LEARNING OUTCOMES/GOALS

(1) Students form a persuasive and well-supported argument about the ethical issues of the case

(2) Students adequately describe the technical engineering aspects of the issue for a general audience

(3) Students create clear, organized, and detailed documents

ASSIGNMENT CHECKLIST

All papers must be in 12-point Times New Roman font (smaller fonts are appropriate for figure captions and text inside figures).

All margins must be 1” all around (note that old versions of Word typically default to 1.25” for left and right margins, so you will need to change these).

All papers should be 4-6 pages, double-spaced.

Graphics should be used as needed, particularly in the technical description.

The paper should be well-researched and cite various sources as needed. Your sources are necessary to provide authoritative support for your ideas and to give credit for supporting ideas that don’t belong to you. Use the APA style of documentation to format your in-text citations and References section.

Your paper should have a well-defined point/thesis – a statement somewhere in the introduction that conveys to the reader precisely what your subject is, what your position is, and how you will support this position. Remember that a thesis is a promise to the reader that you’re going to discuss one specific main idea; the rest of your paper is how you go about keeping that promise.

GENERAL WRITING AND ORGANIZATION CONSIDERATIONS

Every paragraph and section should be obviously related to the thesis; every paragraph and section should be obviously related to each other; every sentence in a paragraph should be obviously linked to each other and should obviously refer back to its paragraph’s topic sentence.

The structure of the paper should include an introductory section, a section that describes the engineering issue/technology/problem, a section that discusses the relevant ethical issues and applies a code of engineering ethics to the issues, and a conclusion section. These sections should be clearly labeled with section headings.

Your audience for paper 3, though educated, possesses no specialized knowledge of your research/experiment or of the ethical situation you’re discussing; this fact means you must provide a technical explanation of your chosen scenario (defining any technical terms).

Graphics must serve a substantive purpose, which means you must think carefully about what areas of your content might be helped by visual representation and what types of graphics (photos, diagrams, tables, charts, etc.) will most effectively accomplish your purpose. These graphics may certainly come from outside sources as long as you cite them appropriately. If you modify a graphic in any way, your citation should reflect changes made.

Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing blockchain technology. Complete a review of the article by writing a 2-3 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. You should use the UC library (https://www.ucumberlands.edu/library) and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles (https://scholar.google.com/ )Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

 Access_Ch01_Cap – Loan Lending Management 1.0

In the following project, you will open a database containing the records of small loans from a lending firm, work with a form in which to store loan officer information, add records, and sort tables. You add a record using a form and print a report. You apply a filter by selection to a query and a filter by form to a table and save the results for both filters.

Start   Access. Open the downloaded Access file named   Exp19_Access_Ch01_Cap_Loan_Lending_Management.accdb. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

You update a table to contain the data for the Loan Officers,   so that each of the loans processed can be associated with a staff member.
 

  Open the Loan Officers table in Datasheet view. Add the following records to   the Loan Officers table:

Managing Loan Officer

Close the table.

You’ll now add information to   the Loans table for the most recent loan that the firm processed.
 

  OfficerID: 5
  MemberID: 15
  LoanAmount: 7000
  Term: 36   months
  InterestRate: 15.41
  Payment: 244.07
  Grade: D
  IssueDate: 12/15/2018
  LoanStatus: Late (31-120 days)

You would prefer for the Loan data be presented in order of issue   date with the most recent loans listed first.
 

Sort the records in the   Loans table by the IssueDate field in descending order (newest to oldest).   Save and close the table.

Next you will use the Maintain   Members form to add another loan that was processed for one of the firm’s   members.
 

  Open the Maintain Members form. In record 3 (for Brynn Anderson, MemberID 13), add a new loan to the subform:
 

  OfficerID: 5
  LoanAmount: 17000
  Term: 36   months
  InterestRate: 4.35
  Payment: 300.45
  Grade: B
  IssueDate: 9/1/2018
  LoanStatus: Fully Paid

When you need to navigate to a   record quickly, without a large number of clicks with your mouse, you can   search specific information in the Search field of the Navigation bar at the   bottom of the window. In this case, you are interested in adjusting   information for the author with an MemberID of 16 (Tyler Fletcher).
 

  Use the Navigation bar to search for MemberID 16, and then edit the subform so that the   InterestRate is 12.54 instead of .1899 for   the loan with LoanID 47. Close the Maintain Members form.

Reports are   used to neatly organize table data or query results into a document for   presentation to co-workers and/or supervisors. In this case, you are   interested in confirming that the report you created based on the Loans,   Officers, and Members query is reflecting the appropriate information before   sending it to your supervisor.
 

  Open the Loans, Officers, and Members report and check that the report shows   five loans listing Fully Paid as   Loan Status. View the layout of the report in Print Preview. Close the Loans,   Officers, and Members report. Open the Loans, Officers, and Members query.   Sort the query by LoanOfficer field in ascending order.

You are interested in quickly   filtering the data in the Loans, Officers, and Members query based on loan   officer. Filtering by selection allows you to select your filtering criteria   and apply it to the data. In this case, you would like to see only the loans   managed by John Badman.
 

  Use filter by selection to show only the loans managed by the loan officer   whose name is John Badman.

Sorting allows you to display   data in various ways including alphabetically (A-Z & Z-A), in ascending   order, in descending order, newest to oldest etc. You want to display the   query results alphabetically by LoanStatus.
 

  Sort the query by LoanStatus in alphabetical order. Save and close the query.

Now, you are interested in   quickly filtering the data in the Loans table based on two different fields.   Filtering by form allows you to enter your filtering criteria into a form   that is then applied to the data.
 

  Open the Loans table. Use Filter by Form to create a filter that will   identify all loans with a term of 36   months that also have an interest rate less than .11. Apply the filter and preview   the filtered table. Close the table and save the changes.

Close all database objects.   Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed.
