Case Study 2
Prompt
Manny is a grade 11 student who is struggling in his Introduction to
Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology class. While he enjoys the class
lectures and finds the content interesting, he has consistently struggled to
recall information during his weekly quizzes and has received poor grades
on these assessments. Since Manny is aware of a big unit test coming up
in the next 2 weeks, he seeks help from the teacher, Ms. Clarke.
Ms. Clarke asks about Manny’s notetaking habits and his strategies for
studying. In response, Manny simply replies, “I’ve never really needed to
study in any of my other classes. I was just able to listen really carefully in
class and then remember everything when the tests came around. This is
the only class I’ve ever really struggled to get good grades in.” Manny
explains that he is currently taking Chemistry, Functions and Applications
(mathematics), and a German language course. He also shows Ms. Clarke
his notebook for this specific class, which contains few notes and many
off-topic doodles.
Ms. Clarke is aware that Manny wants to attend university and that
helping him now will be beneficial in his future university courses.
Questions
Please answer the following three questions with a maximum of 1200
words (not including title page and references). All questions are
weighted equally.
1. Besides looking at Manny’s notebook for this specific class, what other
information should Ms. Clarke seek to better understand Manny’s
situation and his abilities? Why would this information be helpful to Ms.
Clarke?
2. What might be happening with Manny’s information processing in this
course compared to other courses where he does not need to study?
3. What learning strategies might Ms. Clarke recommend to Manny to help
him study and do well in her class? Justify the rationale for recommending
each strategy.
Advice for Completing Your Case Study
•
Responses to the questions must be clear and written in a scholarly
way. Grammar and spelling count. Marks will be deducted for
poorly written responses (poor grammar, spelling, and sentence
structure).
•
High quality responses and scholarly writing are essential for
achieving a high grade.
•
Focus on the questions, take time to plan out your answers (hint: a
draft helps) and include only the information necessary to get your
points across.
•
Strong answers involve conciseness and precision.
•
Do not use point form.
•
Please use primary sources to support your arguments. A
minimum of two empirical sources are required. Using only the
textbook and modules as sources is not acceptable on their own.
•
Secondary sources are seen as weak scholarship. A secondary
citation is when you cite the authors of the textbook when
discussing Kohlberg. Kohlberg is the primary source so go to his
work and cite him directly. If you must use a secondary source (i.e.,
can’t find the primary source), then reference it as per APA 7th
edition.
•
Quotations from sources are not recommended. If you do quote
from the textbook, please reference appropriately at the end of
your responses. Keep in mind that quotations from the textbook
are secondary sources and should be cited as such.
•
Text matching software (Turnitin®) will be used to screen case
studies in this course. This is being done to verify that use of all
material and sources in the case studies are documented. Students
will be given an option if they do not want to have their case study
screened by Turnitin®. Details will be provided about arrangements
and alternatives for the use of Turnitin® in this course
