Getting the Most from Case Studies

Case studies are real or fictional stories used to illustrate social science concepts. When analyzing a case study:

  • Identify the main problem or question.
  • Look for evidence that supports different points of view.
  • Think about possible solutions and their pros and cons.

This approach helps you apply your knowledge to real-life situations!

Examples

  • Reading about a community project and suggesting ways to improve participation.

  • Examining a historical event to understand its social impact.
