Abstract

Case study approach in teaching major-specific courses of real estate development and management is a whole set of teaching methods and skills that is based on actual cases of real estate projects, aimed to help learners of such courses to achieve particular learning objectives. In order to avoid such gaps that are commonly found in the practice of case study approach, that is, gaps between cases used and the objectives of the course, gaps between teaching the course in class and developing student's hands-on ability, a teaching strategy for specific courses to the major of real estate development and management is discussed in this paper to "use one comprehensive actual project throughout the course", closely combining the content of course with realities, and class instructions with hands-on experience of students, which, coupled with in-class discussions and case reviews of instructor, is designed to effectively increase students' ability to identity, analyze, and solve problems. In the meantime, this strategy has been put into application in the course of real estate investment analysis.
