Read the Case Study on page 551 of the text and discuss the four questions on pages 551-552:

1. Discuss the advantages and limitations of lecture versus group discussion as teaching methods for this session. Could these two methods be successfully combined? How?
2. To encourage team members to actively participate in the presentation, which other teaching methods can be used?
3. Common variables are known to affect the selection of teaching methods, such as the size and diversity of the audience, learners' needs and learning style preferences, the content to be taught, the setting, the resources available, and the educator's comfort with the teaching method. Select three variables, and explain how they might influence which teaching method is selected.
4. State three general principles (basic rules or key strategies that are effective for teaching across methodologies) that can be applied to this particular learning opportunity.
