The paper will be graded on the basis of quality and thoroughness of analysis, clarity of ideas, organization of ideas, and grammar and spelling. Since the report will not have any ‘cut and dried’ solution, the grading process necessarily will be subjective. Compelling logic and reasoning in the analysis, the application of correct types of analysis to the situation, and a clear, concise writing style will contribute to a high grade. While the grading may be inherently judgmental, it is not arbitrary.  

The case may include specific issues/questions raised by the author. These may or may not be important considerations in the preparation of your case analysis paper for this course. In either situation, answering such questions should not be confused with the preparation of a written case analysis paper.
