Due in Week 7 – The Final Comprehensive Submission (70 points)

This final piece of the assignment will allow you to combine all of the elements in the training process. While there is no new research that needs to be conducted for this week’s assignment, you should apply feedback from the previous week’s assignments and update your work to present a clean, final draft.  This project should be submitted as a single, cohesive Word document (not multiple files). Use section breaks or page breaks to separate the different elements. You will provide a single reference list (at least 16 sources total.) 

Appendixes will be formatted at the end of the overall document – not the end of the section. You can’t simply cut/paste the different elements from your prior work into a single document and consider it to be complete. There must be unity, flow, and cohesiveness including the use of an Abstract,  Introduction and Conclusion. Finally, be sure that you are using uniform formatting for this document. Check margins, font, etc. prior to submitting. Anticipated length of body of this assignment: 12-16 pages, including title and reference pages, as well as your Appendixes. Include headings and a table of contents.

Sources/Formatting

A note on sources: You will be expected to conduct research outside of our classroom and beyond your own experiences to complete this assignment. For Weeks 2-5, you will be expected to use at least four unique documented sources outside of our classroom (the textbook does not count as an outside source). You are not required to conduct additional research for Week 7 but may add to your list if you’ve found additional sources on your journey. If you do use the textbook, you will need to give credit to this source. While sources may be used from week to week, you will be expected to find at least four new sources for each of the Week 2 through 5 assignments. I would urge you to use the DeVry Online library to seek out scholarly and current journal articles. Additionally, you might seek information from reputable organizations such as the Society for Human Resources Management or interview a Human Resources Professional.

A note on formatting: You will be expected to complete each assignment using APA formatting. This will include the use of appropriate font, margins, section headers, etc. You will be expected to provide a complete APA formatted reference list for each weeks’ assignment. Additionally, per APA you will be expected to give credit to these sources in-text. This project should be written in the third person.
