Best Practices

  • Avoid any type of plagiarism. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to make sure all quotes, ideas, or conclusions not your own are given proper acknowledgment in your text.
  • Plagiarism in its purest form involves copying passages either verbatim or nearly verbatim, with no direct acknowledgment of the source.
  • Paraphrasing does not relieve you of the obligation to provide proper identification of source data.
  • All references must be cited in two places: within the body of your paper and on a separate reference list. Choose references judiciously and cite them accurately.
  • Use the APA style guide.
  • Please do not select the same topics that you used to create the previous two assignments for this course.
  • Take the perspective of an HR business partner when writing this assignment.
  • Be sure to proofread your work.
  • Take a research approach to writing this paper, but have practical recommendations.
  • Structure the paper using the grading rubric categories: Approach, Focus, and so on.

Sample Topics (I have highlighted three topics that interest me. You can choose whatever you want. I will be trying to use the same writer to complete the actual project, so choose something you could write 12-15 pages(excluding appendices)about easily.)

A list of example topics for course papers is provided below to provide some ideas. However, these are examples only. Please feel free to consider other staffing-related topics that are of interest to you.
