If you do a really common one and you need to BS figures

the thing is, you dont
if ur prepared, u wont have to bs figures

and enigma,
theres a case study up on India on the Bored resources, so check that out
I'd like to send in my case study, but again, i worked hard to perfect it...
All u'd need to do is discuss how globalisation has affected a country, where u'd talk about wat it was like prior to glob. and how it has changed since, in terms of GDP figures, trade and financial flows, deregulations, int'l organisation participation, dist. of Y and wealth, and the negativities of glob. (such as environment?)

yeah well obviously dude you should know your figures, but I am sure that once in your life you have faced a mental block and remember there are a lot of figures you should try to remember for that case study such as dont ask me how many divisions there are in the current account, growth rates, unemployment rates over time, the amount of money spent on a particular infrastructure project, how much more foreign direct investment has increased by over ten years, how much the currency has appreciated in this time, productivity figures, increasing or decreasing gini coefficient.

fuck man that is a lot to remember, hell I will try and most likely be able to remember all of them but still you might get a blank.

It happens to the best of us, well not all of us have the benefit of a photographic memory like you perhaps Minai

well, I suggest not to overload with figures then!
a few good pieces of statistics is good for the case study, like a couple to back up each issue or watever that u raise, but remember u aint writing a "Bulmer" style book!
im not saying I have a photo memory, or that I have never forgetten anything for an essay (i have many times, ie, making up a whole paragraph once coz i completly forgot it), im jus saying, if u are concise enough with the placement of your stats, it should be relatively easy to recall

and Access - if u are confident with it, go with it, ask your teacher where the weakness was with ur assessment, and then work upon improving that area
