哈佛個案教學對教師在備課、學校硬體環境配置及學生課前準備的要求較一般傳統課程來的複雜。哈佛個案教學教師需準備的內容包括個案、個案教學大綱、分組名單、座位表、教師個人的筆記，但不鼓勵教師提供作業答案予學生等。個案教學所需的硬體主要包括個案教室、個案討論室、下課休憩空間及宿舍。除此之外，學生的課前閱讀與準備，也是重要不可忽視的一環。整體而言，個案教學需多方面的配合，任何一個環節的瑕疵都可能影響預期的效果，本文的目的即針對哈佛個案教學所需的軟硬體配置進行討論並分析台灣個案教學的現況。

requirements on instructor’s preparing, school’s facility and students’ pre-class preparing than traditional teaching. The instructor needs to preview case contents, read related teaching notes, list students groups, prepare name cards, prepare self-study notes, whereas he/she is not obliged to provide solutions of the discussed questions to students.
