During the Case studying, we came across some problems and exchange experiences and thought to conquer it together. Some problems we have are:
- The cases we choose. The first class of this course, Mr Woodhead let us choose the cases from the M2 database. At that time we can not understand each cases background. So, when we analyzed it later, we recognized that we chose the cases were from the different places and it difficult for us to make a connection to each other. However, this is a challenge for us to develop the analysis skills from the case study.
- The plan of our case study. Although we chose the case at the beginning of the class, actually, we did not start our studying immediately. We talked about the cases study when we are all free or just said something during our group discussion. So we do not have a well-planed schedules on this.
- Preparation. We are lucky that our case study presentation is after the reading week. It gave us so much time to prepare it. And in fact we have discussed the preparation of each case and the whole part before the reading week. I post some information before to show us the job responsibility on one another in our group. We did well I think, except some members forgot to post his/her parts on the Blogger.
- Presentation. After we finished our own parts of the case analysis. We put it together into the PPT. And giving the presentation in virtual environment some times in the discussion room. When we gave the presentation on Thursday, we really get ready. But we have some technology problems before our presentation, and thank you very much to Mr. Woodhead for us to handle it in time. We gave the presentation one by one. And I presented the comparison part. I spent a lot time on that. In the class, Natalie asked us the question about the efficiency of the framework. At first, I did not understand what her meaning. But through that I found there was something important thing I forgot to post on the PPT. So I explained directly which Mr. Woodhead thought it's great. After the class, I asked Natalie the specific question meaning. And I have talked some points of mine with her.
Anyway, this is a very good experience and process for us to work, discuss and present together as a group. We think we really learn something from the case study.
Through this group work, I can understand the case better, also I have learnt how to do the case study. But I think if Peter can give us some suggestions or some guid before we do the case study, if would be much better.
