Today: Finish Strong on Case Study I

  1. Check in as a group: what's left in Part B?
  2. Close out any open comments in your Google Doc
  3. Read it through once as a whole: does the DTPA analysis hang together?
  4. Assign final edits and decide who submits before Sunday

We'll be circulating. Ask us anything.

Next Week: Full Case II Begins

New domains:

  • Law & Criminal Justice · Finance & Banking · Journalism & Media
  • Hiring & Employment · Military & Defense · Scientific Research

What should be different this time:

  • Narrow from domain to case in the first two class meetings
  • Find sources about your case, not just your domain
  • Use more than one kind of source
  • Full Case I feedback is the standard for Full Case II

See Schedule → Weeks 7 and 8 on the course site for prep reading.
