• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing

Discuss in 500 words or more the differences between and advantages of MAC, DAC, and RBAC.

Use at least three sources.   Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Research Project Poster Presentation

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your preliminary idea for your research project. The PowerPoint presentation must include the following:

• Background      on the problem (1-2 slides)
• Explanation      of the problem to be studied (1-2 slides). Include evidence that the      problem is current and significant
• The      overarching research question(s) (1 slide)
• Identify      at least three scholarly sources that directly inform the project. The      sources should be relevant and recent.

Research Project Annotated Bibliography

Begin organizing the research and topics for your project using an annotated bibliography. The format of the annotated bibliography is a reference to the article, formatted per APA 7th edition, and an annotation or summary of the article. The summary should include important topics and how the topic relates to your research. Your annotations should cover three areas (typically formatted in three paragraphs):

• Summary:      What did the author do? Why? What did he/she find?
• Analysis:      Was the author’s method sound? What information was missing? Is this a      scholarly source?
• Application:      Does this article fill a gap in the literature? How would you be able to      apply this method/study to your study? Is the article universal?

Writing annotated bibliographies will help you develop the skills to critically read and identify key points within an article. This will help you determine the validity and usefulness of the articles in relation to your research topic.

Research Project Extended Annotated Bibliography

Continue organizing the research and topics for your project using an annotated bibliography. The format of the annotated bibliography is a reference to the article, formatted per APA 7th edition, and an annotation or summary of the article. The summary should include important topics and how the topic relates to your research. Your annotations should cover three areas (typically formatted in three paragraphs):

• Application:      Does this article fill a gap in the literature? How would you be able to      apply this method/study to your study? Is the article universal?

Writing annotated bibliographies will help you develop the skills to critically read and identify key points within an article. This will help you determine the validity and usefulness of the articles in relation to your research topic.

Research Project Literature Review

You will submit the literature review of your research paper. The literature review will form the main body of your final research paper. This will be where you provide a synthesis of the articles you have found related to your topic. When writing a literature review, you should include or consider the following:

• An      introduction and a conclusion
• Avoid      direct quotes.
• Organize      by topic or theme rather than by author
• Use      headings
