Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students, via research, increase their understanding of impacts of information
technology on current world issues, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research
paper, including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3
external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general information
sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the
paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source. Choose your topic from the list of topics that follow
these organization steps.
Paper organization
Open Word and save a blank document with the following name:
“Student’s LastNameFirstInitial Research Paper”
The paper should be organized in the following way:
1. Title page:

There are two deliverables for this project:
First, you are to Prepare a PowerPoint Presentation for the VP of HR. The PowerPoint Presentation should be a voice over Presentation using VoiceThread.
Second, a report should be written as though you were giving it to your client the VP of HR. It should be clear, concise, and well thought out. Writing should be professional and clean.
Not to go over 20 page-count, however, it should be thorough.
· Include all aspects of the assignment grading criteria.
· Cite in text when using thoughts that are not your own. All sources must be appropriately cited—use APA for in text and reference list citation formatting.
· Include a reference page for source(s).
· Put the paper title information on a separate page.

· Writing content is critical. If you make a statement, for example, "All people who break the law should improve their communication skills to stay out of jail," you need to substantiate that statement. If that statement is not your own thought or a statistic, cite. If it is your opinion, state that and explain what led you to that conclusion. Provide enough information to validate and explain the statement.
Treat this assignment as a real-world situation. This will give you the opportunity to practice how you would research and provide information as an HRM professional.

Deductive vs Inductive ReasoningDeductive reasoning starts out w.docxsimonithomas47935
Deductive vs Inductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. With deductive reasoning, we start with facts and then derive other facts from them. Mathematically we can represent the following: A=B and B=C, therefore we can deductively say A=C. Deductive reasoning arrives at a specific conclusion based on generalizations. In deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things, in general, it is also true for all members of that class.
i.e. "All men are mortal". "Tom is a man". Therefore Tom is mortal.
Inductive reasoning begins by looking for a trend or logically sequenced events that can be used to create a generalized conclusive statement. Inductive reasoning uses specific observations to make broad statements. Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. When we use inductive reasoning, we are not sure of the conclusion.
i.e. “Tom is a father. Tom is bald. Therefore, all fathers are bald."

Deductive vs Inductive ReasoningDeductive reasoning starts out w.docxsimonithomas47935
Deductive vs Inductive Reasoning
Deductive reasoning starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. With deductive reasoning, we start with facts and then derive other facts from them. Mathematically we can represent the following: A=B and B=C, therefore we can deductively say A=C. Deductive reasoning arrives at a specific conclusion based on generalizations. In deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things, in general, it is also true for all members of that class.
i.e. "All men are mortal". "Tom is a man". Therefore Tom is mortal.
Inductive reasoning begins by looking for a trend or logically sequenced events that can be used to create a generalized conclusive statement. Inductive reasoning uses specific observations to make broad statements. Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. When we use inductive reasoning, we are not sure of the conclusion.
i.e. “Tom is a father. Tom is bald. Therefore, all fathers are bald."

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
