Guidelines For Case Assignments

The document provides guidelines for students completing a case analysis assignment. It outlines the sections and content expected in the written report, including an introduction, statement of the problem, analysis of causes, summary/conclusion, and references. Students should apply concepts from class to thoroughly diagnose the problem and examine underlying factors. The accompanying presentation should complement the written analysis but allow individual contributions to shine through. Both the report and presentation are due the day of the scheduled oral presentation.

GUIDELINES FOR CASE ASSIGNMENTS

 
The most important thing to remember when organizing the format of a case analysis is that the format should be reader-friendly because in
business writing there are many different types of audiences involved. A typical case analysis includes a brief introduction, clear paragraphs,
comprehensive topic sentences and good transitions. Subheadings may be used to clarify breaks between sections.

1. Each team will DEVELOP/CRAFT/CHOREOGRAPH a presentation based on the written analysis. This means that your presentation should not
slavishly follow the outline given.
2. Individual contribution to the Project will be assessed. Therefore, while the appearance of Team effort must be observed and displayed, the Project (written plan
and oral presentation) must be so structured that individual contribution is discernable and measurable.
3. Presentations are scheduled in Tutorials during the week of April 4 – 9, 2011. The written documents are due on the day of the
presentations. Late submissions will automatically be given a lower grade.
