Recommendation: Time line – mile stones

The diagram below emphasises the time line structure of this case study. Depicted are the 6 phases of a case study, the hourly estimates for each phase, as well as mile stones.

Start: The students receive all case study materials for their disposal. They are expected to familiarize themselves independently prior to the mandatory introductory session (M1).
Mile stone 1:
introductory session (mandatory)
At the end of phase 1, the students will be informed of the important dates (mile stones) and ways of communication at a mandatory session. This will give students a chance to discuss problems and have questions answered. Following this session the students can start with the problem analysis and planning, according to their own time management.
Mile stone 2:
interim presentation (mandatory session)
Test phases have shown that a mandatory session to present their work sequence diagrams and discuss them with their tutors is meaningful for students after phase 3 (planning). This also helps the tutor to follow students' thought processes more easily. Following the ok by their tutor students can start with the execution, according to their own time management.
Mile stone 3:
Final presentation (mandatory session)
At the final presentation the students will present their work results in a 10 minute presentation to their fellow students followed by a 5 minute discussion.
End End of the case study.
