Case study directions
Students will be assigned a Harvard Case study as their term project. Emphasis will be placed on themain problem being solved, key issues, and/or root causes. Students will be tasked with applying theappropriate analytical tools to case data, both quantitative and qualitative. For some cases, root causeanalysis will be used to examine symptoms/key issues to derive alternative solutions mindful of thecause(s). Alternatives will then be critically examined leading to a final solution set. For other cases, theappropriate analytical tools will be used to choose among a set of currently existing alternatives. Finally,some cases will require a combination of bothanalytical approaches.Note: Students will be provided a "case coach"(below)and grading rubric(attached) to assist in building case studypresentations/written analyses. Quality cases are usually in between 5 to 7 pages written, not includingvisuals such as spreadsheets, tables, figures, and graphs. Since cases are self-contained, there is no needfor students to use research in addition to classroom materials. If you do cite the text, case, classmaterials, etc., please give credit where credit is due by using in-text citations. If you cite resources in thebody of your case, you will also have to construct a reference page. Also, if you choose to cite materials in addition to the case itself, please use APA format.

Case Analysis Worksheet (Case Coach)
This form can be used to organize your thoughts about a case. As you perform your analysis, remain open to the fact that your interpretation of the facts may change. As a result, you should repeatedly revisit your answers to these sections as you progress through the case.
Define the Problem: Describe the type of case and what problem(s) or issue(s) should be the focus of your analysis
List any course concepts that can be applied: Write down any principles, frameworks or theories that connect your course to the issues of this case.
List relevant qualitative data: Evidence related to or based on the quality or character of something.
List relevant quantitative data: Evidence related to or based on the amount or number of something.
Describe the results of your analysis: What evidence have you accumulated that supports one interpretation over another.
Describe alternative actions: List and prioritize possible recommendations or actions that come out of your analysis.
Describe your preferred action plan: Clear statements of what you would recommend. May include short, medium and long-term steps to be carried out.
Note:
Write an abstract, finish your paper first, then type a summary that identifies the purpose, problem, methods, results, and conclusion of your work. After you get the details down, all that's left is to format it correctly. Since an abstract is only a summary of the work you've already done, it's easy to accomplish.
