Project Description

Through the support of this TD project, a dossier of eight local case studies in social science and public policy will be developed, including teaching plans for case discussions. • The case studies will be implemented in the form of (1) case discussion and (2) case competition.

• To adopt case teaching in social science and public policy by developing local case studies and other teaching resources so that students learn how to analyze and explain social phenomena and recommend solutions to resolve decision dilemmas in public policy, especially in Hong Kong context
• There are two main reasons for adopting case teaching in social science and public policy:

1. Most UG classes in social science are offered in a lecture format.
2. Hong Kong local cases are largely unavailable in mainstream textbooks
