The purpose of this assignment is to examine the components of a research article and help you identify guidelines for conducting critical analyses of published works.  The knowledge gained should be applied when completing your weeks 3 and 5 research assignments.  As you complete assignments it is a good idea to proof read your work or use the University writing center to help with APA formatting.  Both are great avenues for assistance in minimizing grammatical errors and conducting research. Please use the attached “Guidelines for Evaluating a Research Article” to answer the below questions: 

• What is an Information Technology Project?  
• Identify & explain the major parts of a research paper.
• Explain the difference(s) between qualitative vs quantitative research methods.
• Why use Peer Reviewed journals?
• Why are keywords used during the Literature Review process?
• Why are project deliverables, limitations & deadlines an important aspect of project development?
• Why use/apply APA Basic Citation Stiles in your writing assignments/research?
• Why is Academic Integrity important (see syllabus)?
• Explain the difference between plagiarism vs self-plagiarism?

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Use at least three – five (3 – 5 ) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page do not count toward the page count

 Describe how you would like to implement End-User and Administration Support, Account Review, and Account Revocation system in your organization to make the identity management process reliable and user-friendly. 

Need help on the below discussions, please.

 Yabe Online Auctions requires its sellers to post items for sale for a six-week period during which the price of any unsold item drops 12 percent each week. For example, an item that costs $10.00 during the first week costs 12 percent less, or $8.80, during the second week. During the third week, the same item is 12 percent less than $8.80, or $7.74. Design a modular program that allows a user to input prices until an appropriate sentinel value is entered and displays the price of each item for weeks one through six. 

At UC, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.

Assignment:
Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment. 

You should not provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.

• “Agile vs Structured”: How is Agile Modeling better or worse than Structurred Methods?
• “Agile Types”: What types of Agile Modeling exists and which seems better?
• “Prototyping”: How important is Prototyping and when would it be used?

NOTE: 
You must copy and paste the topic at the start of your paper to provide a context for your answer.
This paper must be between 250-300 words on what caught your eye and reflect on what you read. 
Do not add extraneous text that does not address the question – do not add an introduction or conclusion.
Do not copy and paste text from the referenced resource. 

Produce an ER Model for the following scenario (presented in Step 1 below) and business need, for the Pythagoras Math Academy.

Deliverables:

· ER Model for the scenario presented.

· You have the option to use MS Visio (if you have the software) to produce your ER Model.

· Alternatively, if you do not have MS Visio, you can use the ERD PLUS (Open source ER Modeling Software) and produce your ER Model.

Lab Steps:

Step 1: Read and understand the Scenario and Business needs presented below. Define and document the ENTITIES, and RELATIONSHIPS, required to address the business needs. The nouns in the scenario below will give the ENTITIES that you will need. Finally, the verbs will describe the RELATIONSHIPS.

Scenario and Business Need:

The Pythagoras Math Academy is in need to develop a database to keep track and control of his students, teachers, and classes offered.

Teachers are able to teach multiple courses. But they are required to be certified on the course they are teaching. For example, only a group of teachers are certified to teach Algebra, and other Geometry.

Students can take multiple courses. Courses are taught by teachers with the proper certification and have multiple certs as needed.  Courses are taught in one of the classrooms at one of the School’s several sites.

Each classroom is optimized to serve the needs for a course (for example some courses might require computer labs and whiteboards). The school needs to keep track of the math courses delivered in each of the sites.

Step 2: For this project, you are required to use MS Visio or ERD PLUS to produce the deliverables.

If you are using MS Visio follow the steps below:

· Open MS Visio

· Click on the Software Database Template in the main window

· Select the Database Model Diagram Template to open a new file.

If you are using ERD PLUS.

· From the ERP PLUS main interface, select DOCUMENTS –> NEW DIAGRAM (NAME YOUR DIAGRAM) –>ER DIAGRAM –> CREATE

Step 3: Define and Database ENTITIES

· Add an entity for each Table you identified in the Scenario and Business Need.

Step 4: ADD the required ENTITY ATTRIBUTES  

· Add the required Attributes for each Entity that you feel would help to define each Entity as needed.

· Select one of the attributes to be PRIMARY KEY (PK)

Step 5: Define RELATIONSHIPS

· Use the Crow’s Feet Notation.

· Drag and drop (draw) relationships between the entities you defined.

· Connect the ends to the two entities for each relation.

· Defined the Primary Key for the parent entity.

Step 6: Define CARDINALITY RELATIONSHIP

Set the cardinality for each of your relationships defined in Step 5.  

For MS Visio: select a relationship line in the drawing area that is connecting two entities. In the Database Properties window, select the miscellaneous category. Select the cardinality for the selected relationship.

Design a program that lets the user enter the total rainfall for each of 12 months into an array(list). The program should calculate and display the total rainfall for the year, the average monthly rainfall.
