==What is case study?==
Read more about '''[[case study development]]'''! And consider when case studies might be used - as a method of research...

''"The case study is most useful for generating hypotheses, whereas other methods are more suitable for hypotheses testing and theory building."''<ref>Case study. (2010, November 15). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 10:40, November 25, 2010, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Case_study&oldid=396806238</ref>

...or as a well developed method in teaching/learning<ref>ETH Zurich, Natural and Social Science Interface (NSSI): Transdisciplinarity Laboratory (TdLab) [online] [cit 2010-11-12] available from http://www.uns.ethz.ch/translab/index</ref>. In this course, it will serve as a tool for joint work on specific globalization theme.

==Write it yourselves!==
While case study research has its specifics, the writing process is similar to any other academic discourse.
=== Writing assistant ===
* [[Blank page]] is template with relevant instructions - start your writing process here:
** If you still need to decide about your theme and focus? Start with [[Reading manual|reading (for writing)]] or try [[Prewriting techniques|prewriting]].
** [[Literature review]] is a good starting point when you already have some (research or preliminary) question.
* [[Writing manual]] is a good overview of writing techniques - pay attention to ethical rules whech need to be observed carefully!
* Model of the Case Study writing - [[New Zealand 2010: Mining in Schedule 4 Conflict]]
* And the '''new case study to be collaboratively developed in this course: [[Ghana 2011: Gold Mining Resurgence]]'''

==== Examples for your work ====
