The research paper is the keystone of this course. Although the reading, case studies, and discussion forum cover the functional areas of the course, the research paper provides the learner with the opportunity to investigate/research an HRM area of personal interest. This project runs the entire length of the course. As with any research paper, the introduction that includes the thesis statement explaining the objective of the paper sets the tone and direction the paper will take. The body will include a synthesis of the results of the topic research. The conclusion/recommendation provides the conclusion of the paper. As discussed above under the Assignment Expectations and Academic Integrity, the use of correct grammar, spelling, syntax, and citations is expected. The length of the paper is between 6-15 pages, exclusive of cover page, appendix, and bibliography.

theatre
While theatre (almost) came to a stand still during Medieval Times, religious vernacular drama, about biblical figures or events, survived – partly because much of this religious drama was being produced theatrically within the confines of the church. Out of this drama, came morality plays. This type of drama, often considered “less” religious and “more” humanistic (from a socially and cultural point of view, because it taught moral lessons to society), has had a significant and lasting impact on theatre and culture in the western world.
Everyman remains the most popular example of a morality play. After reading the play and doing some additional research on its themes, storyline and characters, your skills of creative writing will now be employed. This assignment requires you to:
This new interpretation could include (but not be limited by) contemporary images and/or moral concerns; personification and interaction of vices and/or virtues; and themes or lessons for a modern day “Everyperson”.
This assignment should be typed and proofread (4-5 pages in length). The final choice of how this assignment will be presented (i.e. a fairy tale, short story) is strictly up to you. Think originality and creativity – images, graphics, Powerpoint/Prezi presentations, video links, etc. are always encouraged to help tell your story. Some additional research may be needed (remember to document your sources in a bibliography). Early submissions are always accepted. Please be aware of spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization, etc. This assignment will be graded according to the Written Assignment 1 Rubric.
The Everyman link provided (sometimes) does not open on all computers. If that is the case for you, use this alternative translation.

Effective resource development and extensive organizational analysis
The Steppingstone Foundation, a nonprofit organization that had challenges moving their current model to another city because of the inability to raise additional funds, poor leadership, and other issues; please use this case study as the foundation of your response to the week’s discussion topics
Effective resource development begins with an extensive organizational analysis. In the chapter “Managing the Resource Development Function” in your textbook there is a list of preliminary questions used to conduct an early analysis; please review the list of preliminary questions and consider what The Steppingstone Foundation might have done differently. After performing an extensive organizational analysis, the next task is to engage in the planning phase of resource development. Successful planning involves two critical elements, efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, nonprofit organizations face a more strained economy; therefore, they rely heavily on marketing their case.
- How would you define efficiency and effectiveness in a nonprofit context?
- Evaluate and explain how efficiency and effectiveness impact the performance of a nonprofit organization.
- Analyze and explain how a nonprofit organization can improve its organizational performance in the absence of these elements.
- Discuss how small/new nonprofit organizations can market their case statement while operating with budget constraints
