Professor Cafarelli employs a student-centered pedagogy. Student involvement is required and is considered a necessary contribution to the class. This teaching approach is enhanced by the use of the state-of-the-art information and communication technologies in the business school classrooms. Current events are integrated into the curriculum in order to illustrate the real-life application of theory with textbook concepts. Professor Cafarelli coaches students to engage in critical thinking and learning, rather than memorization. She seeks to prepare students professionally as well as academically.
