Course Description: (as in Academic Calendar)

Talent Management serves as a foundational course for students who wish to understand contemporary organizations, their work
culture, and the role of HR within the Canadian workplace. Taking an applied approach students design strategies, policies, procedures,
systems, and structures required to successfully operate in a business context. Students also examine the key OBHR tools considered as
a set of business "best practices" to support and advise managers/leaders, and employees to be successful in the contemporary work
environment.

all faculty carefully review written assignments to ensure integrity. Cheating and plagiarism are prohibited and considered
serious acts of misconduct. At UCW plagiarism is defined as “representing the ideas, or the work of others as one's own.
Plagiarism includes copying, reproducing or paraphrasing significant portions of one's own work, or someone else's published or
unpublished material (from any source, including the Internet), without proper acknowledgment, representing these as new or
as one's own.” This includes another person's words, expressions, productions or creative works as well as actual plagiarism,
improper paraphrasing, insufficient citation and self-plagiarism.
2. Plagiarism occurs when a student uses the words of another person or entity (including using your own words in previously
completed assignments without the permission of the instructor), without proper citation or permission. It also includes “making a
small change to a passage or paper without appropriate citation.” (see Policy # 5006 Academic Integrity Policy). Plagiarism applies

calculations, diagrams, constructions, computer reports, computer code/software, material found on the internet, creation and
presentation of images, music, drawings, designs, dance, and photography. Cite all sources and give credit to those you borrow
ideas, statements and approaches from. You must cite the original author if the idea, concept or approach is not original to you. This
includes not only when you use the same words as the source but also when you paraphrase from that source. If you use exact
words from a source in your work, you must place quotation marks around those words and a citation to indicate that you have
taken them from another text. Copying and pasting information from any source including articles, theses, books and websites
without credit to that source is considered plagiarism.
3. All paper assignments/assessments will be submitted into MyUCW in the assignment area of TurnItIn in MyUCW. TurnItIn
automatically and systematically searches scholarly journals, articles, books, all websites, other university resources, other student
papers available on the web, and student papers submitted nationally or at UCW to check for plagiarism and similarity of
content. Ensure you are aware of the rules about citing and quoting material and the consequences for failing to follow the rules.

own. This signed cover sheet will include the following statement to indicate that the assignment is your own work: “I agree that the
work in this paper/ project/exam/assignment/etc. is my own work and that I have given credit to all sources of information used in
my paper/project/exam/ assignment/etc. by including citations and references in the APA format. I acknowledge that I am expected
