Case Study Assessment instructions:
Read the following case studies below AND choose ONE (these will be posted in Week 3 after you have had your initial inputs on the module) and then write an analytical account which addresses the bullet points listed below. This applies to whichever case study you choose. In writing your account, please note the following:
You DO NOT have to offer a formal introduction and conclusion for this assessment – it doesnt add anything to this type of assessment so it would be advisable not to bother…That said if you insist you want to do one the 300 words for each (600 words in total) is more than sufficient word count. You will not gain any additional marks for including an introduction or conclusion.
You might choose to use each bullet point as a heading and write approximately 500-600 words or so under each heading.
Although this is not an essay/assignment, your observations should still be supported by evidence from your reading on this subject and appropriate referencing, adhering to the cite them right system is required.
A failure to reference properly can lead to allegations of academic offences such as plagiarism.
A reference list is still required to be included at the end of your work.Try to avoid the tendency to simply repeat the case study information in your discussion. The marker is familiar with the case study. It is your discussion and understanding of the developments in understanding and responses to this issue which are important.
In responding to this task you should cover all of the module learning outcomes. The module learning outcomes are listed on the Blackboard module shell.
