  • CASE REVIEWS: At a minimum, the case write-up should include, in this order:
    a. Executive Summary of the case: Titled as such, two brief paragraphs detailing
    the case or scenario and your understanding of it, written from a ‘First Person
    Narrative Mode’ point of view. An additional Abstract is not required.
    b. Question numbers: You do not need to write out the questions, but where
    applicable, you do need to number the answers. Some reviews may not have
    formally numbered questions; in this case, answers would reflect the topics
    embedded in the cases or scenarios.
    c. Answers to the questions: All your answers should reflect your understanding of the
    case, the material in the chapter, additional research (if any), and your personal
    knowledge and life experience. A simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’, or other short answer is not
    considered an acceptable response. Adequate justification and/or explanation of
    your statements are required.
    d. Content of the case: Most reviews should, at a minimum, be at least two (3) pages
    in length (excluding any cover page), and include sufficient explanations,
    diagramming, charts, etc. to present a thorough analysis of the issue(s) posed.
