Case Study for Today

Today in our case study period you should have started looking at the Analysis and Description section of the case study.  This should be between 500 and 800 words.

Start by researching how your product works.  You should be able to draw (or find) a system diagram which helps describe the parts of your product and how they work together to produce your output.  Once you have a very general description, and a general system diagram, you should break your system down further to describe it in more detail.  A more detailed system diagram should then be described.

To help you check through this section you may find these questions useful:

• Are all my systems diagrams clear?
• Is there an overall, simple diagram with inputs, outputs and feedback?
• Are all the components clearly identified and analysed in a paragraph after the diagram?
• Has the system been fully analysed and explained?
• Has an evaluation of the technology involved been achieved?

Make sure that you keep a note of all the websites you have used to get information and/or pictures from.  You need to reference these properly at the end of your case study report.
