Teaching Cases Saturday, July 10, 8:30-10:00 AM Greg joined the Ivey School of Business in 1999 with a fresh degree in industrial engineering but no experience in teaching with cases. Over a period of several years he has gone from being a struggling beginner to being one of the best at a school known for excellent case teaching. Greg is acutely aware of the factors that make for successful and unsuccessful case teaching, and the challenges that traditionally-trained management science teachers face in teaching with cases. In his plenary session, Greg will equip instructors with the tools they need to effectively incorporate cases into their teaching. He will share common mistakes beginning case teachers make, and a methodology for getting started with case teaching. |
