What is a case study?
"...complex examples which give an insight into the context of a problem as well as illustrating the main point." (Fry et al, 1999)
"student centred activities based on topics that demonstrate theoretical concepts in an applied setting." (Davis & Wilcock, 2003) Case study represents PRACTICAL contribution to the theme based on experience more than readings. In order to accomplish it successfully, please:
- choose a local issue with global dimension and describe it - it will be included as a Case Study as an annex of Globalisation 2010/2011 Themes
- you might explore resources and links that we have provided you - case writing is not pure description of the situation. In order that somebody could learn from it, you have to observe some basic principles.
