Case study analysis report What is it? The purpose of a case study is to apply the concepts and theories you have learnt about to a real life situation or scenario. A case study requires you to identify and research problems and issues and make recommendations for solutions. How do I write it? You are being asked to define and describe a) the identification of lesion and b) difference in treatment options for both a malignant and non-malignant skin cancer. You will need to provide references of studies incorporated into your case study. When discussing previous studies, you need to summarise the research findings, compare and contrast them, and evaluate the quality of the research by identifying the strengths and weaknesses. At this level, try not to simply describe. You need to evaluate and make judgements. For example, it is not enough to merely describe the different treatment options. You need to tell us why they are valid options (or not), based on the research. To be more analytical and critical, each time you make a point, ask yourself: Why is this important? What does this lead to? What are the consequences if this isnt done correctly? Dont forget in a case study you are working towards solutions and recommendations, and these need to be clearly stated in your conclusion. As this case study is in the form of a report, it should be organised into sections with headings. The headings should be based on your assessment question. Step 1: Highlight the key words in the assessment question. Step 2: Divide 3000 words into how many paragraphs you will need (approx. 15 paragraphs, so 13 body paragraphs plus introduction and conclusion). Please note: You cannot give personal opinions in this assessment, or use language such as I think or I feel Your information needs to come from reliable academic sources and be referenced correctly. You will need approx. 15 references for a 3000 word Marking criteria You will find these in your subject outline. These criteria tell you what your grades will be based on, so please read them carefully! Ensure that PRIOR to submitting your assessment, that your assessment addresses each of the grading criteria.
