Question HRMG 700: Course Topic Paper Guidelines 

Throughout the course, you will be tasked with selecting, researching, and then writing a paper on the
Human Resource Management (HRM) topic of your choice. You are encouraged to select a topic you find
interesting or one that is relevant to your current or future career. I find that it is generally more enjoyable
and thus successful when you focus on research for a topic you personally find interesting and relevant to
you. There are three assignments throughout the seven weeks to help you complete the course topic paper.
They are:

(1) Topic Paper Proposal – Due Week 2
(2) Topic Paper Outline – Due Week 4
(3) Topic Paper – Due Week 6

(1) Topic Proposal
Assignment Points: 75
Assignment Expectations:
For this portion of the assignment, you will draft a proposal for the topic you would like to further
research. The paper will be on a topic of your choice, related to Human Resource Management. As a
suggestion, peruse the text for a topic that is of interest to you, or that you want to more fully understand.
The proposal should be between 1-2 pages, and highlight the reason for the topic selected, as well as the
scope and purpose of the paper. As a minimum, you should use, cite, and reference at least five scholarly
references for the paper. You will receive feedback on you proposal to help you focus in on an
appropriate topic and ensure you are not taking on a focus area that is too broad or narrow in scope before
moving on to the outline stage of the assignment.

Due: Week 2, Day 7

Submission Expectations:
Your submission for this assignment should:
? Be in a MS Word document
? Follow all APA 6th
edition formatting requirements (including cover page and references)
? Demonstrate college level writing (spelling, vocabulary, structure, style, etc.)
Upload your completed proposal paper via the appropriate link available under the Written
Assignments area under the Learning Hub section of the course site.

(2) Topic Paper Outline & Interview
Assignment Points: 90
Assignment Expectations:
For the second portion of this assignment you will be interviewing the HR professional of your choice to
gain a fresh perspective on the topic you have chosen to focus on for the course topic paper then
providing a written summary of that interview along with an outline of your Topic Paper using a full
sentence outline format.

The summary of your interview should provide, at a minimum, detail on the HR professional you
interviewed (who they are, the functional area of HR in which they work), a list of the questions you
asked, and a summary of their answers. You will of course be using data gathered within the interview as
supporting detail for your final Topic Paper due in week six.
The second element due is the full sentence outline. Here, you should demonstrate that progress has been
made on the course project, and that your research is well underway. You should follow APA 6th edition
format guidelines as you construct your outline. Be sure to provide a list of references you have identified
as useful (remember you will need to have a minimum of five for the final paper).
