What BUSI 643 covers
Heneman et al.'s Staffing Organizations is read two chapters a week from Module/Week 1 to Module/Week 6 and one chapter a week in Module/Weeks 7 and 8, with one presentation each week and four open-book reading quizzes in Module/Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 8.
Six 100-point case studies answer questions on the textbook's own cases in Module/Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8; the forums, worth 75 points each, fall in Module/Weeks 3 and 5; the literature review runs from a 5-point topic in Module/Week 1 and a 40-point annotated bibliography in Module/Week 3 to the 150-point review in Module/Week 7.
This course will examine the changing nature of the labor market, including conceptual, operational, and legal issues. Discussion and activities will focus on the legal, ethical, and economic factors affecting recruitment, selection, placement, and appraisal. Students will learn to synthesize theory with application and evaluate the effectiveness of an organization's workforce planning and employment strategies. Understanding strategic organizational considerations and developing decision-making skills related to the staffing process will be emphasized through text readings, case studies, experiential exercises, and secondary research.

Where BUSI 643 papers lose points
BUSI 643 work loses points when a forum thread lists pros and cons without taking a position or a reply runs past 300 words, when the literature review summarizes articles one by one, relies on sources older than five years or falls short of twelve peer-reviewed articles, and when the biblical integration essay never names a staffing concept.
