Hello,

First of all to get the case studies problem solve you must understand the case first via performing analysis on every aspect it talks about. Every case study problem is based on real life implications and every such question can be answered on three aspect which includes :

1. Facts

2. Analysis

3. Solution / conclusion

* In first aspect you have to mention the areas, the case is discussing about and note down the major problem.

*In second aspect you have to write about the remedies available to that particular problem using deep analysis and theoretical aspect related to that

*In third aspect you have to write about specific solution for that. And also your solution must include conclusion.

I hope you get your answer..
Thankyou..

Hello Aspirant,


There are several steps to writing an answer to a case study assignment:

STEP 1: Read case study and questions carefully

Read the case and associated questions carefully. Highlight the main points of the case and any issues that

you can identify.

Read the questions closely and analyse what they are requiring you to do.

Read the case again, linking the information that is relevant to each question you have been asked.

STEP 2: Identify the issues in the case study

Case studies describe a situation which may arise in a particular profession or social context. They often

involve a number of people in a complex situation. They will often describe a situation which is problematic,

possibly in how it is dealt with, or in its complexity. An important part of your answer is to analyse the situation

and to identify the issues/actions described in the case which may be problematic.

The following questions may help you to do this:

• What actions were taken in the case?

• Were these actions the most appropriate and why?

• Were there any consequences of the taken actions?

• Was anything omitted or not considered?

• Were actions/procedures in line with existing codes of practice, policy or theories?

STEP 3: Link theory to practice

Use your knowledge of existing codes of practice, theories and/or other professional documents and

behaviours to decide what was done appropriately and what was not. Make notes on these.

e.g. If someone was interviewed in your case study, were proper interviewing techniques used? Find theory

on interviews in your professional context in your readings and make links as to what was done well and

what was not done well. This can be expanded upon in your answer, with references to your readings.

STEP 4: Plan your answer

It can be useful to use the questions you have been set as headings and to answer each part in turn, reducing

the chance of omitting set questions. You can always take out the headings before you submit if you wish.

Lecturers usually set questions in a logical order, so answer in the order they are written in your question.

STEP 5: Start writing your case study answer

Like any assignment, you will need an introduction, body sections in which you answer the questions put to

you regarding the case study, and a conclusion

This may help.

Happy learning!
