TESU BSBA Capstone - Case Study

[tobyisking]

I have been waiting to submit my second case study assignment as I was waiting for feedback from the first one in order to know if I needed to make any adjustments to my approach. It's been 10 days since I submitted the first case study and no feedback yet. My class is full though so I suspect our course mentor is probably just having a hard time keeping up.

The second is due tomorrow, so I just bit the bullet and submitted that one as well.

Have any of you received feedback on your case study 1 as yet? If so, please share any details that might help with the rest of us (and future students).

I took the BSBA capstone this past summer, my professor was also quite slow on grading as well, and I had to my submit my second case study without knowing my feedback for the first. I would copy and paste the case study questions onto my word document and work on answering them first, usually for each question my answer was two was 2-3 paragraphs long. After that I would remove the questions from my paper and write an opening and closing. My opening was generally just some general background of the company that the case study was on, and the closing was a general synopsis on whether I thought the company was or was not a good example of whatever it was we learning that week.

I received all A's on my case studies. In my experience the professor I had seemed to grade heavily on whether you met the word count, used references from the textbook, and you made sure to cite everything properly.

I have been keeping the questions in there as a heading and didn't add an opening or closing, so that is the kind of feedback I'm looking for.

When I asked the mentor directly about it early on, he indicated that he expects them to basically be in a Q&A style, not essay format, but didn't offer any further detail to expand on what that means. He promised to upload examples but hasn't done so as yet. He seemed to indicate that grading is more about whether the analysis meets the requirements, is fully developed and cohesive, and properly researched. The rest is detailed in the rubric.

I guess we'll see how that goes. I'm putting the finishing touches on Case Study 3 now, so hopefully I receive feedback on Case 1 (and hopefully 2) before I need to turn in 3.

Out of curiosity, which professor/mentor did you have?

I had Lawrence Ness.  I wish you the best of luck on the rest of your course!
