Another method of tracking/organizing your research is using an Annotated Bibliography.  An annotated bibliography is one of the most important tools in conducting research. It is a list of sources on a particular topic that includes a brief summary of the article in your own words (not copying the abstract) and the connection that supports your paper. 

Once you have identified your primary or secondary research topic(s), then you will begin to research and complete an Annotated Bibliography. .

You must select, read, and review 5 scholarly articles on your human resource topic(s). The articles must be peer reviewed journal articles from either Welder Library Eresources or Google Scholar.  Articles from dot com’s or dot org websites will not be accepted. 

Provide an annotated bibliography properly formatted in APA that addresses the following for each article.

More information regarding an Annotated Bibliography is located in the module 4 Read and Review section.

An annotated bibliography should avoid first person and be completed using APA format and include:

•  The purpose of the study
•  The findings of the study
• The relevance of the study to the student’s scholarly interests

Write a 3 full-page Total rewards communication plan with resources in APA format. 

You have created a total rewards plan that you intend to implement within MediaRite.com. To do so, you must design a total rewards communication plan to inform your employees of this rewards plan.  It should be viewed as a training/presentation/commercial informing your employees of the relocation opportunities and the total rewards associated with the opportunity. 

In an essay, answer the following questions about the concepts tied to this unit. Your response needs to be at least one page in length.

• To what extent is employment-at-will an issue in discipline cases in nonunion companies?
• To what extent is it an issue in unionized companies?
• Based on your research, what advice do you have for managers?
• What advice do you have for lawmakers (i.e., to what extent should employment-at-will be relevant for employee discipline)?

To begin your discussion, take a few moments and introduce yourself to your peers by providing a brief description of your hobbies, special interests, or other details to help us get to know you. Also, share your Ashford University degree program and your future career goals. You might revisit the goals you set in previous courses.

Additionally, read chapter 1, and answer the six true-false statements on your beliefs about interpersonal communication on page 3. Once you have completed the quiz, consider the following:

• How important is interpersonal communication? We have been communicating with others throughout our lives. We have casual conversations at work or the grocery store, in-depth conversations with friends or family, and interactions that include communication throughout much of our day. How do you use communication skills in your actions with others? Are there ever times when communication goes awry? Does communication just mean your use of words? What other things might be communicated beyond the content of your words? How might your culture, assumptions, or beliefs affect the way in which you communicate? How important would it be to communicate clearly when working in health and human services?
• Reflect- Think about your own beliefs and assumptions about interpersonal communication, especially as they relate to working with people in human services.

In addition to writing about yourself in your introduction, please respond to one of the two following sets of questions:

• Think about characters in television dramas or sitcoms that you have watched. What are some examples of effective communication (verbal and non-verbal) that you have observed? What are some examples of ineffective communication?
• Think about a time when you had to communicate with someone else. What are some examples of effective communication (verbal and non-verbal) that you engaged in? Conversely, what are some examples of ineffective communication you have engaged in? What were the consequences of this miscommunication?
