GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A CASE STUDY
A case study analysis requires you to investigate a problem, examine the
alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using
supporting evidence. Your submission should be no more than 2 pages and
needs to adhere to APA formatting for spacing and citations. Include a
title page, your case study (1-2 pages), and reference page. For guidance
on APA formatting check out this resource:

*Preparing the Case*
Before you begin writing, follow these guidelines to help you prepare and
understand the case study:
1. *Read and examine the case thoroughly*
- Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
2. *Focus your analysis*
- Identify two to three key problems
- Why do they exist?
- How do they impact the information security field?
- Who is responsible for them?
3. *Uncover possible solutions*
- Review course readings, discussions, outside research, and your
experience.
4. *Select the best solution*
- Consider strong supporting evidence, pros, and cons: is this
solution realistic?
*Drafting the Case*
Once you have gathered the necessary information, a draft of your analysis
should include these sections:
1. *Introduction*
- Identify the key problems and issues in the case study.
- Formulate and include a thesis statement, summarizing the outcome
of your analysis in 1–2 sentences.
2. *Background*
- Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the most
important issues.
3. *Alternatives*
- Outline possible alternatives (not necessarily all of them)
- Why are alternatives not possible at this time (if not possible)?
4. *Proposed Solution*
- Provide one specific and realistic solution
- Explain why this solution was chosen
- Support this solution with solid evidence
5. *Recommendations*
- Determine and discuss specific strategies for accomplishing the
proposed solution.
- If applicable, recommend further action to resolve some of the
issues
- What should be done and who should do it?
*Finalizing the Case*
After you have composed the first draft of your case study analysis, read
through it to check for any gaps or inconsistencies in content or
structure: Is your thesis statement clear and direct? Have you provided
solid evidence? Is any component from the analysis missing?
When you make the necessary revisions, proofread and edit your analysis
before submitting the final draft.
