Sample Timing for Core Cases

The timings and number of days will vary as it depends on how long you think your case will take to unfold.

As you are developing your cases, focus on the incorporation of sub-themes into them and work with theme faculty to create a cohesive case.

The example below is just that – an example. Timing may differ depending on content and strategy. As you are delivering your core case, it is a good idea to keep track of how long each part of your session takes to unfold. If an instructional designer or other person is observing your delivery, you can ask them to pay attention to timing and they can then report back to you with more accurate timing you can use for the next time you deliver it. For the column with estimated timing, note that it is not actual time such as 1 pm on a clock, but elapsed time during the session.
