Current Events Paper

Your
research assignment for this class will be to choose a staffing current events
topic to research. There are three parts to the assignment:

PART 1:

The paper
itself (not including the bibliography) should be 4-6, double-spaced pages,
prepared in Word.

The topic
must be directly related to a specific issue covered in the course material or
related to selection or recruitment.

A list of
suggested topics are provided but you may choose another topic PROVIDED YOU GET
APPROVAL NO LATER THAN WEEK 4 OF THE COURSE.

In addition
to usual requirements for academic grammar and format, including use of the APA
6th edition, students will use appropriate terminology and syntax to produce
work rivaling professional quality.

PART 2:

The paper will include an annotated
bibliography with a minimum of 10 books, magazines and/or journal references on
their topic.

At least
half of the sources are to be no more than two years old. Emphasis must be
placed on current events topics that directly the human resource staffing and
recruiting function, so several references used should be dated within the last
18 months.

At least
one reference must provide a theoretical framework to support key points made
in the body of the paper.

Not more
than two academic textbooks will be counted in the total number of references
for credit. In addition to writing style, intellectual rigor will be assessed
by the variety, depth and professional nature of the sources cited (i.e.
professional magazines and journals will score higher than general interest
sources and unsupported Internet items.

YOU WILL
AUTOMATICALLY LOSE ONE LETTER GRADE FOR FAILING TO SUBMIT AN ANNOTATED
BIBLIOGRAPHY.

PART 3:

The cover
of the research paper should include a one page Executive Summary of your
research that will not be included in the page number count for the paper.

The
Executive Summary should assume that you are presenting your work to the CEO of
your company and should be written with that level of professional quality.

The summary
should not just define what your topic is but should clearly state a synopsis
of what you found and your own analysis of the research.

You should
assume that the CEO would not want to read the entire paper and will instead
want a summary of your research along with your recommendations for your
organization based on what you found.

The rubric for Written Assignments is
available in the Course Content area for this assignment.
