Case Write Ups
Most weeks we will discuss a case that illustrates that weeks’ lecture topic. In all, we will discuss 12 different cases during the semester, and you must turn in at least 5 case write ups during the semester. Each write up will be a little bit different, but in general, you should write about 3-4 pages that relate the case to the readings/topic for that week (some cases may contain specific questions, and it’s fine to use those questions as a guide, but please make sure that you relate your answers to the readings for our class). You may select any 5 cases for your write up, and any cases that you submit beyond the 5 required will ensure that the top 5 grades for the case write ups will constitute your grade for this part of the course. If you do not write up the case, you are still expected to have read it and be ready to participate in discussion about it.
