1.The goal in screening potential cases for your case study is to be sure you identify the final cases properly prior to formal data collection. In the two-phased approach the first phase should consist of collecting relevant quantitative data about the entire pool, then define some relevant criteria for stratifying or reducing the number of candidates, the second phase is like the steps taken in the one-phased approach. Screen the candidates by way of querying people knowledgeable about each candidate and even collect limited documentation

about each. Then,

A. create rules about your data sources, set-up a matrix, and select the candidate that meets the most rules.

B. define a set of operational criteria whereby candidates will be deemed qualified to serve as cases and narrow down from there.

C. develop an extensive screening procedure sometimes called a mini-case to determine the best candidate

D. define the most streamlined data collection methodology and chose the case that fits that model

2. In the DMAIC Process, this phase involves solution development, generate as many ideas as possible, chose and implement the best solution.

A. Improve

B. Control

C.Measure

D. Analyze

3. Case studies are crucial when conducting evaluations in the following different

applications except:

A. describe an intervention and the real-world context in which it occurred

B. explain presumed causal links to real-world interventions

C. enlighten those situations where the intervention being evaluated has no clear. single set of outcomes

D. demonstrate broad goals or an intervention

4. While single- and multiple-case designs are considered to be variants within the

same methodological framework, the analytical benefits of having or more case

may be substantial leaning researchers if possible, to choose multiple-case

designs. However, a very good case can be made for the single-case design if it

meets the following 5 rationales, being

1. critical, unusual, uncommon, revelatory, or longitudinal
2. critical. unusual. uncommon. unmeaningful. or longitudinal
3. critical. unusual common. revelatory. or longitudinal
4. critical, unusual, common, unmeaningful, or latitudinal

5. When deliberating on whether to use the real or anonymous case identities:

1. it is most desirable to disclose both. but it is not relevant whether you use the informant's names (they did sign the non-disclosure and do no harm documents)
2. it is most desirable to disclose both, but if the case is controversial or the final report may affect the subsequent actions of those studied. consider anonymity
3. It is most desirable to disguise the participants because that data can be presented passionately regardless
4. it is most desirable to disguise the participants because most case studies are trying to portray an 'ideal type'

6. In defining your research questions, it is important to understand the research

questions should have both;

1. substance and form
2. form and reliability
3. substance and accuracy
4. statistics and form

7. A strength of Direct Observations is

A. target and focused

B. insightful into cultural features

C. precise and usually quantitative

D. contextual to cover the case's context

8. The second of four general strategies of analyzing case study evidence is:

A. working your data from the ground up - which looks a lot like grounded theory

B. working your data from the ground up - which is a lot like relying on theoretical propositions

C. developing a case description - similar to organizing to a descriptive framework

D. examining plausible rival explanations - which unfortunately doesn't work with the remaining strategies
