What is a caseWhat is a case

‘‘Cases represent a particular type of storytelling…

They are intended primarily as teaching tools to provide students a realistic look at their world and an opportunity to practice their skills in an environment with few consequences. They should also be based on concrete facts, rather than imagination.”

Naumes, W., & Naumes, M. J. (2006: xxiii).
