Teaching Workshop
The transmission of basic ideas concerning the acting human person is a priority for the MCE Project.
The Teaching Workshop consists in multiple workshops, whose participants include professors of ethics interested in learning the case method as well as other supplemental teaching methods.
These workshops are meant to evaluate the importance and the limits of these didactic approaches in order to adapt them to the goals of the Project, encouraged by the aid of the different Faculties of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross and other institutions with whom the MCE Project collaborates.
A basic bibliography, concerning technical aspects as well as content, will be provided, allowing each participant to continue this work on his own.
During the 2010-2011 academic year, the “Ethics and Philosophical Anthropology in the Case Method” Teaching Workshop was held by Prof. Mercado.
