BUSI530 Week 6 Dropbos Assignment 2

  

For this assignment, you are to select one of the four cases listed below dealing with employment discrimination based on age and religion. Prepare a paper in which you discuss the facts of the case, the relevant provisions of the statute, and how the court interpreted and applied the provisions of the statute to the issues presented in the selected case.

Age Discrimination (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) Cases 

Religious Discrimination (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964)  Cases

Your paper should begin with a discussion of the essential facts of the case, including a brief summary of the lower court decision(s) which gave rise to the appeal. Your discussion of the facts should be followed by a detailed analysis of the case. Your analysis should indicate what legal issues are presented in the case – in other words, what issues is the Court attempting to address and resolve? Some cases might have only a single issue, while others may have more than one. After you have described the facts and identified the legal issues presented, you should identify the relevant provisions of the law that the Court is interpreting in the case. In other words, what is the rule of law that governs the Court’s analysis of the case? Finally, you should summarize the Court’s decision, or holding, in the case, and discuss how the Court reached its decision. You should also consider and discuss the practical implications of the Court’s decision for both the employer and the employee.

Your assignment should be in the form of an paper analyzing and discussing a case or set of facts pertaining to one or more areas of employment law.

  • Your      paper should be from 6-8 pages in length, in Word format, and should be      double-spaced using a 12-point Times New Roman or similar business font.

Competency

Draft a paper that answers the research question based on findings.

Scenario

You are a first-year graduate student. You are taking a graduate course on research and writing. In this assignment, your professor has asked you to write the introduction section of a research paper for a research question/problem in which you are interested.

Instructions

Write the introduction section of a research paper for your professor. This section should:

  • Clearly identify the research question/problem.
  • Pique the reader’s interest in your research paper.
  • Analyze why the research question/problem is important by reviewing studies that have addressed the question/problem. Summarize groups of studies, not necessarily individual ones. The studies that you cite should be recent, published in the last 5-10 years. Older studies may be cited if they have been widely referenced by others.
  • Evaluate the deficiencies/gaps in the studies.
  • Explain how your research paper will address the deficiencies/gaps of past studies and how it will contribute to the scholarly research.
  • Explain what you expect to find by performing research on this question.
  • What benefits will the findings have and on whom?
  • Establish the purpose and the thesis of your research paper.

HRM 671 Learning theories and Technology

  IN 300 WORDS

The Law of Diminishing Returns says that continuous practice creates continuous improvement, even though improvements may be in smaller and smaller increments. If this is true, should anyone receive a grade of 100% on a test, paper, or demonstration of skill? Obviously, with Diminishing Returns, none of us ever gets it perfect. Are such scores counterproductive in that they create a sense of “being done” or “right” that stops our learners for continuing to practice? Should we eliminate tests and scores because they are artificial and deter continuous development? Take a position and write a two to three paragraph position statement. Support your opinions by referencing sources such as the textbook or internet research. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

Research based position paper

 

Prepare an 8 page APA style paper using the resources you have read in this course and at least 3 additional peer reviewed resources. Follow the writing requirements for this course. Include an introduction and conclusion in the paper. Remember to use APA formatted headings for each section of the paper and provided in text citations of the sources you use. This paper should address the following questions:

(1) Does Blockchain technology have the potential to cause the paradigm shift in business practices that many experts are predicting? Explain why or why not.  Support your answer with research.

(2) Is there evidence to suggest that Blockchain technology will change the way HR is practiced? If there is, discuss that evidence. If there is not, what issues exist that impede its adoption?

(3) Which functions of human resource management could be most impacted by Blockchain technology? How might the HR functions change? Support your answer with research.

Course writing requirements:

  • References MUST be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.
  • Always include a cover page and reference page with ALL submissions (even initial discussion posts)
  • Provide the EXACT web link on the reference page citations for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the EXACT LINK – I check all sources
  • No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
  • Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)
  • Write MORE than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned
  • As always, the word count is ONLY for the BODY of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper
  • Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces
  • Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.
  • Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.

USE AND ROLE OF HEALTH CARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

 

Over the past several decades, health care and information technology have undergone a period of dramatic change caused by a multitude of pressures and opportunities, many of which continue to persist and evolve. More recently, we have started to leverage the power of health care information technology to improve patient outcomes and to better engage patients in taking ownership of the health care processes. In addition, we have started to see a shift in health care reimbursement tied more toward patient outcomes than that of services actually rendered.

Case Assignment

Read and review the assigned reading for this module to familiarize yourself with health care information systems and how they are used to improve patient outcomes (health outcomes). In addition, conduct some additional research on how health care systems are used to improve patient care. Write a 2- to 4-page paper (excluding title page and reference page) discussing how health care systems are used to improve patient care. Make sure to describe how health care information systems and applications can help improve patient outcomes and provide examples. Include reference to literature, expert opinion, and case examples from your research involving various health care disciplines to support your position, key points, and explanations.

Assignment Expectations

  1. A 2- to 4-page, double-spaced paper discussing how health care information systems can improve patient outcomes. The length does not include the title page and reference page.
  2. A well-formulated introduction and conclusion that support the paper.
  3. A title page and supporting reference page.
  4. Your references and citations should be consistent with a particular formatting style, such as APA.
  5. Provide references from at least 3 scholarly articles (peer-reviewed). Do not include information from non-scholarly materials such as wikis, encyclopedias, or www.freearticles.com (or similar websites). Use the following link for additional information on how to recognize peer-reviewed journals: http://www.angelo.edu/services/library/handouts/peerrev.php.
  6. For additional information on reliability of sources, review the following source:
    Georgetown University Library. (n.d.). Evaluating internet resources. Retrieved from https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/research-guides/evaluating-internet-content
  7. Your response should incorporate the outcomes of the module with the requirements of this assignment and will be graded according to the rubric.
