Report Writing

1. This research report must be written as a paper, in the depth and style of a Human Resource Specialist aimed at the General Manager or Chief Executive Officer as the target audience.

2. It must contain an Executive Summary that outlines the structure of the research and the outcome/results of the research as well as recommendations. This Executive Summary is excluded from the word count of this assessment.

3. Students are expected to use the theories/ models, tools and techniques as well as such readings that will showcase their knowledge and familiarity with the academic literature and course materials.

4. It is understood that there will always be gaps or insufficiency in the amount of information made available to you in your research. Hence, an awareness of this research limitation would help you in analysing the data collected more critically.

5. Students are expected to make intelligent assumptions and theories to supplement the information they have to formulate for the research report.

6. The research report must be original i.e. your own work. Your own views, opinions and ideas are aspects of critical thinking, and these can be supported with relevant academic literature sources.

7. Ensure that any academic sources (websites included) that you used in your report are correctly referenced using the APA reference style (6th Edition) for in-text citation and reference list. Failure to reference sources indicates that you have plagiarised the work as your own, and this will result in a fail mark for this assessment. If you are ever unsure – then reference it.

8. Please complete the details on the cover page and ensure that attach this whole set of Assessment document to the front of your research report.

9. Research reports must be submitted via Turnitin along with the hard copy to your lecturer by week 5. Late submission policy applies.
