I'm third-year technical writing student at Mt.Royal College in Calgary.
As part of my second work term I have to complete a case study on some topic
relating to technical writing.
Can anyone direct/send me examples of case studies, ideas for a topic, or a
guide to writing case studies?
Any help would be appreciated!

You need to understand something.
#1, most of us are working our butts off at our jobs (who here is on their
12th hour so far today. raise your hand) and we're just barely able to keep
our heads above water, but we try to help those who help themselves.
#2, what you are asking is so distasteful to us as technical writers. What
you are asking is the same as us going to an overworked sme and saying
"Bill...can my write my crap for me and I'll run a spellchecker and grammar
checker through it...maybe"
I'd suggest that you do your work, come up with the ideas and the content
and we'll discuss it with you as peers
....or is it due tomorrow?
