Exp19_Word_Intro_CapAssessment_Research

Project Description:

As you near graduation from college, you plan to apply to various graduate schools. You have prepared a draft of a statement of purpose that you will include in an application packet to each university to which you apply. You modify the statement of purpose so that it is attractive and error free. In addition, you include such items as a table, picture, header, footer, and footnote, formatting text in columns where appropriate. Finally, you use mail merge to prepare personalized copies.

Start   Word. Download and open the file named Exp19_Word_AppCapstone_IntroAssessment_Research.docx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

Apply the Slice document theme.   Select all text in the document, and change the font to Bookman Old Style.   Change the font size to 12. Adjust the right and left margins to 1.5″.

Insert a header (select Edit   Header). Type Adams in the left section of the header. Insert a right-aligned page   number, selecting Plain Number. Close the header.

Insert a manual page break   before the second paragraph on the second page, beginning with On behalf of the faculty and staff.

Select all text that displays   before the newly inserted page break and double-space the selected text.   Remove any paragraph spacing from the selected text.

Move to the beginning of the   document and press ENTER. Remove the First line indent from the newly   inserted blank paragraph. At the new paragraph, type Statement of   Purpose and   apply bold formatting to the title. Center the title.

A footnote enables you to   clarify or expound on a statement in the body of the document without   cluttering the document with more text. Unlike a footer, a footnote only   displays on the page in which it is cited.
 

  In the second paragraph on the first page, place the insertion point after   the period at the end of the sentence that ends with by the University of Arizona. Insert a footnote that reads The Three   Minute Thesis Competition is open to all academic disciplines at the   university.   (include the period).

Modify the Footnote style,   changing the font to Bookman Old Style and the font size to 12.

Change the word sophomore in the first sentence on the   first page to student.

Insert a footer (select Edit   Footer) and type 2022 Fall in the footer space. Change the footer font to   Bookman Old Style and change the footer font size to 12. Close the footer.

Newsletters are often formatted   in columns, as is the one that is included in this document. By using section   breaks, you can format each section independently of others.
 

  Select all text on pages 4 and 5 and format it in two columns. Insert a   Continuous section break before the words On   behalf of the faculty and staff at the top of the fourth page.

Click before the newly inserted   section break at the top of the fourth page and change the column setting to   One. Type Welcome to the College of Business and press ENTER twice. Select Welcome to the College of Business and   apply the Title style. Reduce the font size to 22. Center the newsletter   title.

Add a bottom border with a   weight of 1 1/2 to the text Welcome to   the College of Business.

Pictures and graphics are often   included in newsletters, adding interest and style. Even so, those objects   should be incorporated relatively seamlessly with surrounding text, requiring   that you wrap text appropriately and size graphics so they are attractive but   not overbearing.
 

  Place the insertion point before the words The College of Business at the beginning of the second body   paragraph on the fourth page. Insert the University.JPG picture, downloaded with this   project. Change the picture style to Reflected Rounded Rectangle. Resize the   picture height to 1″ and select Square text wrapping.

Place the insertion point after   the period ending the first paragraph on the second page (ending in upon graduation). Press ENTER. Remove   the First line indent. Insert a 2-column by 6-row table. Change the width of   the second column to 1″.

Type Course in the top left cell and press TAB. Type Grade in the next cell on the first   row. Press TAB. Complete the table as shown below:
 

  Course Grade
Int.   Microeconomics A
Int.   Macroeconomics B
Public   Finance B
Business   Calculus A
Contemporary   Economics A

Insert a row above the first row   in the table. Merge all cells in row 1 and type Major Courses Completed in row 1. Apply Align Center   alignment to row 1. Apply a table style of Grid Table 4 – Accent 6 (row 4,   column 7 under Grid Tables). Center the table horizontally.

Add a caption below the table.   The caption should read Table 1: Major Courses Completed at the University of Arizona. (Do not include the period.) Center the caption.

Create a custom watermark to   display at a diagonal, with the text Copy in Blue (column 8 in Standard colors). 

Check spelling and grammar in   the document. Correct the misspelling of analyzed   and the hyphenation of first-time.   If the check does not suggest a change for   first time, manually correct it in the second to last paragraph in the   left column on page 5, changing first   time to first-time. Ignore all   other grammatical and clarity concerns.

Replace the dash dividing the   words organization and Fortune 500 in the first paragraph on   the fourth page with an Em Dash symbol.

Select the paragraph beginning   with I hope you will accept the   challenge on the last page (including the paragraph mark). Apply shading   of Red, Accent 6, Lighter 60% to the selected paragraph.

Begin a mail merge, selecting   recipients from an existing list—Graduate_Schools.xlsx,   using Sheet1$. Sort the data source in ascending order by University and   filter to select only those universities with an Area equal to W.

Replace [University Name] in the first paragraph on the third page with   the merge field of University. Be sure to include the brackets with text to   be replaced. Ensure that a space precedes and follows the newly inserted   University placeholder. Preview the results and then finish the merge,   choosing to edit individual documents and merging all records.

Select the entire merged   document and copy it. Switch to Exp19_Word_AppCapstone_IntroAssessment_Research,   move the insertion point to the end of the document, and insert a manual page   break. At the top of the new page, paste the copied text. The original   document to which you pasted the merged data now contains 15 pages. Save Exp19_Word_AppCapstone_IntroAssessment_Research   and close all open documents without saving.

Save Exp19_Word_AppCapstone_IntroAssessment_Research. Close all other   open files without saving. Submit   Exp19_Word_AppCapstone_IntroAssessment_Research as directed.

Task : Analyze the incident response process.

Requirements:

An “event” is any observable occurrence in a computer, device, or network. Think of an event as being anything that you may see reported in a log file. Events can be good or bad. Any event that results in a violation of or poses an imminent threat to the security policy is called an “incident.” An incident can occur at any point from the desktop or mobile device level to the servers and infrastructure that make a network work.

1. 1. Would the process of incident response change if a crime was intentionally committed versus an accidental event, such as an employee who clicks a phishing email link? That is, would the process of detecting, identifying, resolving, and documenting system or network intrusions change? Why or why not?

Fully address the question(s) in this task ; provide valid rationale for your choices, where applicable.

Select any example of a visualization or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualization’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.For this task, take a close look at the annotation choices:
Label each of the 4 sections in your document

1. Start by identifying all the annotation features deployed, listing them under the headers of either project or chart annotation
2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these annotation features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
4. Also, considering the range of potential annotation features, what would you do differently or additionally?

Submit a two-page document answering all of the questions above.  Be sure to show the visualization first and then thoroughly answer the above questions. Ensure that there are at least two-peer reviewed sources utilized this week to support your work. 

JOURNAL ARTICLE: Values-Based Leadership

Your submission must include the following information in the following format: 

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term – (the definition should come from the article) 

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term. 

DISCUSSION: Using 300-words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected key term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment. 

REFERENCE: The source for the analysis must be listed at the bottom of the submission – APA format required. Use only peer-reviewed journal articles for these assignments. Refrain from using blogs, .com’s, or other unreliable internet sources. Be sure to use the headers (Definition, Summary, Discussion, Reference) in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment. Further, any flagged documents will result in zero points for the assignment. Flagged documents mean that an attempt at plagiarism exists, or manipulation of the Turnitin process has been attempted. This is unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated.

#Excel Chapter 7 Capstone Assessment – Shipping

Project Description:

You work for a company that sells cell phone accessories. The company  has distribution centers in three states. You want to analyze shipping  data for one week in April to determine if shipping times are too long.  You will perform other analysis and insert a map. Finally, you will  prepare a partial loan amortization table for a new delivery van.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch07_CapAssessment_Shipping.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

The Week worksheet contains data   for the week of April 5.   

  In cell D7, insert the appropriate date function to calculate the  number of   days between the Date Arrived and Date Ordered. Copy the  function to the   range D8:D35.

Next, you want to display the   city names that correspond with the city airport codes.  

  In cell F7, insert the SWITCH function to evaluate the airport code  in cell   E7. Include mixed cell references to the city names in the  range F2:F4. Use   the airport codes as text for the Value arguments.  Copy the function to the   range F8:F35.

Now you want to display the   standard shipping costs by city.  

  In cell H7, insert the IFS function to identify the shipping cost  based on   the airport code and the applicable shipping rates in the  range G2:G4. Use   relative and mixed references correctly. Copy the  function to the range   H8:H35.

Finally, you want to calculate a   partial shipping refund if two conditions are met.  

  In cell I7, insert an IF function with a nested AND function to  determine   shipping refunds. The AND function should ensure both  conditions are met:   Total Days is grater than Total Days Delivery Goal  (cell C3) and Order Total   is equal to or greater than Order Total  Threshold (cell C2). If both   conditions are met, the refund is 50%  (cell C4) of the Shipping Cost.   Otherwise, the refund is $0. Use mixed  references as needed. Copy the   function to the range I8:I35.

The Stats worksheet contains   similar data. Now you want to enter summary statistics.  

  In cell B2, insert the COUNTIF function to count the number of  shipments for   Austin (cell B1). Use appropriate mixed references to  the range argument to   keep the column letters the same. Copy the  function to the range C2:D2.

In cell B3, insert the SUMIF   function to calculate the total orders  for Austin (cell B1). Use appropriate   mixed references to the range  argument to keep the column letters the same.   Copy the function to the  range C3:D3.

In cell B4, insert the AVERAGEIF   function to calculate the average  number of days for shipments from Austin   (cell B1). Use appropriate  mixed references to the range argument to keep the   column letters the  same. Copy the function to the range C4:D4.

Now you want to focus on   shipments from Houston where the order was greater than $1,000.  

  In cell C7, insert the COUNTIFS function to count the number of  orders where   the Airport Code is IAH (Cell D1) and the Order Total is  greater than $1,000.   

In cell C8, insert the SUMIFS   function to calculate the total  orders where the Airport Code is IAH (Cell   D1) and the Order Total is  greater than $1,000. 

In cell C9, insert the MAXIFS   function to return the highest order  total where the Airport Code is IAH   (Cell D1) and the Order Total is  greater than $1,000.

On the Map worksheet, insert a   map for the states and revenues. Cut and paste the map in cell C1.

Format the data series to show   only regions with data and show all map labels.

Change the map title to April 5-9   Gross Revenue.

Use the Loan worksheet to   complete the loan amortization table.  

  In cell F2, insert the IPMT function to calculate the interest for  the first   payment. Copy the function to the range F3:F25. (The results  will update   after you complete the other functions and formulas.)

In cell G2, insert the PPMT   function to calculate the principal  paid for the first payment. Copy the   function to the range G3:G25.

In cell H2, insert a formula to   calculate the ending principal balance. Copy the formula to the range H3:H25.

Now you want to determine how   much interest was paid during the first two years.  

  In cell B10, insert the CUMIPMT function to calculate the  cumulative interest   after the first two years. Make sure the result is  positive.

In cell B11, insert the CUMPRINC   function to calculate the  cumulative principal paid at the end of the first   two years. Make sure  the result is positive.

You want to perform a what-if   analysis to determine the rate if the monthly payment is $1,150 instead of   $1,207.87.  

  In cell B15, insert the RATE function to calculate the necessary  monthly rate   given the NPER, proposed monthly payment, and loan. Make  sure the result is   positive.

Finally, you want to convert the   monthly rate to an APR.  

  In cell B16, insert a formula to calculate the APR for the monthly rate in   cell B15.

Insert a footer on all sheets   with your name on the left side, the  sheet name code in the center, and the   file name code on the right  side.

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch07_CapAssessment_Shipping.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.
