  3. Plan, write, and revise thesis-driven arguments to suit a variety of rhetorical situations, including interpretation, evaluation, and analysis, supporting them with a variety of appropriate textual evidence and examples and demonstrating use ofcommon literary terms and appropriate conventions of academic discourse and literary analysis.
  4. Find, analyze, interpret, and evaluate primary and secondary sources, incorporating them into written work using appropriate documentation format without plagiarism.

Sample Assessment:

  1. Critically read, analyze, compare, and evaluate complex literary texts with the objective of identifying a text’s genre elements and its premises and assumptions in various social, historical, cultural, psychological, and/or aesthetic contexts.

I met this SLO by incorporating multiple writings from Unit 1 and offering a reading of the film A Better Life through the lens of Rios’s analysis in “Multiple Manhoods,” which involved comparing texts and examples and examining various historical and cultural contexts. You can see this, for instance, in the body of my essay when I make the point that…[insert quote from your essay–in other words, quote yourself making these moves]

I met this SLO in the body of my essay, particularly when I examine the long-term impacts of family separation, but also when I introduce texts and summarize the authors’ cause and effect analysis, as evident, for instance, in my introduction of Rios’s work when I write…[insert quote]

Score: 12

Note: According to my analysis, I have met all of the SLOs; however, I only incorporated one outside source, so I may plan to add more in future essays.

To Prepare Read this week’s Learning Resources on mixed methods designs. Think about how each design sequences and combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to achieve research objectives. Review your Week 1 through Week 4 Discussions on a quantitative and qualitative research problem, purpose, research question, and theoretical/conceptual framework. Identify a mixed methods design that would accomplish your quantitative and qualitative research objectives. Alignment of scenario elements is important. See the Examples of Aligned and Misaligned Scenariosdocument, which can be downloaded from the Week 5 Learning Resources area of the classroom. Discussion posts are pass/fail but have minimum criteria to pass. See the Discussion Rubric to ensure you understand the pass/fail criteria.Program of Study: Identify your specific program of study and, if applicable, your concentration area.Social Problem: Briefly describe the social problem or phenomenon of interest. Typically, this can be done in 3 or fewer sentences.Quantitative Research Problem: Complete the following sentence: The scholarly community does not know…Quantitative Research Purpose: Typically, this is a 1-sentence statement addressed by completing the following sentence:The purpose of this quantitative study is…Quantitative Research Question: Typically, this is a 1-sentence question unless you have more than one research question.Theory or Conceptual Framework: Identify a specific psychological or sociological theory or specific aspects of a conceptual framework that guides the scenario. Briefly describe how the specific theory or conceptual framework guides your research question and will aid in interpretation of results.Quantitative Research Design: Identify a specific quantitative research design. Do not use broad terms, such as survey design, cohort design, longitudinal design, causal-comparative design, cross-sectional design, and so on. Briefly describe how the selected design fits your scenario.Quantitative Sampling Strategy: Be specific.Quantitative Data Collection Method: Be specific.Qualitative Research Problem: Complete the following sentence: The scholarly community does not know…Qualitative Research Purpose: Typically, this is a 1-sentence statement addressed by completing the following sentence:The purpose of this qualitative study is…Qualitative Research Question: Typically, this is a 1-sentence question unless you have more than one research question.Theory or Conceptual Framework: Identify a specific psychological or sociological theory or specific aspects of a conceptual framework that guides the scenario. Briefly describe how the specific theory or conceptual framework guides your research question and will aid in interpretation of results.Qualitative Research Design: Identify a specific qualitative research design. Do not use broad terms, such as descriptive design, exploratory design, hermeneutics, lived experience, and so on. Briefly describe how the selected design fits your scenario.Qualitative Sampling Strategy: Be specific.Qualitative Data Collection Method: Be specific.Mixed Method Design: Identify the design as either (a) convergent, (b) explanatory sequential, or (c) exploratory sequential (see Creswell & Creswell, Chapter 10), and briefly describe how the design fits the objectives of your quantitative and qualitative scenarios.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery in Cloud Computing

In many organizations, the primary role of the IT staff is to ensure 99.999% availability of computing resource applications, power, files, networks, and phone systems to name a few.

In this assignment, imagine that you have been hired by the midsized, multinational, BIG-CLOUD company to create and graphically depict a cloud based business continuity plan (BCP) and disaster recovery plan (DRP). Your solution must include details on how the cloud solution of your choice will address three (3) or more high fault items such as user disk failure, server disk failure, network failure, database failure, phone system failure, server power failure, desktop power failure, fire, flood, and malware. (Use the template in Chapter 10 of the text as a reference for the BCP and DRP plan.) Fictitious assumptions and details may be assumed or created for the completion of this assignment.

Write a five (5) page paper in which you:

  1. Provide a brief background on the company that has hired you and describe its backup and recovery challenges.
  2. Describe the threats to its IT data center infrastructure.
  3. Create a BCP plan for the high fault items that are being addressed.
  4. Create a DRP plan for the high fault items that are being addressed.
  5. Create a section in your BCP that addresses the mitigation strategy of your cloud solution in regard to the high fault items listed in the scenario.
  6. Create a section in your DRP that addresses the mitigation strategy of your cloud solution in regard to the high fault items listed in the scenario.
  7. Discuss the amount of control your organization wants to retain over its data, in relation to moving information to a third party, and data leaving the country or region boundaries. Assume both situations are such that allows for a cloud-based backup solution.
  8. Evaluate the pros and cons of your cloud-based backup solution with regards to your organization’s requirements (i.e., flexibilities you gain versus absolute control you lose). Determine whether the pros outweigh the cons.
  9. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.Note:Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
