Case Method Aids Students
A four months course in Cases in Human Relations can add 15 years of experience in dealing with people, said Howard Baumgartel, instructor of economics.
"The course is designed to speed the progress of learning by the study of actual situations," Mr. Baumgartel said.
The teachers of this course are from three departments; political science, sociology, and business. The class was organized three years ago and since then has increased to six sections. Mr. Baumgartel explained that it is the students and teachers with different views that make the course serve its purpose.
"The students read true case histories and search for solutions to the problems." It might take a student several years to be exposed to a problem as serious as one of the cases discussed, he pointed out.
Those teaching the course are: Howard Baumgartel, Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and sociology; Marston McCluggage, associate professor of sociology; Sue Eichhorn, Western Civilization proctor, and Russell H. Barret, instructor of political science.
