Case Study Tips § Don’t overload yourself – you only need a couple for each topic. § Don’t be scared of using one that you haven’t covered in class, if you understand the detail better. § Revision guides might use different case studies to those covered in class – make sure you know these in detail. § Some case studies can be very topical – events are happening all the time.
Revision Tips Using Case Studies Before you produce a case study you need to think about the information that is required. Headings for human case studies may include: Ø Who? Ø What? Ø Where? Ø When? Ø Why? Different case studies will require different headings.
Revision Tips Using Case Studies § § Producing a case study using a common format from your notes is revision in itself. Once the format is filled in, use it to revise from in the following ways: Ø Pin the case study on your wall. Replace the case study every couple of days Ø Try to recreate your case study from memory. Ø Give the case study to a family member/friend ask them to test you.
Revision Tips Using Case Studies § Alternatively, especially when using so many case studies, try using the following: Ø Mind Maps; Ø Annotated Photo’s, Map’s or Field Sketches; Ø Flash Cards.
Examiner Tips for Using Case Studies § When answering questions using information from a case study follow these rules: Ø Always refer to the case study directly (by name/location/event). Ø Continue to write specifically about that case study in your answer – don’t write about a generalised event but repeatedly write about the named case study. Ø Some questions ask you to “use one example or more” – it is best to write about one case study really well rather than write a little about lots of case studies. Ø All case study questions will be levelled and therefore require a good standard of writing rather than ‘bits’ of information.
