Timeline-Diss

 Completion of the dissertation primarily rests upon you, the doctoral student. However, research indicates that self-regulated learning strategies predict the elapsed time along the dissertation journey (Dunn & Rakes, 2015; Kelley & Salisbury-Glennon, 2016). One such strategy is the creation of a timeline. This cyclical process has the learner plan out a task, monitor their performance along major milestones, reflect on their progress, and then use the reflection to adjust the timeline. However, to be effective, this strategy needs to be personalized for each learner’s purpose (Zimmerman, 2002).

Using the attached template as a guide, you are to create such a timeline – a roadmap, if you will, along your dissertation journey. Incorporated within the timeline are major milestones. Build into the timeline goals for each milestone with specific dates. You may also want to include specific contact information as well as possible obstacles that may arise. This will be a tool you will bring to each consultation with your professor/chair. Most importantly, it is to be a useable point of reference along your dissertation journey.

User Interface

Early user interfaces were designed with little or no consideration for the end user. This was largely due to technical and hardware limitations. The poor interface design required a specific skill set for users and limited the mass appeal of computers. Modern interfaces are much more user friendly. Theo Mandel has written about the golden rules of interface design. Read “The Golden Rules of User Interface Design [PDF].”

Write a seven – ten page paper in which you:

  1. Describe three interfaces you interact with on a daily basis.
  2. Analyze each interface you identified in Question one and assess how it adheres to Mandel’s five golden rules.  
  3. Suggest two changes for each interface to achieve a more user-friendly design and justify your suggestion.
  4. Provide three screenshots for each interface. Note: These screenshots should be labeled and appear in the appendix of the case study. These pages are not included in the page requirement for the assignment.
  5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources. 

Need to go thru the attached research paper and answer below questions

  1. Problem statement: what kind of problem is presented by the authors and why this problem is important?
  2. Approach & Design: briefly describe the approach designed by the authors
  3. Strengths and Weaknesses: list the strengths and weaknesses, in your opinion
  4. Evaluation: how did the authors evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme? What kind of workload was designed and used?
  5. Conclusion: by your own judgement.

2 Discussions and 1 Case Study

Discussion 2.1

What is the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures? To whom do the guidelines apply? What do they cover?

Discussion 2.2

Place yourself in the position of general manager of a service department. How might formally written job requirements help you manage your employees?

Case Study 2.1

Select two (2) Case Study:

  • Read HRM Experience: Sexual Harassment: A Frank Discussion and complete the assignment part (page 133)
  • Read Case Study 1 – Going to the dogs and answer the 3 questions that follow (pages 134 – 135)
  • Read Case Study 1 – Companies learning to be flexible and answer the 3 questions that follow (page 174)

Please use this strategy when you analyze a case:

  1. Identify and write the main issues found discussed in the case (who, what, how, where and when (the critical facts in a case).
  2. List all indicators (including stated “problems”) that something is not as expected or as desired.
  3. Briefly analyze the issue with theories found in your textbook or other academic materials. Decide which ideas, models, and theories seem useful. Apply these conceptual tools to the situation. As new information is revealed, cycle back to sub-steps a and b.
  4. Identify the areas that need improvement (use theories from your textbook)
    • Specify and prioritize the criteria used to choose action alternatives.
    • Discover or invent feasible action alternatives.
    • Examine the probable consequences of action alternatives.
    • Select a course of action.
    • Design and implementation plan/schedule.
    • Create a plan for assessing the action to be implemented.
  5. Conclusion (every paper should end with a strong conclusion or summary)

Writing Requirements

  • 3–5 pages in length  (excluding the cover page, abstract, and reference list)
  • APA format, Use the APA template located in the Student Resource Center to complete the assignment.
  • Please use the Case Study Guide as a reference point for writing your case study.

Designing a great interface

  

Section A

As the lead for the design team project, it is time to create your first mock-up of this interface. Based off of your previously chosen organization from the Unit project 1, you will now begin the design. Complete the following:

  • In a Word      document of 1–2 pages, describe at least 3 interface design techniques      that you will use in your interface design.
  • Create a      mock-up interface for the project.
  • Use at least      3 user interface design techniques.
  • Ensure that      the interface can track information (e.g., name, aliases, location,      nationality, product, price, picture, notes, quantity, street address,      etc.). Remember that these will vary based on the organization.
  • The screen      should be able to do the following:
    • Open
    • Close
    • Minimize
    • Maximize
  • Submit a      screenshot in Word or another application (if functional), and confirm      with your instructor that the file type is acceptable if it is not a Word      document

Section B

Building on your initial user interface (UI) design mock-up of the organization’s program UI, the interface now needs to present more information to the user. Complete the following for this assignment:

  • The      interface should present information visually with icons or graphics and      text regarding critical issues related to the system, such as the      following:
    • New       orders
    • Change       in employee status
    • Updated       pictures
    • New       products or services offered
  • Describe      techniques for developing prototypes of user interfaces.
  • You      must add at least 5 critical issue UI design items to your interface.      Remember to ensure that these are easily understood by users.
  • • Submit      a screenshot in Word. Or a functional application if pre-approved by your      instructor.
  • Describe      the items that you added to your interface design. Be specific with your      descriptions, and identify the particular design features along with an      explanation of why they are added in the way that they were.

In the Unit 2 Lab assignment, we continued to learn how to analyze wireless traffic using Wireshark and also began learning how to analyze wireless traffic using the NetWitness Investigator Tool. I began with practicing loading a file of traffic that Wireshark had previously captured. We reviewed previously captured ones so that all students were were following the same instructions. There is so much information to look at it can be a bit overwhelming. I am still finding that I have trouble using the Wireshark application, even after thoroughly following instructions. The introduction to the NetWitness Investigator Tool seemed a bit easier to follow. I was capturing the same packet information that I viewed in the first step when using WireShark. There was obviously a little trial and error involved, but I feel a little better about using this tool than WireShark. It appears to be a little more user friendly, but that could be because it isn’t all information overload on the menu. It appears to be displayed a littler easier to read. I still feel a little lost when it comes to most of the information that I am trying to find. This information is important to the cybersecurity field because it can provide important information to where a criminal hacker may be located or what it is exactly they are trying to achieve. It more or less shines a little light into the dark spaces of the internet.
