COHORT GROUP - Case Problem Instructions

We have asked members of the study group to select one of these case studies to present in an upcoming web conference. Here are the assignments for Case Problem presentations. The Case Problems are VERY important to your success passing the APR Examination. It is advisable to complete one case, before doing your Readiness Review.

Be sure to review the 10-Step Components of a Public Relations Plan and the Four-Step Planning Process, then review the case problems. You can pick one case, and develop a short presentation in PowerPoint. You may also submit a scenario that you have observed or experienced, if it illustrates the process of creating a professional public relations response. We will deliver the presentation in our Web Conference for discussion by the entire group. Select one of the problems below:
