From my experience in other classes, using a case study as a basis for learning is very effective. It helps give the student insight into real world issues, and allows them to offer their opinion on how to solve them. Another good thing about using a case study to learn from is the fact that genneraly there is not right or wrong answer. Real world problems require real world solutions, which usually aren’t so cut and dry.
The first step to analyzing a case study is to read it all the way through, being careful to notice the details. There are usually questions afterwards so if you don’t want to ready it through twice you might want to pay attention the first time. Next, write a short summery of the case at the start of your analysis and then rewrite the questions before you answer them so the reader understands what your getting at, without having to read the whole case. Answer the questions to the best of your ability. Typically at the end of your analysis, a conclusion is the best way to sum up your response. Restate the summery and give a broad conclusion on the questions you answered to leave the reader with a good understanding of what the case was about and how you would solve any underlying issues.
