The knowledge you have gained from the theoretical papers for MEDS 001 through MEDS 003 may be useful in helping you comprehend the fundamental ideas, workings, dynamics, challenges, and concerns of programs for development and extension. It is appropriate that you familiarize yourself with field-level extension and development activities, issues, and programs after studying the fundamentals of the subject. For the majority of you, Project Work-I will be a novel experience designed to support your learning by doing approach. Even if you might have some difficulties learning at a distance, this study guide will nevertheless enable you to gain knowledge and understanding, as well as the ability to analyze extension and development challenge programs using a case study methodology. Consequently, “MEDSP 004: Handbook on Project Work” has been produced to provide you with an introduction to the case study method concept. This guide will serve as your instruction manual, demonstrating how to create a project proposal, carry out a case study, and produce a project report.
