Theory in practice
Looking back to my university in Latvia, I did not know too much about case method and did not have experience in studying with the case method. I thought IE is great school just because its teachers and program structure. When we started to study and straight away we started to study based on case method. For me it was great to see how much I can learn out of it.
Many people complain that in the school they study poor theory and no any practical usage of the theory. The case method is perfect solution for it. You receive a case from real world where you need to apply theory learned in the class, logic, past experience and group work to find the best solution for the situation. And later during class discussions you see how did you do it and what possible mistakes did your group make. Many similar cases can happen with you when you will go to business environment and this is great way how to know how to deal with them.
