Your essay should be 7-10 pages.

How effective is studying and discussing hypothetical dilemmas (i.e., studying cases) in preparing you for the pressures of actual dilemmas in the workplace?

3. Step Three: Ask questions. What more can you learn about the professor’s expectations as a reader by asking directly?
4. Step Four: Ask yourself what you know about the professor and about the discipline.
