Learning through the experience of others is one of the best tools for building and enhancing skills and thought processes. Case studies from the public and private sector provide an opportunity for students to examine how leaders apply intelligence information to functions such as planning, policy-making, resource allocation, and field operations. Through the application of principles learned in previous classes and new ones offered in this course, students critique and debate approaches to a series of cases involving intelligence analysis. Through reading and analyzing case studies and interacting with guest lecturers, students identify strategies for resolving actual situations. Students present their own experiences and examples to enhance discussion of the cases. Students gain and demonstrate critical thinking skills as they apply their experience to solving the cases presented in class.
