Assignment Structure for Each Unit Part Required Header (centered and bold in your assignment) Units Part 1 Introduction Introduce topic and main points. U1 to U7 Part 1 Law or Legal Principle Identify the law or legal principle involved. This can be done in three or fewer sentences. U1 to U7 Part 1 Case Summary Summarize the case. This can be done in one or two short paragraphs. U1 to U7 Part 1 Explain Key Facts Highlight key facts that are related to the practice of HR. Identify a few (3 to 5) key facts from the case that are directly and specifically related to the practice of HR. Explain why the key facts you selected are important to the practice of HR. This can be done in one or two short paragraphs. U3 to U7 Part 1 That Which Is Obvious List three to five (3 to 5) or more obvious implications or possible recommendations. These help you clear distractions so you can focus on Part 2. U1 to U7 Part 2 Direct Impact on HR List at least five (5) ways this case or legal principle might directly impact the practice of HR. U3 to U7 Part 2 Most Important Implication for HR Using the items that directly impact HR you identified, determine which is the most important right now for the practice of HR. Explain why. U2 to U7 Part 2 Specific HR Recommendation Make a specific (SMART) recommendation to the CHRO that is directly related to the practice of HR and U1 to U7 3 Part Required Header (centered and bold in your assignment) Units addresses avoidance of the situation or event in the future. The recommendation must be actionable, must be explained, and must be supported with evidence from your readings and research. Part 2 Secondary Recommendations This is completely optional. If there are additional recommendations you are motivated to share, include them in a separate section. Optional for all Units Part 2 Conclusion The purpose of your conclusion is to summaries the main points of your assignment. U1 to U7 References Include properly formatted references that are connected to appropriate and properly formatted in-text citations. U1 to U7 Do not combine sections. Read the Assignment Guide which has detailed explanations for each of the required sections of the report. Your specific recommendation must do more than tell us what we already know. The items noted below are the types of things you will identify for the section of your report titled That Which Is Obvious. Avoid making recommendations such as the following: Know there is an applicable law Understand the law Follow the law Be trained in the law Have policies and procedures that adhere to the law Not violate the law While these are all important, we did not learn them from the current case. We knew them before the case took place. Of course, you need to know the items listed above in order to make appropriate, specific, and actionable recommendations. (Keep in mind generic statements, broad ideas, unsupported personal opinions, merely repeating what is in this assignment description, and repeating versions of what we knew before the case do not satisfy the assignment requirements.) This assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the law or legal principles based on the case or event reviewed as it relates to the practice of HR. This assignment is also your opportunity to demonstrate your critical thinking and analytical skills by using the case or event as a catalyst to explore how HR practices can be improved. The goal of this assignment is not to do as much writing as possible but to do as much focused and thoughtful idea-sharing as possible. Make sure you use evidence and support, as appropriate, for each section of your response. Requirements Use the Assignment Guide resource, which is in the Course Room. Submit your assignment as a business report for the CHRO in the text box of the designated Assignment Forum. Strict APA format is not required for assignment forum submissions. However, all sources must be accounted for using citations and references. Support your report with appropriate resources (text, readings, research, etc.) using citations and references. Valid references other than the textbook require the following: a) must be a valid source (for example, random websites and sources like Wikipedia, LinkedIn, or Indeed are not valid sources); b) must include a link to the source (without a link, the entry will not count as a valid source); and, c) there must be both an in-text citation and an entry in the reference list to count as a valid source. Links and entries listed at the end of the assignment for which there is no evidence of use do not count as valid sources. Use the required sections for your report. The required sections differ in each Unit. Use the Assignment Structure shared above, which is also included in the detailed Assignment Guide. Review at least one classmate's posting after posting your submission to the assignment forum. Use the RISE model of peer feedback to give feedback helpful when finalizing the final project later in the semester.
