*use evidence from the case to diagnose each problem area in turn
Step Three: STATE PROBLEM
*state the major (overall) problem of the case
*state the problem in one sentence
*relate the problem to problem areas in Step Two
Step Four:GENERATE ALTERNATIVES

The length of this typed assignment will vary for each case.Please follow this outline closely.Use the steps as headings in your outline (note there will be some redundancy, but sometimes it is necessary to support the point you are trying to make).
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL ANALYSIS:
Define one problem.Often times there are many problems.Select the major one.Whatâ€s the bottom line?Whatâ€s the “big dealâ€?
In the beginning, read to the case for knowledge and understanding.Skim it!Donâ€t take notes or highlight.Read to get the gist of it.
In rereading the case again (and again), begin by taking notes, underlining, and highlighting.
Try building a time line if the case is extensive.It may help to keep the facts straight.
