Abstract
This chapter describes a teaching experience whereby students learnt by teaching and assessing other students. A group of students was tasked with explaining a topic from the course and preparing an exam on that topic. The remaining students in the class completed a questionnaire to measure their satisfaction. They also completed an online test on the topic following the presentation by their peers. Assessment was based on a win-win strategy because the average mark on the test counted towards the final assessment of the students who gave the presentation. The methodology allows students to study content in greater depth level and develop skills like responsibility, critical analysis and empathy. Learning by teaching lets students take individual actions that demonstrate responsibility for the group as a whole Survey results indicated high student satisfaction. Furthermore, social interaction was greater with the learning by teaching method than with the traditional case study approach.
