Dear PD2 Students - Answer Question 2.4.6 Pfizer (p.189) using the CTs, CLs and SWs method. Here is the quick overview: COURSE THEORIES---CASE LINK---SO WHAT? Or as I normally write it. CT´s, CL´s and SW´s You don´t need to worry too much about the order here. The main thing is that you include a lot of these 3 things, over and over again as you answer the question. Course Theory [or Concepts] Courses theories basically mean key words [or concepts] from the course. Find a keyword [or concept] from the course which relates to the question somehow. Use it in a sentence. If you can use two keywords from the course (or more) in this sentence, that even better. Case Link A case link is connecting the theory to what´s actually going on in the case. Most people struggle with this part. Students do read the case, but then they forget to use it in their answer . They think it´s all about the key words [or concepts]. But actually these connections are hugely valuable.
