Try to relate the cases to the concepts and frameworks you learned in class and your own work experience.
Below are a few requirements for the format of the case write-ups:
– The essay should be typed (hand-written essays will not be accepted) and more or less two single-spaced pages, using a font size of 12 points. Essays and project reports should follow the APA format.
– Start your essay by writing down your question number (e.g., Q1); no need to retype each question. Support your arguments with facts from the case or elsewhere. Feel free to use a bullet format wherever appropriate. There are no “right” answers to these cases; it is the rigor and effort of your analysis that are important and forms the basis for your write-up evaluation.
– In writing the cases, assume that the readers of your analysis are familiar with the facts of the case. Therefore, avoid merely restating/repeating facts that can be found in the case unless you need them to support a point or to deflect a counterpoint.
All case write-ups are to be done individually. See the class schedule for due dates. Graded write-ups with feedbacks will be returned to you before the next class session.
The individual case analysis will be evaluated based on three criteria:
– How well the student read the case (30%)
– How well you answered the case questions (30%)
– How much unique critical thinking and experience sharing you include the analysis (40%)
