New Directions for Evaluation

The Spring 2005 issue of New Directions for Evaluation, Teaching Evaluation Using the Case Method, edited by Michael Q. Patton and Patricia Patrizi is intended to advance the practice of evaluation teaching using the case method by “providing specially developed cases for teaching and teaching guidelines and discussion points to use in conjunction with the cases” (p. 3). In this issue, chapters 2-4 conclude with “Teaching Guidelines and Questions,” which are intended to provide general case teaching guidance by providing case teaching questions and evaluation points to elicit through questioning.
