Case study: case: a bounded system in multiple forms of data collection, types of case studies: Researcher focuses on an issue or concern, and then selects one bounded case to illustrate this issue (eg campus response to a student gunman" asmussen & creswell, 1995) Case is of secondary interest: plays a supportive role & facilitates our understanding of something else: collective case study: Also called multiple case study instrumental study extended to several cases.
