focuses on expanding on your Week 1 Assignment, with the goal of helping you practice and develop literature review skills.

1. Briefly explain the problem or question you are trying to address (from Assignment 1 and any feedback you received).
2. Identify a set of keywords that might be useful in helping you to locate studies that will provide insight. At least one of these key terms will often produce valuable resources: “review”, “survey”, “meta-analysis”, and “systematic review.” Reviews typically provide a thorough summary of previous research and can be quite useful for grasping what has been done in the past.
3. Please choose a topic and then select what you believe would be a useful database within which to start. Conduct a search using various combinations of the keywords you identified in #2. MIT provides a useful guide for searching various databases: http://libguides.mit.edu/c.php?g=175963&p=1160724 (Links to an external site.). You may find it helpful. At the end of this process, please document your results by noting how many possible citations turned up in your search and how many you initially identified that may be helpful.
4. Select at least three articles that you believe will provide the most relevant insight into your problem or question and explain why you selected those articles. At least one of them MUST be a traditional research article containing both a Methods (or Methodology) section and a Results section. For each article, you should provide the complete reference  .please copy and paste any abstract or summary from the article or resource.
5. Identify how you might go about developing a literature map, given what you have read this week and key results from your search.
6. Based on what you have found so far in your literature search, develop two possible sets of null and alternative hypotheses that would relate to the problem or question you are trying to address, e.g., Set 1 will have a null and alternative hypothesis, Set 2 will have different null and alternative hypotheses.

This is first weeks assignment question: 

This week, the assignment focuses on three primary purposes: (1) to identify your experience in research methods and statistics, (2) to identify an idea (or begin to operationalize one that you have already proposed) that could serve as a topic for the MRP or other research initiative, and (3) to identify some key elements needed to flesh out the project based on the readings for the week. Please respond to the following items below in a Word document 

1. Explain your level of exposure to the topic of research methods and statistics, emphasizing (a) where you obtained this exposure, (b) how long it has been since you took a course on these topics, and (c) your level of comfort with both research methods and statistics..
2. Identify a question or problem that would benefit from the use of data. Note that you may use a question or problem that you have used in a previous class, but it will be beneficial if it is workplace related and something you believe could be realistically addressed (as it will provide a greater application to the MRP or other research initiative). ensuring that you provide enough context and information for me to provide you with feedback.
   1. Would your question or issue likely benefit most from a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method design? Explain your response.
   2. Will you approach the problem inductively or deductively? Explain.
   3. Based on your problem or issue, what are some potential independent and dependent variables, mediators, and moderators? If you determine that one or more of these would not relate to your issue or problem, please ensure you provide your reasoning for that.
   4. What would be the key characteristics of your sample and how might these key characteristics impact (both positively and negatively) the conclusions you can draw based on whatever results you would obtain?

Answer:

1) A) Research methods and statistics gives us involved involvement with our specified field. we gain more profound comprehension of the logical cycle on exploration questions and structure and to test our theories. You realize what it resembles to work in a thesis and finding out with regards to the preparation of tests, composing awards and how to report discoveries. This research methods and statistics is a collection of data, organizing the data, analyzing the data which requires a review test and decision of an appropriate measurable test.

B) This is my first time taking a course on these topics.

C) I am comfortable in learning both research methods and statistics as I am still in initial stages of learning.

2) a) I can explain it with an example of tender, once the government proposes a project, all the interested companies will come and participate in the tender with their budget cost and design, but here everything is based on estimation and the data collected by observing and analyzing based on the place, current value of the equipment and material including the manpower, this comes under mixed-method design. Here data is collected generally based on the assumptions like surveys, existing data, case studies, graphs, previous tender experience, and content analysis based on today’s market and overview on the future price increases on overall project.

b) My approach is inductively as everything is interlinked and analyzing it from time to time is mandatory here as data becomes old in fraction of time, so keeping up to date on this process and updating and closely observing everything is important here.

c) Here the main problem is not disclosing the information to others and keeping everything confidential as this might affect your current analysis because based on your tender cost, someone might lower their cost and we might lose the project. Architecture design, material design, structural design is the main thing to be taken into consideration for cost estimations.

d) The key characteristics for the above examples is analyzing the data which is collected and making estimations as low as possible with a profit including the future predictions, as each year the material cost, equipment cost and manpower cost varies based on seasons and work, so everything needed to be taken into consideration before applying for tender and the results will be positive if we match with the analysis done by government with near estimations.

Assignment #3 – Advanced Ruby

Objective

For this assignment, you will be creating a query API for a CSV file of students. The API will

query a ‘YAML-base’ which you generate from the CSV file. Your API will be tested with an API

client that is provided to you.

Models

1. You are given a CSV file named s t u d e n t s . c s v

. This file contains 15000 fake student

records (along with headers) containing the following fields: G i v e n N a m e

, S u r n a m e

,

S t r e e t A d d r e s s

, C i t y

, S t a t e

, Z i p C o d e

, E m a i l A d d r e s s

, G e n d e r

, P o u n d s

2. Create a c l a s s

 called C o u r s e

 in c o u r s e . r b

 which contains c o u r s e _ n a m e

 and c o u r s e _ i d

fields which are set via the class constructor. Provide appropriate read/write accessors

to those fields.

3. Create a c l a s s

 called S t u d e n t

 in s t u d e n t . r b

 which contains the following fields (with

appropriate read/write accessors): s t u d e n t _ i d

, f i r s t _ n a m e

, l a s t _ n a m e

, c i t y

, s t a t e

,

e m a i l

, g e n d e r

, p o u n d s

, g p a

 and t a k i n g _ c o u r s e s

.

4. The S t u d e n t

 class should have an empty constructor, but should provide an ability to be

initialized via a block initializer as discussed in the lecture materials.

5. Both C o u r s e

 and S t u d e n t

 classes should override the t o _ s

 method.

Database Generator

1. Create d b _ g e n e r a t o r . r b

 file which will:

Read in the CSV file using Ruby’s CSV library (see PickAxe for an example of

reading in a * . c s v

 file with headers).

Create an array of students, where each student will have its fields populated

based on the values of the * . c s v

 file with the exception of s t u d e n t _ i d

, g p a

, and

t a k i n g _ c o u r s e s

 fields. Keep in mind that pounds is a floating point number

and should be stored appropriately.

s t u d e n t _ i d

 should just be a value which starts with 1

 and gets incremented every

time a new instance of student is created (presumably finishing ~15000)

g p a

 should be a randomly generated floating point number with the lowest value

being 2 . 0

 and the highest 4 . 0

 (Hint: take a look at Ruby’s built-in r a n d

 function)

t a k i n g _ c o u r s e s

 should be an array of 0 to 4 C o u r s e

 objects. The idea here is that

each student is taking a different number of courses. Some students might not

taking any courses while others can be taking all four.

Create 4 courses with some id and name and randomly ‘assign’ 0 to 4 courses to

1 of 3

each created student. (Hint: Ruby has a wonderful s a m p l e

 method, which can

choose n

 random elements from an array.)

2. Serialize the students array to u n i v e r s i t y _ d b . y m l

 using Ruby’s YAML library (see

Pickaxe book for an example).

API

1. Create D b A p i

 class in d b _ a p i . r b

 which will serve as an API/DSL for selecting records

from the ‘YAML-base’ based on certain conditions. DO NOT re-load the YAML file

every time, rather store students loaded from the YAML file in a class variable called

s t u d e n t s

 that is retrievable from a class method called s t u d e n t s

.

2. D b A p i

 needs to have the following methods implemented:

r e q u i r e _ r e l a t i v e ‘ s t u d e n t ‘

r e q u i r e _ r e l a t i v e ‘ c o u r s e ‘

r e q u i r e ‘ y a m l ‘



c l a s s D b A p i

c l a s s

d e f s e l f . s t u d e n t s . . . e n d

d e f s e l f . s e l e c t _ b y _ g e n d e r ( g e n d e r ) . . . e n d

d e f s e l f . s e l e c t _ b y _ f i r s t _ n a m e ( f i r s t _ n a m e ) . . . e n d

d e f s e l f . s e l e c t _ b y _ l a s t _ n a m e ( l a s t _ n a m e ) . . . e n d

d e f s e l f . s e l e c t _ b y _ w e i g h t _ m o r e _ t h a n ( p o u n d s ) . . . e n d

e n d

3. The f i r s t _ n a m e

 and l a s t _ n a m e

 methods should accept a Regexp matcher as an

argument.

4. d b _ c l i e n t . r b

 (provided) will use your API. A sample output from running d b _ c l i e n t . r b

is as follows:

2 of 3

The d b _ c l i e n t . r b

 prints an intersection of the number of males, the number of people whose

first name contains ‘Andr’, and the number of people who weigh more than 200 pounds.

Submission Guidelines

1. Commit all the files to you local repo and push your repo out to your private team repo

on gihub creating a remote branch called a s s i g n m e n t 3

2. You can do one of the following to accomplish the above:

Create a local branch called a s s i g n m e n t 3

 ($ g i t c h e c k o u t – b a s s i g n m e n t 3

) and

then push it out by doing $ g i t p u s h r e m o t e _ a l i a s a s s i g n m e n t 3

Work on a m a s t e r

 branch in your repo and then to $ g i t p u s h r e m o t e _ a l i a s

m a s t e r : a s s i g n m e n t 3

3. Feel free to include a README with any comments

3 of 3

1. Analyze/Review two of your classmates’ postings and respond individually. 
2. Each response to your classmate should be at least 150 words in length and include one credible information source citation. 
3. Please find the attachment. 

A friend of yours is new to computing, and he has learned that you are pursuing a CIS degree.  He asked you about the meaning of a program, the key differences between the generations of programming, and how the open-source software (OSS) comes into play.  How would you answer these questions?

In response to your peers, please fill in any gaps or add more detail to help support their answer with an emphasis on the roles of web programming languages.

#PowerPoint 3G Remodels

Project Description:

In the following project, you will format a presentation that describes backyard remodels.

Open   the file named Student_PowerPoint_3G_Remodels.pptx. downloaded with this project.

Change the Colors for the   presentation to Paper.

On Slide 1, format the   background with the Stationery texture, and then change the Transparency to   30%.

Select Slides 2 through 4, and   then apply a Solid fill to the  background of the selected slides-in the fifth   column, the third  color.

On Slide 2, hide the background   graphics.

On Slide 2, insert a Table with   2 columns and 4 rows. Apply table  style Medium Style 3-Accent 1, and then   type the information below in  the inserted table.
 

  Row 1, Col 1: Improvement Type; Col 2: Components
   Row 2, Col 1: Outdoor Kitchen; Col2: Barbecue, sink, bar, covered patio
   Row 3, Col 1: Swimming Pool; Col 2: Jacuzzi, pool, waterfall
   Row 4, Col 1: Fire Pit; Col 2: Fire pit, seating area, gas lines

Change the Font Size of all of   the table text to 28. Resize the  table height to 5.8″, and then   distribute the table rows. Align   the  table text so that it is centered horizontally and vertically within the    cells.

In the table, change the Font   Size of the first row of text to 32.  Apply a Round style Cell Bevel to the   first row. Note, depending on  your version of PowerPoint, this may be called   Circle.

On Slide 3, animate the picture   using the Wipe entrance animation  starting After Previous. Change the   Duration to 01.00. Apply the Split  entrance animation to the bulleted list   placeholder, and then change  the Effect Options to Vertical Out.

On Slide 4, insert a Clustered   Column chart. In the worksheet, beginning in cell B1, type the following   data.
 

  In row 1, beginning in cell B1: Owner Installed, Contractor, Owner as Contractor
   In row 2, beginning in cell A2: Patio, 8000, 12000, 9500
