Teaching the Case with Advanced Students For advanced students, a term-long assignment could be given in which students are asked to undertake a truncated version of the process they are going through in class to develop a thorough understanding a natural resource problem of their interest. At the end of each Module, they are asked to take themselves through the same process for their individual case as homework. At the end of the Case or semester, they submit a more comprehensive term paper that describes the problem, explores its social and biophysical intricacies, and proposes a set of solutions. If teaching the case to Spanish-speakers, students could generate a lot of the information that comes pre-prepared in this description. For example, students could search the web and come up with a list of stakeholders (Module III) and sufficient information about them to complete Table 1. Similarly, for Module IV (governance) students could explore Mexico’s National Commission for Water (Comisión Nacional del Agua - CONAGUA) website () to find much of the information on the legal framework governing groundwater use and access in Guadalupe Valley, opinions on the implications of recent changes to the rules, and so on. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL (Supplementary_Material.pdf) This is material that is necessary to complete each Module. Answer keys will not be made available online - requests can be made to acquire them from SESYNC or the authors.
