Cases in Financial Accounting

The case method is a teaching method that has been in existence for some time. It differs from traditional teaching methods in that it does not involve the memorization of facts and an instructor lecturing the students on his thoughts. The emphasis is on the development of thinking, problem solving skills and technical knowledge through discussion. The lecture method has learning through listening with an emphasis on the acquisition of facts as its primary goal. In contrast, the case method has learning through discussion with an emphasis on thinking as its primary goal.
