This case is a two-part series on conflicting pedagogical philosophies, the impact of student appraisals on teaching styles and the value of Peer Coaching Programmes for faculty. In Case B, Nelson reflects/elaborates on his peer coaching experience and how his thought process evolved through the course of the coaching programme. He also discusses some of the changes he made in his course outline and instructional strategy, and reveals how he had refined his teaching philosophy. This case is highly suitable for faculty development and executive education courses. Through the case, participants will determine the effectiveness of different pedagogical philosophies and discuss how a faculty can best balance one’s own teaching philosophy with the students’ approach to learning. Participants will also understand the value and importance of Peer Coaching Programmes for faculty.
