For each case analysis write-up that you complete, you should answer the corresponding questions in your write-up. However, neither your presentation nor your write-ups should just include a list of the questions and your answers. Instead, you should use the questions and your answers to drive your analysis of the case and the organization of both your presentation and your write-ups. Please note that your write-ups should be 1-2 pages in length (single-spaced) and are due at 12pm on the day the case is to be presented in class.
