Human Resource Case Review Assignments
Guidelines for Group Human Resource Case Review Assignments
- Required: A list of participating and non-participating student names. Each group spokesperson shall
submit for their group. Only one submission per group permitted.
- Required: Complete detailed answers addressing each of the following questions using proper English
and proper APA Style for citations and references.
2.1.1 What are the ethical, legal and human resource issues in this case?
2.1.2 What management and/or HR mistakes were made in this case?
2.1.3 What steps can be taken within this organization to remedy these mistakes?
- Required: Formatting of submissions:
3.1.1 The question(s) must be repeated in full;
3.1.2 Followed by the group’s narrative response which must include substantively used sources as
well as proper APA Style cited and referenced sources; and
3.1.3 The references used in each narrative response to a question shall follow immediately after
the answer and before proceeding to the next question.
- Required: More than two “External Authoritative Sources” are required in addition to the textbook for
maximum points on EACH question.
4.1.1 In addition each paragraph and/or each substantive issue addressed in an answer must have
at least one “External Authoritative Sources” cited (not including the text book).
4.1.2 It is unacceptable to have paragraph(s) and/or substantive narrative on issue(s), with zero
sources cited and then have one paragraph or answer contain all “external authoritative sources”
and the text book.
- Required: Any direct quote in the narrative must include the page or paragraph number in the
citation.
- Required: It is improper to place a citation/source at the end of a paragraph if material from the
source appears before the last sentence in the paragraph.
- Required: It is improper to place a citation in the middle of a sentence. One can lead with the source in
the sentence but cannot use a citation within parenthesis except at the end of the sentence.
- “External Authoritative Sources” for purposes of this course shall mean: books, peer reviewed journal
articles, education and government sites as well as non-partisan national or international organizations (such
as WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS etc) provided, the foregoing source/material selected has in text citations and
references to support statements made therein. Under no circumstances are newspapers including the Wall
Street Journal, blogs (regardless of source), editorials, panel discussions and dot com sites to be used. The
foregoing is not considered authoritative for this course.
- Additional Guidance: I urge student to review the adobe connect session with FIU Libraries and Writing
Center on APA Style formatting and contact them personally if more assistance is needed.
- Proper Submission Required: The assignment must be posted in the appropriate Assignment Folder.
