Order Description appreciate to write in easy, simple and clear word. 1 Master in Human Resources Management Compensation and Contemporary Issues (HRM532) Group Project Fall - B 2015/2016 Instructor: Dr. Hossam Abu Elanain Email Address: [email protected] Phone No. 02-5015744 2 You are required to belong to a group of 4 students for this project. These teams should be formed in the first two weeks of class. The team is expected to work together and each member is expected to make a significant contribution to the project. Each team can pick a project topic in consultation with the instructor and carry out independent research using library resources. A research paper is a scientific paper that addresses a specific topic (within the domain of the course) in some depth and with scientific rigor. Below, you will find some general guidelines on specific aspects that should help you writing such a paper. Finding a topic. The general topic of the paper must be within the domain of compensation and benefits management. The textbook chapters provide a good overview of the specific topics within that domain. However, the topic of the paper should be considerably more specific than the content of the textbook chapters. Evaluation. Your paper is marked on the following criteria: quality of content (choice of topic and sources, whether the review demonstrates understanding and the ability to link different sources and draw inferences), style (clarity of presentation, adherence to guidelines as outlined above), and thoughtfulness (independence and stringency of thoughts expressed, in particular, in the discussion of implications). ???? The research paper should be type written, 1.5 line-spaced, using 12-point size font times new roman, and should not exceed 15 pages (excluding cover page, and references). ???? The cover page should provide the title of the research paper, the complete student name, student ID number, and course code. ???? The research paper should contain the following sections: (1) Abstract; (2) Literature Review; (3) Conclusion; (7) References. ???? APA style must be followed. ???? All reports must have a University cover sheet with all of the appropriate details completed, including names and course details. Cover sheets should be signed by each member, which usually requires advance planning. ???? Reports must be stapled in the top left-hand corner, or bound (where appropriate). 3 This project is an important requirement in this course and is worth 40% of the total grade, as follows: ???? Project Report: 30% ???? Presentation: 10% Final report due: 8th December, 2015 Presentation: 8st December, 2015 Each team will present its research findings to the class. ???? Presentations shall be 30 minutes long. ???? Presentations will be judged by both the instructor and your peers on: clarity (in stating the purpose, methods, and outcomes, etc.), quality of materials used (easy to follow), and style of presentation (engaging vs. boring), etc. ???? There will be a 5-minute question and answer session following each main presentation. This part will also be graded. TIPS ON MAKING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION ???? Understand your material perfectly. Read and re-read the project report. ???? Plan your presentation to suit: ???? The time allocated ???? The audience ???? Do not present everything you know or have. There is not enough time for it. Layout everything on paper and ask: What does the audience need to know? What can I cut? ???? Use slides and handouts to illustrate your presentation. These tools increase clarity and help get more material across within a fixed amount of time. ???? Slides should be simple and clear. Text must be large enough to be seen from the back row. One rule of thumb is that each slide should have no more than 5-7 lines and each line should not have more than 5-7 words. ???? Use charts, graphs where appropriate. A picture can be worth a thousand words. ???? Focus on the following key points: ???? Objective – Define the problem/issue. ???? Provide a brief review of previous studies (or theories) of the problem/issue gleaned from the literature. 4 ???? Describe the methods that were used to research the problem. ???? Discuss the main findings and recommendations. ???? Discuss the implications of your work for practice and theory. ???? Save some materials for the question-and-answer session if you cannot present everything you would like to. If it is relevant, chances are that someone will raise it as an issue.
