You do not need to use them if you do not want, and there is nothing to complete or hand in. Case Studies – Handouts and Slides: Example: Case Study - Handout Example: Case Study - Slide How do I use case studies? In essence, you study as you normally would, then print out the case studies handout and fill in the blanks without looking at any class material. This will show you what you do and don’t know. Next, look at your class materials to see if you are correct. Finally, download the case study slides and select one of the answers for each case, then go to the next slide to see if your answer is correct. Although you do not need to hand them in, I believe they will help you significantly with the exams. A discussion of how to use these study aids is in the video entitled "How to use the online Case Studies" within the "Start Here" section on the homepage. “Discussion questions” are idea starters The discussion questions in each chapter do not need to be completed or handed in. There is no additional credit for discussion postings or replying to a post, however, if someone wants to post a discussion, these can be idea starters and add interest to the class. Exam Review Topics These are below the “Do You Remember?” questions on the home page. They are a list of some of the key topics you will need to study for the exam. How should I study? Look at the course calendar to see what materials need to be covered that week.
