Assignment Expectations

Your paper should demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of the relevant issues and HRM actions, drawing upon all of the required background readings and any relevant sources from your prior courses and your own library and Internet research (reputable websites).

Prepare a paper that is professionally presented (including a cover page, a “List of References,” and a strong introduction and conclusion). Proofread your paper carefully for grammar, spelling and word-usage errors.

Address all aspects of the assignment as stated above.

Limit your Internet searching and focus instead on library searches and be sure to bring in information from the background readings.

Give authors credit for their work. Cite sources of borrowed information in the body of your text as footnotes, numbered end notes or APA style of referencing.

See “The Trident Guide to the Well-Written Paper” (instruction on writing papers, citing sources, proper referencing, and so forth).
