GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A CASE STUDY
A case study analysis requires you to investigate a problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.
Your submission should be no more than 2 pages and needs to adhere to APA formatting for spacing and citations.
Include a title page, your case study (1-2 pages), and reference page.
Preparing the Case
Before you begin writing, follow these guidelines to help you prepare and understand the case study:
Read and examine the case thoroughly
Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
Focus your analysis
Identify two to three key problems
Why do they exist?
How do they impact the information security field?
Who is responsible for them?
Uncover possible solutions
Review course readings, discussions, outside research, and your experience.
Select the best solution
Consider strong supporting evidence, pros, and cons: is this solution realistic?
Drafting the Case
Once you have gathered the necessary information, a draft of your analysis should include these sections:
Introduction
Identify the key problems and issues in the case study.
Formulate and include a thesis statement, summarizing the outcome of your analysis in 1-2 sentences.
Background
Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the most important issues.
Alternatives
Outline possible alternatives (not necessarily all of them)
Why are alternatives not possible at this time (if not possible)?
Proposed Solution
Provide one specific and realistic solution
Explain why this solution was chosen
Support this solution with solid evidence
Recommendations
Determine and discuss specific strategies for accomplishing the proposed solution.
If applicable, recommend further action to resolve some of the issues
What should be done and who should do it?
Finalizing the Case
After you have composed the first draft of your case study analysis, read through it to check for any gaps or inconsistencies in content or structure: Is your thesis statement clear and direct? Have you provided solid evidence? Is any component from the analysis missing?
When you make the necessary revisions, proofread and edit your analysis before submitting the final draft.
