Article Reviews:
students will locate and read an article from a professional journal (peer reviewed) and write a short paper reviewing the article. Reviews should concentrate on the research that supports the article (if the article details a research project/effort), the authors purpose (was it accomplished?), the conclusions reached, and how this articles content relates to the weeks subject matter .in other words why is it important or anyone to read it? Note: A summary of the articles content does not constitute a critical review!
The article reviews (Weeks Three and Five) must be reviews of related scholarly research work to be found in professional, peer reviewed journals. (Do not use articles over 7 years old as they are generally of limited academic value) This means you will have to use Internet and library resources to find those articles. Publications such as Workforce Management Magazineand HR Magazine do not fit this category. A peer reviewed journal contains articles that cover academic research in the selected area. As graduate students, these are the sources you should be looking to for information. Further notes on article reviews can be found in the next few paragraphs.
Submitted article reviews which are not based on peer reviewed journal articles will be subject to a one letter grade reduction.
The article review should be written in the following format using these SUBHEADINGS:
1. Citation / Source (name of article, authors name, etc. in APA format) Place this as the first item in the review.
2. Major Thesis (a summary of the article, main points, its relationship to course content, and your critical evaluation of the articles supporting research/data)
3. Utility (How useful is the article to the HR discipline? How might it be applied to the HR environment? Provide specific examples.)
4. Conclusion
Note: as per the directions given above, popular circulation magazines are NOT approved sources for these article review papers. You will find professional journals at the university library, and some online as well. Remember, ask the UIW Library about their online services for online students.
Note: All papers should include references to the course readings (tie in concepts/theory from the textbook to the application/article) and follow APA writing guidelines (double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-point Times Roman or Courier font). In other words, your analysis, statements and opinions must be supported with references to the textbook/theory.
