How do you do Case-Studies? I have to do them for bussiness class.?

Question

Unfortunately Im in a school program thing for people with bad behavior and so everyone sucks in my class and no one knows what to do.

I dont have bad behavior but I suck at school basically and I ask questions so dumb that they actually have taken it as disrespect which they will not tolerate. (LOL those gay-a*s teachers)

Anyway to the question, my bussiness studies book has Case-Studies in it, the teacher tells us to write the name of the page we got the case studies from. I copied a case study, handed it in, and got a zero for it because I copied it out of the book.

So now Im confused on what to do.

Answer 1

It sounds like you should ask your teacher exactly what you were supposed to do. From this question it sounds like all you had to do was write a page number or page title down on a piece of paper.

Case Studies involve an as-complete-as-possible evaluation of a current situation. for example: How prepared is a hospital for a certain type of emergency? What all can YOU think of that would need to be considered in such a study? or traffic control? where are the usual traffic bottlenecks? and why?

Case Studies usually support a conclusion that leads to a recommendation for a change in a similar case.

here's some links to high level case studies:

Answer 2

First of all, never copy out of a book. EVER. Plagiarism is a valid reason for the school for failing you in that class or kicking you out completely.

Case studies are a method to investigate a medication, service, disease, etc. They do this by sending out advertisements about the type of person they wish to study, and then track what they are studying over a period of time.

For example, a pharmaceutical company wants to see if a new medication has an effect on migraines. They set up commercials for people who have the criteria of being diagnosed with migraines for a minimum of one year. They then set appointments up with the selected individuals for every month, for a year. They take blood samples or other samples that they need and have the people fill out surveys.

The goal is to see if there is a statistically viable proof for their goal or if there is no relation between the subject and what they are investigating.

Answer 3

If you will send me an email through this system (click on my name) and type in exactly what the teacher gave for an assignment, I will try to help. I will respond with a Word document because I can type faster in it and format better. Perhaps we can figure something out if we work on it a bit.

or you can send directly to [e-mail]
