The purpose of this project paper is to allow the students to research, investigate and report on the human resource issues/practices in the real hospitality industry. As a future hospitality manager, it will be important for you to handle and solve the questions or problems that are associated with human resource issues and identify good practices from the industry. The length and depth is only limited by your time, effort and ambition.
Students will form a group with 3~4 members and once your group members have been selected and confirmed by the professor, you may not change the group. Professor will approve your Case and once the case is approved, it MAY NOT be changed or modified. If you can not find one on your own, the Professor will assign one for your group.
Paper must be written according to APA style (see purdue.edu-go to online writing lab (OWL) for information on APA format) unless otherwise specified in these guidelines.
You must include an “Introduction” and “Conclusion/Summary” that follow the requirements indicated on the Project Paper Rubric.
The body of the paper should contain Level 1 subheadings that correspond to the Table of Contents. There are sample papers that you can use as a guide along with the OWL website at www.purdue.edu.
Send an e-copy to the professor a week before your presentation and hand ONE hard copy before the DEADLINE which will be given by your professor, for your final grade.
The paper is expected to be around 1500 words- (not including title page, table of contents, lengthy quotes, tables, or case examples which should be placed in an appendix) in typed, doubled spaced with 1" margins, top, bottom, left and right. Use only 12-point type with either “Times” or “New Roman” font; others will not be accepted. It is critical that the paper conform to the length requirements or your grade will be impacted.
Pages must be numbered; the page starting with the Introduction is page 1. Your paper then begins with the Introduction, followed by the Body of the Paper, followed by the Conclusion/Summary, followed by the reference.
Citations are a necessity. Unless the work is your own, failure to credit the source is plagiarism and will result in a failing (F) grade for the course! Refer to OWL web site if you are in doubt as to what constitutes plagiarism. If in doubt, ask. The Writing Center is another resource you have available to you. Papers using material not cited, may receive a zero for the paper and F for the course.
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT SUBMIT A PAPER BY THE DEADLINE DATE WILL RECEIVE AN F FOR THE COURSE. PLEASE NOTE THAT SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS PAPER ACCORDING TO THESE GUIDELINES IS A COURSE AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
