READING SUMMARIES INSTRUCTIONS Week 7

You will complete 6 Reading Summaries throughout this course. Each summary must be at least (1.5-2 pages) and must synthesize the information learned from all reading material each module/week. You will integrate the knowledge learned from the content in the Reading & Study folder in each module/week.
For instance, the textbook will contain a broad range of content. Use the text to navigate the summary, but then explore specific issues from the text that the theories book and articles discuss. All information you pull from each of the required reading sources for that module/week must be cited in current APA style. Feel free to use outside sources as well, but you are not required to do so.
Each summary must include: an integration of the Kassin et al. text chapters, Chadee theory chapters, and two journal articles related to each module/week. The summary should include an intro paragraph, three paragraphs each with a major theme supported by several of the sources and a closing paragraph. The intro paragraph should be an overall summary of the module/week material (1-2 paragraphs). Then you should include (1-2 paragraphs) for 3-5 of the major points that span across all sources for the module/week. Each of these paragraphs should have a minimum of 2 SOURCES cited in each paragaph. **This is to ensure that you are integrating the information, rather than just summarizing each source independently. And lastly, you should include a concluding paragraph that ties together the major themes you introduced in the body of the summary.
The Reading Summaries will be individual submissions that will be reviewed by only your instructor. Your summaries must be in current APA format, have a cover page, a summary page or two, and a reference page in current APA format. **Also make sure you use subheadings (i.e. introduction, summary points, conclusion, etc.)
This assignment is the core learning/building block for this course. As such, be careful to read all of the material and to make worthwhile summaries of the information presented. You will use this information for every other assignment in this course.
Just as a hint: your Reading Summaries will provide you with terrific study guides for the Midterm and Final exams.

Submit Reading Summaries 1-3 & 5-7 by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the assigned modules/weeks.

Imagine that you have been hired as the human resource manager at an organization where you have previously worked or are currently working. Your first task is to assess areas for improving training and development and the performance appraisal system within the organization. Write an essay on your analysis of these two areas. Address the questions below in your assignment. Use headers to organize your paper and show what you are covering in your assignment.
