Build a Case Study
5. Document input resources
|
To make the case more realistic, it is convenient to include documents similar to those that would be
used by the
people involved in the case. This includes letters, e-mail messages, press releases, balance reports,
epidemic
reports, laboratory results, etc. Anything that the characters involved in the case most likely would
have in their
hands when they make decision. These can be drawn from different sources and rewriten to avoid identification
of real people. If convenient, some Internet links can also be included with supplemental information.
If the
students has to use some source documents, such as laws or census data, it is convenient to include
direct links
to them.
