Case Studies

Each case study will consist of six parts:

Case Study Powerpoints or Adobe PDFs are limited to 20 slides 
and oral Case Study presentations are limited to 15 minutes. 
Points are deducted for exceeding these limits.

The Case Study assignments are available on the web. The Teaching Assistants who lead the discussion groups will grade the case studies.

Exemplary case studies from classes of the past are posted in the Hall of Fame. Do not select a Hall of Fame case study space for your project!

Your TA may want a hard copy of your work in pdf format. Also upload your presentation to the desktop of the lab computer before you present so that the TA may have a digital version. 

Use your last names as the file name for your presentation file (ppt or pdf), e.g., DeweyCheathamHowe.ppt. This naming convention will help assure that your TA gives you the proper grade, not the grade for that weird team that did the same building. Plus it will give you better recognition on your Hall of Fame project, right?
