Abstract
The presenter’s best practice of achieving collaborative learning is shared from a sample taken from presenter’s teaching experience. The presenter used one of her student clubs to strengthen students’ professionalism skills and entered them into an ethics case competition. The presentation will demonstrate that participating in a case competition through the use of student clubs can blend classroom learning while helping students gain real life experience, and improve their interpersonal skills.
The students embraced the case competition challenge. In addition to learning how to prepare for a case competition, they learned how to give a timed presentation using visual aids. The students learned how to network as they were provided business cards by the professor and instructed how to network during club meetings.  Although the work was challenging, the students thoroughly enjoyed this experience.
The information in this session is applicable to any professor seeking to learn creative teaching styles or for any student club advisor looking to share fun educational activities with their students. All institutions have student clubs, and this presenter made efficient use of her student club’s time and is delighted to share this best practice with her colleagues.
