Apply the model-discuss all of the components…
If it is easier, present a case study to apply the model
to….
• The case study details CAN NOT count towards the
length of your paper (for example, if you decide to
provide a case study, it can not count as one page of your
overall paper…the case study should be no more than a
paragraph or two. You still must answer all of the
questions on the project!)
