Stearns, Susan A.

College Teaching, v42 n3 p107-08 Sum 1994

A four-step approach to teaching complex concepts at the college level involves a sequence of lecture, an individual assignment, small group discussion, and larger group discussion instruction. The last three steps focus on case study applications. The method is adaptable to different teaching situations and promotes expansion of student experience and viewpoint. (MSE)
