Guidelines for Individual Human Resource Case Review Assignments

a) Submission/Proof of Submission to FIU Writing Center Required for the first of

these Assignments & Recommended for the rest. Each student shall submit their

proposed assignment submission, either in person or online, to FIU Writing Center for

their input. Failure to do so will result in a loss of 10% of the score for the assignment

(which amounts to a 1.1 point deduction). Proof of submission must accompany the

assignment submission.

It is recommended that students find out the amount of time, generally, the FIU writing

center will need to review the assignments. Thereafter, each student should schedule

an appointment, accordingly, to have their assignment reviewed by the center’s staff.

Students should provide the writing center with a copy of these assignment guidelines

as well as the due date.

Information on submitting the required verification: If visiting the writing center in

person, students should have their assignment stamped by the writing center staff, then

scan and submit as an attachment, along with the final draft, in the designated

assignment page or discussion board. Students also have the option of meeting with a

tutor from the writing center virtually by scheduling an appointment

(https://writingcenter.fiu.edu/resources/online-tutoring/) online. In the event that a

student opts for a virtual meeting, it is imperative that he/she obtains written

confirmation of the review which the student will then need to scan and submit along

with the assignment. For additional information on obtaining the required verification

from the writing center, please email the department at [email protected].

b) Each student is required to submit 2 (two) Individual Human Resource Case Study assignments during this term on the due dates set forth in the course schedule and on

Canvas.

c) Each student will post an APA Style narrative with link(s) to ACHE policy(ies) and other “External Authoritative Sources” identifying ethical issues and providing

possible industry recognized solutions to address the issues. Each issue, question,

paragraph and sentence with a statistic, number or direct quote is required to contain at

least one “External Authoritative Source”. The narrative assignment has a 300-word

maximum and citations, and reference, which are not included in the maximum word

count. The required course textbook does not count as an external source/reference.

d) Each question must be repeated followed by your narrative answer including properly cited sources and the references used in the answer.

Questions:

1. What are the ethics issues in this case?

2. What management mistakes were made in this case?

3. Who are the key stakeholders in this case?

4. What steps can be taken within this organization to remedy these mistakes?

e) At least one (1) “External Authoritative Sources” in addition to the textbook are required for maximum points on EACH assignment.

f) Required Sources: A source cannot be referenced unless it was cited in the narrative answer

g) Formatting: The textbook from which the case study was published and the course text book must be cited just like any other source. It is not permissible to write "In the

text book... or In the case study…"

h) Formatting: Any direct quote in the narrative must include the page or paragraph number in the citation

i) Formatting: 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.

j) Formatting: 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.

k) “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. Newspapers including the Wall Street Journal,

blogs regardless of source, editorial, panel discussions and dot com sites are not

considered authoritative for this course.

l) 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.

m) Proper Submission Required: The assignment must be posted in the appropriate Assignment Folder.

Posting and sharing completed work on third party websites:

As a student at Florida International University Health Services Administration (HSA) program,

you work hard to accomplish your educational goal/degree. Therefore, it is critical that you protect

the integrity of your work. The HSA department strongly discourages the posting and sharing of

your work including but not limited to, assignments, discussions, papers, quizzes and test answers.

This includes indirectly sharing your work by posting it to a third party website, learning platform

database such as Course Hero, StudyMode, or any other external database outside of the

blackboard course. If you share your original work to any of these third party sites it is an automatic

disqualification from any publication opportunities to medical or educational journals. The HSA

department prohibits use of material from any of the forgoing sites in student submissions. Turnitin

will identify such use as plagiarism and will result in a zero grade.

In addition, unless explicitly stated otherwise, all course materials are the property of FIU, faculty

and their respective copyright holders. The sharing or redistribution of any course materials to

third parties is strictly prohibited.

The above actions violate Florida International University’s Academic Integrity, the Student

Conduct policies and the Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing and Health Sciences policies of

Academic Misconduct. Students who are found in violation of these policies will be dismissed

from the degree program and or University.
