Assignment

Part 1: Choose a topic

Paper Topic: Recruiting

Write a one-page overview of your Final Paper topic that focuses on a human resource practice or issue. The paragraph should describe the topic and why it is important to human resource management. Your topic should be focused on a specific aspect or application of a human resource practice. For example, training and development are much too broad of a topic. An example of an acceptable training and development topic is the effectiveness of e-learning. Support your topic paper with at least 2 supporting references from empirical studies. A cover page is required

Part 2: Outline and Annotated References List

1. An outline containing your proposed section headings for your final project and a brief, cited description under each heading summarizing what that heading's section will contain.

· The outline describes your proposed plan for your final project and should demonstrate that the plan is evidenced-based and well supported.

· The outline should contain succinct descriptions summarizing the proposed content for each section so that your instructor can ascertain the intended flow of your final paper.

· The outline needs to include in-text citations for all references from your references list. Do not include references in your annotated references list that are not also synthesized and cited in-text in the body of the outline.

· An annotated references list of at least 5-7 resources for your paper. An annotated references list includes correct APA citations of resources, as well as a brief summary following each reference citation in the list describing each article and how it will be used in your final paper.

Outline

When creating your outline, be sure to:

· Clearly explain the plan for your final project and demonstrate that your direction is well supported and evidenced-based.

· Create headings and subheadings that indicate the sections of your paper.

o These should clearly spell out the direction and flow of your entire paper.

o You need a minimum of five sections with headings, including the references section.

· Describe the type of information and general direction for each section underneath the heading or subheading.

o This description must be evidence-based, and so must include in-text citations.

· Cite peer-reviewed journal articles that support your approach for your plan. Be sure to use correct APA formatting for the in-text citations.

Annotated References List

When creating your annotated references list, be sure to:

· Include a minimum of 5-7 peer-reviewed journal articles.

o These articles need to be representative of your literature search to date.

o This will not be your comprehensive references list. You will add to it as you continue to develop your final paper.

o Again, any reference present in the annotated reference list must be present in the outline.

· Create an annotation that:

o Summarizes the article.

o Justifies how the reference supports your paper's topic.

Submission Requirements

· Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.

· APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.

· Length: 2-4 double-spaced, typed pages.
