01
Find or browse study cases
Search by condition, pattern, symptom, formula, herb, or learning theme, or open Explore Cases for a simpler searchable list.
Student benefit: Students spend less time hunting for examples and more time practising interpretation.
02
Choose a suitable level
Use tutor-reviewed difficulty levels and suggested-route groupings, with AI difficulty suggestions treated as advisory until reviewed.
Student benefit: Students can choose cases that match the current learning goal without assuming every label was automatically correct.
03
Read the source case first
Open the full case record, including Classical Case Study labels where relevant, before starting the guided learning workspace.
Student benefit: Students begin with evidence from the record rather than jumping straight to a model response.
04
Make the first interpretation explicit
Read the presentation, identify important signs, and write an initial pattern and treatment direction in your own notes before revealing guidance.
Student benefit: The reasoning trail becomes visible enough to improve.
05
Use guided and practice questions
Work through guided prompts, hints, model responses, further questions, and formula-herb reasoning prompts.
Student benefit: Students practise recall, clinical judgement, application, and self-review instead of memorising one final response.
06
Compare reasoning after forming a view
Use case comparison to examine differences in presentation, diagnosis, formula choice, herb changes, and response.
Student benefit: Students see how similar cases can still call for different clinical decisions.
07
Track assigned work
Open assigned case tasks, save drafts, submit responses, watch due dates, and return when tutor feedback asks for revision.
Student benefit: Students can see what is due, what has been submitted, what is overdue, and where feedback needs action.
08
Name uncertainty clearly
Capture questions for the tutor while writing the response, especially where the case evidence is ambiguous, incomplete, or open to more than one interpretation.
Student benefit: Students learn to discuss uncertainty rather than hide it.
09
Learn through feedback threads
Use review threads to connect tutor comments back to source cases, submitted reasoning, revisions, and resolved discussion points.
Student benefit: Feedback becomes part of the learning record rather than a separate note.
10
Continue with Academy courses
Open Academy courses with sections, chapters, notes, videos, images, navigation, and completion progress alongside case-based practice.
Student benefit: Students get a study path they can return to between assignments, supervision, and clinical case work.
