Part 1: Introduction to the Problem

During this course you will complete a series of projects that will help you understand the components of a research study. You will do this by writing a proposal that supports the extension of a previously published research project. (You will not actually conduct the research; you will be developing a short proposal that explains the need to extend the research.)

Using the ACM database in the Library Portal, find a study related to an area of Information Security that you are interested in to be the basis for your projects for this term. The study can be quantitative or qualitative, but needs to address a problem that you are familiar with. In the conclusions of the study, it should indicate areas for further research.

In Part 1 of the project, you will write a short introduction to the research proposal (3-4 pages) which includes the following:

A description of the problem that was addressed in the selected study
A description of the study population and the sample
A summary of the previous findings
A description of an area of research suggested by the author for further research.
An explanation of why this extension of research could be important or how it might yield more insight into the problem.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

2. These questions can be formulated while reading assigned texts before the lecture, during lecture about the lecture itself, during the viewing of the recorded lecture, or after viewing the recorded lecture. Below youll find different options for formulating your ONE PAGE question/reflection:1)Address a citation from one of the theoretical texts weve read for the week, and a short (2-3 sentence) description of what you find compelling, interesting, confusing, challenging, confounding, about the passage.2)Address the atheoretical concept presented in the weeks lecture presentation that you find compelling, interesting, confusing, challenging, confounding, and would like to introduce for discussion in class. This scene may have some relationship to the citation of the theoretical text youve provided. 3)An anesthetic technique that you saw in artwork or exhibition that was covered in the lecture presentation. Pick one you think has engaged directly with a theoretical concept weve discussed or has been discussed in one of our readings/lectures. Briefly describe the artwork or exhibitions technique and also what kind of relation it might have to the theoretical text we encountered that week.  4)These should not be simple yes or no question or something that can easily be looked up on Wikipedia. Rather, your 150-word response should reflect your active engagement with the reading, lecture or case study artwork/exhibition. These questions are meant to help you understand concepts in the text that you find difficult, please use them to your advantage.  Consider the following questions to guide your work a. What is the text, lecture or artworks main idea? b. What does it mean?c. Why does it matter? 5)As you proceed with these assignments over the course of the quarter, you may compare and contrast prior theories or artworks covered in one lecture with another.  This will prepare you for the final paper assignment. 

Write a paper explaining the history, structure, and purpose of the U.S. Constitution.

/in /by

In this assignment, you are to write a two-page paper explaining the history, structure, and purpose of the U.S. Constitution.

Your paper should address the history and structure of the U.S. Constitution using the list below:

a) Identify events that led to the creation of the document.

b) Explain the need that was felt by the founders used to justify why it was written as it was.

c) Identify the general topics covered in the various sections of the U.S. Constitution.

d) The documents could be described by the processes it created. One of the most celebrated concepts is the rule of law. Explain how the Constitution contributes to that non-violent and orderly transition of power within the democracy.

e) Address which sections focus on the amendment process and the transition of the government.

f) Parts of the documents place very explicit limitations on the power of the government—choose two and explain them with some detail.

g) Identify the branches of the federal government.

h) Explain the role and power of the U.S. Supreme Court.

All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

There are two options for this paper; you may choose whichever you prefer. (1) Find an issue or problem in business or professional ethics from the business pages of a newspaper, or from a business magazine, or from your own business experience. (2) Find an ethical problem or issue in a profession that you are interested in, or that you expect to enter yourself.

Term paper: 20 points. About 2500 words (this works out to about 4-5 pages).
There are two options for this paper; you may choose whichever you prefer. (1) Find an issue or problem in business or professional ethics from the business pages of a newspaper, or from a business magazine, or from your own business experience. (2) Find an ethical problem or issue in a profession that you are interested in, or that you expect to enter yourself.

You must divide the paper into sections with subheads for each section. If you do not do so, 3 points will be deducted from your grade.

First section: Present a summary explanation and/or analysis of the ethical problem(s) or issue(s), presenting the various sides of the conflict, and, if possible, the differing opinions that have been given about it. State clearly what the ethical problem is that you will be dealing with. This section should be neutral and objective. Shorter is better than longer in this section. Do not try to solve the problem or present your opinion(s) in this section. (6 points max.)

Second section: Discuss the way three different ethical positions or theories would be likely to deal with the problem. You may use any of the ethical theories summarized on the handout given in class that is entitled “Normative Theories of Ethics.” As in the first section, shorter is better than longer in this section. Do not present your opinion(s) on the problem or attempt to solve it here. (6 points max.)

Third section: Present what you think would be the best solution to the problem, along with your reasons for your solution and why you think your solution is superior to the others that might be given. This is the section in which you should discuss your problem and present your opinion(s). Longer is better than shorter in this section. Say what ethical theory or theories you are using to arrive at your solution. (8 points max.)

Those three sections of your paper should be of corresponding length: Section 1: At most 30%: Section 2: At most 30%; Section 3: At least 40% of the whole.

If you slight the third and most important section – many students have done so in the past – this will mean that your grade for the paper will thereby be diminished even though your first two sections are excellent, as each section is graded independently of the others.

Your term papers must be in standard English, typewritten, double spaced. You should, if possible, do them in Microsoft Word. They will be handed in electronically, through Blackboard. Pages should be numbered. If you think that incorporating graphics, pictures, or other non-text elements into your report improves its quality and presentation, you may do so, at your discretion, but the text must still be about 2500 words. If you wish to include a copy of the publication in which your problem appeared, that could be helpful but it is not mandatory. You need not provide a formal outline, but you may do so if you wish. You need not get the instructor’s approval for your topic, but you may discuss it with him if you wish to do so.
