Prof. Neel believes “a picture is worth a thousand words”. As attention spans decrease, a teacher’s challenge is to grab and hold attention to explain concepts in class. Students are presented with real world examples—using cases, industry examples, new articles, etc.— to paint a business situation that hooks the student’s attention. This creates an atmosphere to discuss, debate and demonstrate concepts with high retention for future application in real world scenarios.
