Case Study Motivations

1. Best way to learn something is to (prepare to) teach it
2. Develop confidence presenting your method/solution/approach
3. Learn tools for transparent collaboration

Do’s and Don’ts

1. Don’t be scared - this is a supportive environment.
2. Do share stories about how you figured it out:
   • other things you tried
   • things that didn’t work
3. Do mention your group mates and any contributions they made (if they did)

2. Remember to clean up your code when you’ve finished!
3. Consider the style guide…
