A useful process for answering a case study is as follows:
- Carefully analyse the case: Develop a clear outline of the most significant people/incidents/details; write a short description of the most important aspects of the case, and consider what actions need to be taken for it to be resolved.
- Brainstorm: Map out your knowledge of the concepts and theories you have studied throughout your subject and determine which are most helpful for making sense of the case. Jot down ideas and solutions for the key issues.
- Focus: Determine the core elements of the case that you will focus on.
- Plan and write: Create a plan of your response (essay or report form). Describe the event/issue/situation. Address one key factor at a time integrating evidence from the case and the theoretical sources. Provide recommendations where required.
