The result, a business case about the student’s workplace, was ultimately presented atan academic conference and is now under consideration for publication. We describe the circumstances that led to the project, its outcomes, and our experiences. In addition, we provide guidance to other professors who wish to promote research collaborations with undergraduate students, referring to principles of assignment design as articulated by John Bean (2011) and the National Council of Teachers of English (2016), among others.  \nUnpdeartgcapduateatien  \nstudents frequently seek to the published discourse of their  \nfields. Even advanced undergraduates, however, often require considerable assistance with the process of learning to write what MacDonald (1994) termed“expert insider prose”(as cited in Bean, 2011, p. xii) . Citing MacDonald’s term, Bean (2011) encourages teachers to design portals through which students can“enter their field’s discourse community, especially learning how disciplinary genres embody disciplinary ways of thinking and making knowledge”(p. xii) . As“students cross the threshold from outsider to insider,” Bean later states, “they also cross the threshold from superficial learning motivated by grades to deep learning motivated by engagement with questions. Their transformation entails an awakening—even, perhaps, a falling in love”(p. 253) .  \nSuch transformative border crossings require considerable efforts in curricular bridge building, as Bean notes in his extended discussion under the heading “Departmental Collaboration to Teach Undergraduate Research” (p. 253) . A related  \napproach, however, involves professor-student collaborative authorship. The authors of this essay engaged in just such a collaboration—a business professor (Colleen), her student (Michelle), and an English professor (Mark) together transformed a course assignment into a conference presentation anda publication. By learning about how this collaboration came about, readers of this essay may be inspired to imagine ways to tailor their own strategies for fostering such collaborations with their own students.  \nThe Context  \nThe collaborative process began in a third-year course in Leadership Development, required for the leadership major offered at Brescia University College, a small liberal arts university in London, Ontario. Like many academic collaborations, this one arose from an informal conversation between Colleen and Michelle. During a class break, they were  \ndiscussing the lack of high-quality teaching materials for leadership development at the organizational level. Michelle, who had previously graduated from community college and was finishing university part time while working full time at a local hospital, mentioned a situation in her workplace that would make a good business case about leadership development. Colleen and Michelle agreed to pursue this opportunity.  \nAfter receiving approval from Michelle’s employer, Michelle and Colleen set out to obtain the university’s approval for Michelle to take an independent-study course based on this project. With Colleen’s help, Michelle prepared a course syllabus requiring a literature review, a decision-based case, an instructor’s manual, and an essay reflecting on her own writing, leadership development, and research skills. Michelle met with the Dean and received approval for the independent study. Michelle and Colleen planned to have the case and instructor’s manual ready for classroom testing in the Leadership Development course the following academic year and to submit the c","cbCaig4yLXLYnMBE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig4yLXLYnMBE","pdf",167385,"English","# The Collaborative Case: From Class Assignment to Publication\n## Background and Motivation\n## The Context of the Collaboration\n## The Genre: Business Cases","[{\"question\":\"What collaboration is described in the essay?\",\"answer\":\"Two professors and an undergraduate student collaborate to transform a course assignment into a business case connected to the student’s workplace.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the project progress from class work to a publication pathway?\",\"answer\":\"The team prepared materials for classroom testing, presented the case at an academic conference, and the work is then under consideration for publication.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the essay focus on the business-case genre?\",\"answer\":\"The authors explain how business cases function as descriptions of real situations involving decisions or problems, and how the genre requires specific skills and conventions.\"}]","The Collaborative Case: From Class Assignment to Publication | PDF",1792087888,18]
