Coach Michael Andersen recently updated the case analysis guide he shared here in 2023 with several improvements. Inspired by Dr. Sean Riley’s video, tips that stood out to me included step 2: “What kind of case is this?”, the invitation to radically emphasize with stakeholders, and the concentric circles visual. It also links to an updated case summary template.
Coach Michael considers these works in progress. But as far as I’m concerned, they’re more than good enough to begin using immediately, which is a good thing since both the IEB and NHSEB case sets recently went live. If you haven’t reviewed them already, the 2025-2026 IEB regionals case set is here and the NHSEB set here. Some super cool topics this season. More on the cases soon.
Enjoy, thanks coach Michael, and happy Ethics Bowl season kickoff!
This is a great guide!
Thank you, Professor Mike! Coach Michael does a great job and is ultra generous with his study guides.
