Case studies make me want to crawl into a corner and cry at why humans made this world so dull and boring.

[norlizabintizakaria]

Very useful - nice to see a UK lecturer getting so many hits too!

It is so great to hear this kind of presentation because of one simple thing: he remembers every article on the screen by heart and can summarize them in short sentences without effort. That shows you how much he reads and how much he has been able to transformed into his own knowledge. This kind of professor is true scholar.

Thanks. Gives clarity. Just was willing for more in-depth explanation about the differences between explanatory and exploratory case studies with maybe some examples. If anyone can point me out to some examples, would very much appreciate it.
