Topic/Title Submission for Project in Personnel Psychology

Week 2

Beginning this week, you start submitting materials for your Final Project in this course (Personnel Psychology). Some information you submit this week may change as the quarter progresses as you continue your reading and research and as you incorporate Instructor feedback. You should begin to conduct an empirical review for your literature review in order to identify gaps in that literature. To prepare for your research, you may want to view the media on literature reviews located in the Week 6 Learning Resources.
