These Case Studies are created to test the student’s ability to reference previous knowledge or resources to find solutions to the cases by using critical thinking. Students may have to do additional research to find the materials they need to correctly answer the cases if they do not recall the information either in this class or from the related textbooks for this course. The cases resemble ‘real-life scenarios” that graduates may encounter. Be thorough in your explanations to questions posed in the Case Studies.
