Developing
an idea, analyzing and writing up a case study allowed for a reliable and
proper method of learning. I found this mean of teaching as a great way for
participating and enhancing our current writing styles. Whether some of the
students were developing an idea “from scratch” or basing it on a current
project or job-related topic, it put us in the position of practicing strategy.
First,
buy developing the idea, it compelled us to come up with a topic that has not
yet been analyzed to that extent or not even at all. The purpose of writing this paper could also
be to “diagnose and size up” (p. 2) the human factor issues related to it (Schreiber,
2014). Second, by diving into the significance of the problem and proposing the
alternatives, we were able to increase our understanding of what would be an
appropriate technique for resolving the problem and what wouldn’t be. Third, we
gained valuable practice in identifying and proposing new recommendations. This
way we were able to systematically specify a workable strategy for future
actions.
I
believe this to be an important and skillful method for participating in the
class. Although all of us are in the aviation industry, not all have the same
job requirements on a daily basis. However, this method is transparent and
applicable for different companies and therefor, allows for actual work-related
experience. Additionally, the traditional written case study was coupled with
creating a presentation, which supported focusing on the details.
A
recommendation would be releasing and posting our presentations to a discussion
board. I believe that by seeing how other students further expanded their work,
we would gain valuable knowledge. In my, opinion, the case analysis was
favorable and a valuable experience that will most certainly be applicable for
any future projects and job positions.
