1.) Discuss  500 words or more discuss why Security as a Service is a good investment.

Use at least four sources.  Use the  Research Databases available from the Danforth Library  as your first choice. 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 paragraphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

2.) In 200-300 words Explain how cookies can show that a user has visited a site if that user’s history has been deleted. Use your own words.

Write a procedure document for CSI that documents how to change a password in a platform of your choosing.

The document should be detailed enough, and yet understandable enough, for a reasonable, non-technical, non-IT person to follow the directions and successfully change the operating system password without the need to call for support in all but the most extreme cases.  (In the real world, there will always be the the ‘outlying’ cases that defy logic and defy documentation.)

Text should be as understandable as possible and as non-technical as practical.  Remember in a previous lecture that the standard reading level for a wide audience tends to be 8th or 9th grade.  Include a glossary where needed.

Visual aids should be included.  Screen captures or photographs are very helpful to the technically challenged.

For this assignment an Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint (or equivalent application) document will be acceptable.

Tips

This is usually an easy assignment because changing the password in most operating systems is very simple. You just need to describe the steps in getting there.

Most students tend to get caught up in the editing process.  Getting a prototype document put together, including screen captures, is usually pretty fast.  Editing can be a time black hole so be mindful of that.

Ask a non-technical person to read one of your drafts.  If they understand it, and can follow it, you have succeeded.

Describe Access Controls that you have utilized in your career or personal life.  APA formatting is expected for any references.  Initial posts due by Thursday end of day and two peer responses due by the end of the unit.  

Be sure to use PROPER APA format as I have just completed above. Failure to cite an article in PROPER APA format will result in a grade that is not desired.

This is a juxtaposition discussion question. Choose a side. If you choose the green side, find resources support your response (remember to explore YouTube).  You must also argue against the RED side. If you choose the red side, find sources to help support your position…but you also argue against the GREEN side.  This is a complicated topic this week, so be sure to be thorough in your exploration of all the many facets. 

Stock market knowledge is a plus. Please follow all instructions, failure to follow instructions will result in refund request.

Video is uploaded with audio. Starting at 6:59 until 8:42 the animation needs to describe the example provided for Bank of America buying 100,000 shares of Boeing using Market Order vs Limit Order. Please use company transparent logos in animation (attached).

*Note: There is a minor discrepancy with the numbers but the example should be explaining buying 100,000 shares with 20k at $250, 20k at $260, 20k at $270, 20k at $280, 20k at $280 with Market Order.

You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

• Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
• Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
• Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
• Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)

1-2 page, at least one scholarly reference. NO plagiarism 

Create a 1-2 page single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published scholarly articles related to your mock dissertation topic/research question. 

Brevity and being concise are important as this analysis is intended to be a brief summation of the research.

Each abstract must therefore consist of the following in this order:

1. Bibliographic Citation – use the correctly formatted APA style citation for the work as the title of your abstract, displaying the full citation in bold font.

2. Author Qualifications – name and qualification of each author conducting the research

3. Research Concern – one paragraph summary of the reason for the overall research topic

4. Research Purpose Statement AND Research Questions or Hypotheses – specific focus of the research

5. Precedent Literature – key literature used in proposing the needed research (not the full bibliography or reference list)

6. Research Methodology – description of the population, sample, and data gathering techniques used in the research

7. Instrumentation – description of the tools used to gather data (surveys, tests,interviews, etc.)

8. Findings – summation of what the research discovered and the types of analysis that were used to describe the findings (tables, figures, and statistical measures)
