Students:Interdisciplinary Study Program on Sustainability 2011-2012
What is Globalization?
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."[7]
...or as a well developed method in teaching/learning[8]. 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 manual is a good overview of writing techniques - pay attention to ethical rules whech need to be observed carefully!
