This is the first time that I'll actually be doing a case study at any level so I thought it appropriate to ask all of your opinions, all help is genuinely appreciated, on the best way to tackle such an assignment. There are obviously different things to talk about with this case but I'm unsure if I should focus on my own ideas, the questions that are presented in the beginning of the case, or some combination of both.
Since this is only being done for practice I'm not necessarily all that worried about how it turns out, however I would like to make the most of this practice time and learn what it is that's expected of me early on in the process rather than later.
Thanks for all your input, and I hope that you're out enjoying this gorgeous day instead of sitting in the library doing homework.
I have never done a case study before either. My undergrad was in business but more on the office side so I had mostly hands on classes like typing and desktop publishing and classes like that. My other management and economics classes were pretty much lecture and test type classes. I was always pleased with that type of class. I am a test taker so any class that followed that format was good with me. My husband on the other hand was a history major and took all the read a ton and write a tone type classes. I do not prefer that at all! I am really hoping that he can help teach me how to do the writing that is required for this class.
ReplyDeleteI think that this first assignment will really help with our understanding of all of the writings that we'll be doing this semester. I think that reviewing everyone elses papers and having a discussion about it will help a tremendous amount. I finished the Central City case, which was pretty direct like Dr. Weyant mentioned, and have already read the Treadway Tire Company case. After I hear what everyone else has to say I think I'll feel pretty good about it all. Now the paper, on the other hand....
