This book explains how to approach and answer case studies.
Different lecturers will have different expectations about what they want from you in a written case solution. They will probably not provide you with specific, detailed instructions regarding their expectations, but they will certainly tell you if you have missed the boat or have produced a solid response. Some will ask for wide-ranging responses that cover many issues, while others will expect a more focused response. Just provide your lecturer with your best thinking and be as detailed as you think you can within the page limits you have been given.

Notes on written reports:
Always remember that you will be judged by the quality of your work, which includes your written work such as case study reports. Sloppy, disorganised, poor quality work will say more about you than you probably want said! To ensure the quality of your written work, keep the following in mind when writing your report:
Proofread your work! This cannot be stressed enough. If you do not feel that you are a good proofreader, have someone else read it through. Often we are too close to a report and do not see simple spelling errors. Or put it aside and go back a day later – this can make all the grammatical mistakes more obvious. Fresh eyes may see more mistakes than tired ones!!
