| Summary: | The task of preparing a case is similar to writing a legal brief or an essay insofar as all three should contain a thesis or main point and argumentation or logically arranged facts and inferences. However, different from a brief or an essay, case studies should not contain a conclusion. A case should lead the reader through the facts, but it should not offer a firm or fixed resolution or moral judgment. Ideally it should leave the reader with the opportunity to create and insert their own conclusion., A good case study should be amenable to the following kinds of questions or analysis procedures:, What is the problem? or What is at stake?, What are the non-normative or factual issues involved?, What are the normative or ethical issues involved?, What are the alternatives available?, What decision would you make? |
