Cases

Document-based cases, previously included at the end of each chapter, are now presented online, where students can familiarize themselves with each scenario, download and work with related documents, and access assignment questions in a single space.

***We recommend that you use LaunchPad's Dropbox feature to collect student responses to the case assignments. This feature allows students to upload files in any format up to 25 megabytes in size. For instructions on adding the Dropbox to a Unit, see here.
