A case study is a detailed analysis of a specific single individual, company, or situation. The research aims to reasonably analyse each element of an individual's life and circumstances to find connections and intentions for conduct. Case studies are applicable in various spheres such as political science, education, anthropology, medicine, psychology etc.
Students are generally required to identify difficulties and challenges in a situation, exhibit their evolving understanding of theories and professional policies, and make decisions and suggestions based on these to either prevent or fix some of the issues in the situation or scenario in case study assignments.
