Honestly, the universe is being too good to us! What are the chances? ^_^ Maybe it's an incentive, try to motivate us to procrastine less in future...? Fate teaching moral lessons, lol.

I appreciate all the tips! I haven't properly looked at...eek, well, anything to do with this unit past the first couple weeks, but since the case is only a small component, I don't think it has to be anything too involved, just a taste of what the topic is about. So even if nobody used theier identities, I think the fact that security was compromised and their personal info stolen is enough.

But if you hear anything at work up til Friday, I'll be happy to hear it! I was bouncy over 10% until I realized- hang on, they're not going to just GIVE it to us, it means they'll be more strict and judge-y.

Although I'm confused- it says:
Do not spend the majority of your essay explaining or introducing your case study. ***WRITE NO MORE THAN ONE PARAGRAPH to outline the case and its relevance to your research report***

...
...

What is a case study? By case study, I am referring to an in-depth, critical analysis and evaluation of a particular case (in this instance, the incident documented in the media report you have chosen). By ‘evaluate’, I mean weighing up the strengths and advantages and weaknesses and disadvantages in each of the arguments advanced in your report.

If we're supposed to evaluate the incident/media report in every paragraph, wouldn't that include explaining the details and how it's relevant to each point? Argh.

Er, not that I expect you to figure out my essay for me! I'm just venting a bit, lol. *squish* Thanks for putting up with me!
