Reporting the Results of Your Case Study

Here are the requirements in giving the results of your case study:

I. Interviews

* Everyone should have interviewed two people each
* Have each person you interview sign the paper

II. Questionnaire

* Your group should have given out around 35+ questionnaires

III. Poster
* The following information should be on your poster

  A. The hypothesis of your case study - what did you seek to find out?

   B. The results of your questionnaire and how it proved/disproved your hypothesis
         - Use your questionnaires to find PERCENTAGES and STATISTICS (do some math!)
         - example: We found that 45% of religious people interviewed agreed that the American Dream is
                           based on success and money.
 
   C. The results of your interviews and how it proved/disproved your hypothesis
         - What did your interviews tell you about your hypothesis?
         - These should be more in depth answers than the questionnaires were

   D. Future Study
        - Discuss possible future study that could be done for your hypothesis
        - What do you wish you could have done if possible? etc.

 

Case Study for American Dream

While we are reading the novel this week for homework, we will be working on a case study on marriage in class. The purpose of this project is to hypothesize and investigate. We want to discover something about the American Dream in today's society through interviews and research. Here are the requirements for this group project:

1. Case Study Report (example in Dropbox)
    A. It's up to your group who writes what part in the report.
    B. In section 3.0 Research Background, everyone needs to write one section each (needs an
        authentic source)

2. Interviews
    A. Everyone in your group should interview two people each
    B. Come up with interview questions as a group
    C. Interview RELEVANT people for your case study (no one in our class)

3. Questionnaire
    A. At least 30 people

4. Poster
    A. Present your findings to the class
         * summarize your case study report: what were you trying to find out about the AD?
         * what did you find out about your hypothesis through your interviews/questionnaire?
