Project Management

This project should include what it takes to create an application for a mobile deivce. In this day and age we utilize phone applications on a daily basis and creating one for daily use is no easy task. A programmer would need to understand what is important to the stakeholder utilizing the application and how much work would need be put into the applcation to be sucessful with the stakeholder. The start of the application should start with the idea, the programmer would then do market research, the last item would be marketing the application to right people.

Assignment

 

  1. Now that you have R installed on your computer, you will begin to get some experience (hands-on) with the software. For this assignment, you are exposed to just 4 features of R: Arithmetic OperationsOperations on vectors; the Recycle Rule for adding/subtracting vectors; and Creating a S3 Class Object. A separate screen shot is required for execution of each feature. Open R (either command line or RStudio). Enter code that will handle the following (show all code, comment for each code line and the computed results in your screen shots). These are instructions; do NOT just write the instructions – actually show this within R and capture a readable screen shot to show that it works properly!!
    Screen shot 1: Arithmetic Operations

    • assign a value of 144 to x
    • assign a value of 6 to y
    • add x and y
    • subtract y from x
    • multiply x times y
    • divide x by y
    • find the square root of x
    • Screen shot 2: Operations on vectors
    • create a vector (afc) and assign values 2,6,3
    • create a vector (nfc) and assign values 6,4,2
    • add afc and nfc
    • Screen shot 3:  Recycle Rule for adding and subtracting vectors
    • assign values 2,1,8,3 to vector x
    • assign values 9,4 to vector y
    • add x to y
    • notice the warning message – use the Recycle Rule for adding vectors; then 
    • add x to y and show results
    • subtract 1 from x – apply the Recycle Rule for subtracting vectors; then
    • subtract y from x and show results
    • Screen shot 4: Create an S3 Class Object
    • create a list – with components: name = Your name, date = today’s date, and score = score you desire on Assignment 2.
    • name the class as “graduate student” 
    • Save the screen shots as a MS Word document (*.docx). Then, click the “Write Submission” link below and directly paste your screen shots into this forum OR add the screen shots as a Microsoft Word document attachment (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename).

Twittering became virtually an overnight sensation, but some question its usefulness.

Do you want to know the routine activities your friends (or other individuals you choose to follow) are doing during the day?

Do you follow anyone on Twitter or do you tweet regularly?   Why or why not?

Because Twitter updates have to be very short, some may think that twittering on the job does not take up enough time to be a concern, but what about the distraction factor?

Should employers allow employees to use Twitter, Facebook, and other popular online activities during work hours? Why or why not?
