This paper emphasizes the importance of case study research, especially student-authored
case studies. Guiding students to write publishable case studies not only benefits students, but may
also permit a unique type of assessment of learning. We present the characteristics of publishable
case studies and their instructor manuals. Then we explain how learning and assessment can be
aligned with the development of these characteristics. Finally, we provide examples of course
assignments that can lead to publishable student-authored case studies.
Keywords: case research, case studies, students, publishable cases, assessment.
