Transcription

1 Course participation 1. Shows a wide range of knowledge in contemporary issues in HRM Draws accurately on a few classic theories of HRM Draws accurately on a variety of classic theories of HRM and is sometimes able to cite the relevant literature Draws accurately on a broad variety of classic theories of HRM and is always able to cite the relevant literature 2. Achieves deep understanding of HRM theories and their application Shows a poor application (e.g. is not able to describe the HRM application) Shows a basic application (e.g. is able to describe the HRM theories and their application, but it not able to evaluate them) Shows a deep application (e.g. can evaluate and interpret HRM application) 3. Ability to critical evaluate HR research and literature and the underlying methodologies Seldom evaluates the HR research and literature and the underlying methodologies Evaluates to some extent critically the HR research and literature and the underlying methodologies Is able to evaluate deeply and critically the HR research and literature and the underlying methodologies 4. Contributes actively to class discussions Contributes to the discussion by raising questions and comments that reflect little understanding of the theories, sometimes builds on others ideas and seldom challenges assumptions and ideas Sometimes contributes to the discussion by raising questions, making sometimes relevant comments, builds on others ideas and sometimes challenges assumptions and ideas Always contributes to the discussion by raising thoughtful questions, comments are relevant, often builds on others ideas and most of the time challenges appropriately assumptions and ideas

2 1. Demonstrates breadth and depth of knowledge in HRM research and literature 2. Demonstrates communication, discussion and teaching skills Explanations of HRM theories and research are inaccurate or incomplete, does not cite the relevant literature. Little attempt is made to highlight the methodologies involved and does not show the application of the HR theory Does not take an active role in maintaining the flow or direction of the discussion. Fails to act as a facilitator to reach the learning objective and to encourage participation, does not raise thoughtful questions to guide the audience For the most part, explanations of HRM theories and research are accurate and complete, sometimes cite the relevant literature. Some attempt is made to highlight the methodologies involved and does to some extent show the application of the HRM theory Takes responsibility for maintaining flow and quality of discussion. Facilitates discussions to reach learning goals, to some extent raises thoughtful questions to guide the audience and encouraging others to participate but is not always effective Speaker provides accurate and complete explanations of HRM theories and research, drawing on relevant literature. Highlights the methodologies involved and shows the application of the HRM theory Takes responsibility for maintaining the flow and quality of the discussion whenever needed. Raises thoughtful questions to structure the discussion. Encourages new ideas, critical thinking and class participation. Helps to redirect or refocus discussions when it becomes side tracked or unproductive. Makes efforts to engage reluctant participants 3. Demonstrates the ability to structure a presentation and clearly get ideas across Presentation is poorly organized and structured; storyline is not developed. For the audience it is difficult to follow the presentation and to understand major ideas Presentation is to some extent organized and structured, storyline is not fully developed. Audience gains some insights Presentation is well organized and structured, good storyline is developed. Audience can easily follow the presentation and understands major ideas Presentation

3 1. Develops a research problem that is appropriate for a research paper Author did not develop a suitable research problem. Purpose of the study is either undeveloped and/or not clearly stated Author developed a suitable research problem. Purpose of the study is fairly well developed and articulated Author developed an interesting and unique research problem. Purpose of the study is well developed and clearly articulated 2. Ability to do a thorough literature review and to clearly articulate the logical framework Analysis of the literature is not well developed. It lacks summary and/or any synthesis of the relevant literature, discussion of the literature review omits important aspects of the research problem Analysis of the literature is fairly well developed. It summarizes the overall information obtained from the literature reviews and synthesizes adequately the knowledge gained. To some extent the literature review makes clear connections between the analysis and the research problem A strong analysis of the literature is developed. Summarizes and shows insightful synthesis of the literature information, including analysis of gaps. There are clear linkages among the information under consideration and the research problem 3. Use of broad knowledge to develop original research Insufficient range of theories to support research objective. A number of relevant theories are selected to support research objective and to discover what is already known about the problem. The most important theories are selected to support research objectives and to discover what is already know about the research problem 4. Develops suitable research approach to answer research problem Proposed research methods are not appropriate to answer research questions, research design is not defined clearly. Does not recognize the limits or implications of the research design Paper Proposal Proposed research methods are fairly appropriate to answer research questions, research design is fairly well developed. Recognize to some extent the limits or implications of the research design Proposed research methods are appropriate to answer research questions, research design is defined clearly. Recognize the limits or implications of the research design

4 5. Use of a clear writing style to get major ideas across Throughout the proposal, wording is imprecise or ambiguous. Sentence confusing. Proposal is unacceptably sloppy. Quotes are frequently not attributed or improperly Proposal is for the most part clearly worded and structure is mostly clear. There is a few minor spelling or grammatical errors. Quotes are all properly attributed and Throughout the proposal, wording is clear and clear and lucid. Quotes are all properly attributed and. There are virtually no spelling or grammatical errors

5 1. Develops a research problem that frames the research paper Author did not develop a suitable research problem. Research questions are either undeveloped and/or not clearly stated Author developed a suitable research problem. Research questions are fairly well developed and articulated Author developed an interesting and unique research problem. Research questions are well developed and clearly articulated 2. Ability to analyze the research topic Analysis is not well developed. It lacks summary and/or any synthesis of the relevant literature Analysis is fairly well developed. It summarizes the overall information obtained from the literature reviews and synthesizes adequately the knowledge gained A strong analysis is developed. Summarizes and shows insightful synthesis of the literature information, including analysis of gaps and/or limitations of the research 3. Ability to arrive at a research conclusion based on a thorough analysis Analysis does not drive the conclusion, poor connection between conclusions reached and research problem and research questions asked Analysis drives the conclusion to some extent, there are some connections between conclusions reached and research problem and research questions asked Analysis drives the conclusion and conclusion answers the research problem and research questions in a consistent and thorough way 4. Use of broad knowledge to develop original research Insufficient range of theories to answer the research questions A number of relevant theories to answer research questions are identified The most important theories to answer research questions are identified 5. Use of deep knowledge to get major ideas across Author shows a poor theories and research, (e.g. is not able to describe the theory) Author shows a basic theories and research (e.g. can describe the theory, but it not able to evaluate it) Author shows a deep theories and research (e.g. can critically evaluate and interpret the HR theories) Term Paper

6 6. Use of a clear writing style to get major ideas across Throughout the paper, wording is imprecise or ambiguous. Sentence confusing. Paper is unacceptably sloppy. Quotes are frequently not attributed or improperly Paper is for the most part clearly worded and structure is mostly clear. There is a few minor spelling or grammatical errors. Quotes are all properly attributed and Throughout the paper, wording is clear and clear and lucid. Quotes are all properly attributed and. There are virtually no spelling or grammatical errors 7. Organize and structure a research paper Organization of the paper as a whole does not follow a logical flow. Not all parts of the paper fit the organizational structure. Not all the parts of the paper are effectively integrated. Topic sentences are missing or unclear in a number of paragraphs. In a number of paragraphs, the parts do not connect logically Organization of paper as a whole is logical and apparent, but transitions between paragraphs are not consistently smooth. Every paragraph makes one distinct and coherent point and, for the most part, the parts of each paragraph connect logically and effectively Organization of the paper as a whole is logical and quickly apparent. Connections among paragraphs are clearly articulated. Transitions between paragraphs are smooth. Every paragraph makes one distinct and coherent point, expressed in a clear topic sentence; the parts of each paragraph connect logically and persuasively, and internal transitions are smooth
