TIPS TO ANSWER CASE STUDY QUESTIONS
Assignment that require you to analyse case studies (also called scenarios) are usually designed to test your ability to relate theories and concepts to real-world situations.
- Take time to make sure you have understood the case study and know what the question is asking you to do.
- Then skim read the case study to get the general idea. Highlight or underline key points
- Reread the question to make sure you understand it and to focus your attention when you reread the case study.
- Reread the case study carefully. Make a note of any ideas that you think of.
- Answer the question linking relevant theories and concepts to specific information from the case study. Usually you will need to write your answers in clearly formed paragraphs which have a clear topic that is well-supported with evidence and examples.
- Instead of simply describing or restating information from the case itself, use specific details or examples to support the points you are trying to make. This is where you link theory to the facts from the case study.
- Provide citations whenever is necessary.
