Socrates' Muse: Reflections on Effective Case Discussion
Prof. Robert F. Bruner's ideas on teaching are excellent, and more importantly, they work! (My own course ratings improved dramatically when I followed his advice under pacing and preparation.)
He has written a book for teachers who care about student learning . It's great for ideas on self-improvement. I've given it as a gift to faculty who are interested in making the switch to case teaching. It also has a really good section on how to watch other faculty teach.
