For each Curiosity Update, we will find one (1) article from a range of online publications (a diverse list of online publications is included at the bottom of this project prompt). These articles should be on topics and issues that you are interested in and genuinely care about. For each update, introduce your selected source (author, articles title, and the online publication), briefly but accurately summarize the source (what are the most important points or ideas in the source? Paint a clear picture for your reader), and then respond to a particular idea or area in the text that interests you the most (dont try to respond to the article as a whole, just one particular aspect or idea in the article).

Why are you interested in this issue/topic? How does this idea or area connect to your general interests or your concerns about the world? What connections to other sources or texts can you make? What questions arise for you as you reflect on these ideas? What would you like to research further?

One of the concepts we are attempting to develop in this course is critical and careful reading, so it is important to base our responses on specific evidence provided in our selected articles. Therefore, youll want to incorporate and integrate quotations from your selected article to help with your response.

Typed, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman, 1-inch margins on all sides, at least 2 full pages, with a Works Cited page (Works Cited does not count in your 2 pages, and it should be properly formatted according to MLA guidelines).

Define, discuss, and provide a practical example of each of the four levels of HR analytics: operational reporting, advanced reporting, strategic analytics, and predictive analytics.
Provide an example of data (i.e. analytics) that can be retrieved from each of these levels.  For example, using e-Recruitment and e-Selection software, you can identify the demographics and number of applicants for each position. You would also explain on how this information would be useful to the organization.

The Final Portfolio Assignment is where you pull together the research you’ve been working on the first seven weeks of class. Using your weekly Discussion posts, and the feedback from your classmates and instructor on your posts, construct a 5 page paper that fully explores your research topic in a way that provides the context and explanation surrounding the analyses provided in the paper. Your project should display you understand what you are writing about holistically, not simply going through the motions.

Citing literature about your research topic, be sure to set the stage for the data and analyses that you present. Briefly describe the General Social Survey as your survey instrument. Provide the questions, verbatim, that were asked in the survey which became the variable which you chose to use. You will also need to include the answer choices for each of them. This portion can be a table if you choose. Share and explain frequency table(s) an histograms or graphs to describe your data. Using the statistical tests you ran each week in class (crosstabs, tests of significance, measures of association), present the tests and your findings. Clearly identify and explain your hypothesis and the five steps of hypothesis testing as they apply to your paper. Explain the results of the statistical tests and pull in some literature to provide context, demonstrating how your results and research fit into the larger body of literature on this topic. Be sure to use proper APA formatting for citations and references. However, you do not need to include an abstract or table of contents. You can find guidance in APA by clicking here to access the Purdue Online Writing Lab.

Because the project is a formal, you should include a title page and reference page. You may organize the paper based on the following headings:

Introduction – Introduce the topic based in current literature (briefly – show why it is important to study). Discuss why you chose the topic and what the purpose of the paper is. Give a brief overview of what you will cover.

Literature Review – Review 3-4 peer-reviewed sources that provide a background on your topic. These sources don’t have to specifically address the relationship between your IV and DV, but should address the topic and be somewhat related to your variables.

Methods – Briefly discuss the GSS (information you included in Assignment 1) as your data source. Identify and describe your specific variables, including the name, question, and responses (categories). You may state your hypothesis here, but do not go through the hypothesis testing steps until the next section.

Findings – Begin with a discussion of each variable individually, utilizing your frequency tables and charts/graphs. Then discuss your other analyses in logical order. Crosstabs are your first look at a potential relationship. Next, discuss the steps of hypothesis testing. Include the table of your significance test. Last, discuss the strength and direction of the relationship using measures of association. (Be sure you are thorough here. Include all of your analyses done in the discussions!)

Discussion – Discussion what you learned from the various analyses and draw any conclusions you found. Talk about any further research you think may be needed on your topic.
