Signature Assignment # 2: Case Study Essay Alders and
Richardson Diagnosing a Problem with the HR Department Writing Style Guidelines
and Parameters: Case responses should not exceed 4 pages (this total does not
include cover page and References page). All writing for the Case should adhere
to APA formatting regarding spacing (double-spacing), font style (Times New
Roman) and font size (12), cover and references page. Responses to case
questions must be accurate, detailed, and substantive. Students must support
their responses to case questions using in-text citations when the idea or
quote to which they are referring is based in the course text or another
source. Students, in addition to the course text, may include other sources to
strengthen their case question responses. Students should be careful to use
credible and scholarly resources. Failure to approximate responses using the
above guidelines will result in a lower point total for this component of the
course. Spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation, writing mechanics, and over
clarity and accuracy are also evaluated.
