Explanation
Case study method studies a phenomenon, event, situation or development through thorough, detailed and intensive analysis of a single unit.
Studying it in a simplified and shallow manner is the opposite of the case study approach.
Depending on analysis of responses collected through data describes survey research.
Using common sense to solve practical problems is not the case study method.
