Criteria Accomplished (A) Proficient (B) Partially proficient (C) Borderline (D) Fail (F)
Problem identification

(25%)

 The business issue has been correctly identified, with a competent and comprehensive explanation of key driving forces and considerations. Impact on company operations has been correctly identified. Thorough analysis of the issue is presented. The student correctly identified the issue(s), taking into account a variety of environmental and contextual drivers. Key case information has been identified and analyzed. The student correctly identified the case (issues), considering obvious environmental/contextual drivers. There is evidence of analysis, but it lacks depth. The student correctly identified the issue(s) but analysis was weak. An absence of context – the work is basically descriptive with little analysis. The student failed to correctly identify the issue(s); analysis was incorrect or too superficial to be of use; information was misinterpreted.
Information gathering

(25%)

 The student showed skill in gathering information and analyzing it for the purposes of filling the information gaps identified. Comprehensive and relevant. Relevant information gaps were identified and additional relevant information was found to fill them. At least two different types of sources were used. The student demonstrates coherent criteria for selecting information but needs greater depth. The student correctly identified at least one information gap and found relevant information, but which was limited in scope. Some evidence of sound criteria for selecting information but not consistent throughout. Needs expansion. An information gap was identified and the student found additional information to fill it. However, this was limited in scope. Weak criteria for the selection of necessary information. Information was taken at face value with no questioning of its relevance or value. Gaps in the information were not identified or were incorrect.
Conclusions

(25%)

 The student evaluated, analyzed, synthesized all information provided to create a perceptive set of conclusions to support the decisions and solutions. The student evaluated, analyzed and synthesized to create a conclusion(s) which support decisions and solutions. The student reached conclusions, but they were limited and provided minimal direction for decision-making and solutions. The conclusion was reasonable but lacked depth and would not be a basis for suitable strategy development. The student formed a conclusion, but it was not reasonable. It was either unjustified, incorrect or unrelated to the case in hand.
Solutions

(25%)

 The student used problem solving techniques to make thoughtful, justified decisions about difficult and conflicting issues. A realistic solution was chosen which would provide maximum benefit to the company. Alternative solutions were explored and ruled out. The student used problem solving techniques to make appropriate decisions about complex issues. Relevant questions were asked and answered. A realistic solution was chosen. Alternatives were identified, explored and ruled out. The student used problem-solving techniques to make appropriate decisions about simpler issues. The solution has limited benefit but does show understanding of implications of the decision. Alternatives were mentioned but not explored. The student used problem solving techniques to make decisions about simpler issues but disregarded more complex issues. Implications of the decision were not considered. Alternatives were not offered. The student formed a conclusion, but it was not reasonable. It was either unjustified, incorrect or unrelated to the case in hand.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Internet Security and Privacy. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. People use the Internet today in many ways and the media available has multiplied. Internet access can be done through personal computers, laptops, netbooks and mobile devices. There are security and privacy issues whichever Internet device is used and are discussed below.

A. Security – although the standard for secure computer communications today is the SSL or the secure socket layer, there is still the potential for security lapses when people access their Internet connections for transacting whatever business they have in mind. The most common mistake that many people commit is at the so-called human-computer interface (HCI) where people do not know the security features embedded in the software program, according to the research done by the group of Radke, Boyd, Brereton & Nieto (2010).

1. User-Friendly Features – hardware designs, such as those on mobile or smartphones, must be simple to use and easily understood. This will prevent oversight that makes their computer communications vulnerable to hackers, for example, that leaves them open to possible fraud.

2. Authentication Procedures – it is vital for people to use the proper authentication process before even starting transacting online. The most common procedures are those requiring personally identifiable information such as birth dates, social security numbers or passwords. These are to be done upon logging in to their accounts to make sure it is not somebody else using their account, like in hacker attacks or the so-called MITM attack (man-in-the-middle) where there is another person pretending to be someone else.

write an article on Cause of the Collapse of a Tunnel at Heathrow Airport. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Cause of the Collapse of a Tunnel at Heathrow Airport. It needs to be at least 1500 words. The paper will discuss the collapse of the NATM tunnel at Heathrow Airport and also present some of the measures that could have been undertaken to prevent the fall.

The tragedy not only slowed the completion of the railway tunnel under the airport but also led to the expulsion of Piccadilly Line Services (PLS) to Heathrow airport. With no rail transport, a ruling was reached to open a provisional surface-level station at the border of the airport even as construction went on (Saveur 55). The path to the new station tracked the course of a long-abandoned channel referred to as “Broads Dock” (Connor 24). The Heathrow Junction station was located in Stockley Park, somewhat to the northeastern side of Heathrow Airport (Sherwood 49). Heathrow Fast Train, or class 332 trains, ferried passengers from Paddington to Heathrow Junction and back in only 12 minutes, and a fleet of express shuttle buses ferried the commuters the remaining distance to Heathrow Airport (Saveur 55). On 23rd June 1998, the Heathrow Express shuttle service instigated to Heathrow Terminals 1 to 3 railway stations, as well as Heathrow Terminal 4 (Saveur 55). Trains no longer passed through the Heathrow Junction, and within 10 days the railway line leading to the junction had been destroyed (Sherwood 49).

The heaviest fines ever were levied on Balfour Beatty and Geoconsult, in February 1999, by the British Health and Safety Executive following the collapse of the NATM station tunnels (Wallis 1). Balfour Beatty, the contractor of the £440 million venture, pleaded guilty to infringing two counts of England’s 1974 Safety at Work Act, which led to a fine of £1.2 million-plus another £100,000 toward prosecution expenses (Wallis 1). They were furthermore given only 14 days (2 weeks) to settle the fine.

Compose a 3750 words assignment on rap music’s effect on american culture.

Compose a 3750 words assignment on rap music’s effect on american culture. Needs to be plagiarism free! Corporate brands such as Nike, Coca cola, Sprite, McDonalds, in addition to many more corporate giants have been able to capitalize on this phenomenon. Despite the fact that hip hop and rap culture critics seem to be fixated on messages like violence, harsh language, and sex, the genre has a plethora of positive tenets ascribed to it. This art form has substantial potential of mending ethnic relations (Dill 2009). Between 1950 and 1960, the ‘beat culture’ acted in challenge of the status quo in a manner that has greatly unified individuals (the youth in particular), across a diverse ethnic spectrum. Recent years have seen mounting controversy surround rap music, and at the heart of the American media. From the West Coast-East Coast hype that marked the murders of rappers Notorious B.I.G and Tupac Shakur, to the castigation of modern music in light of Littleton Colorado’s school shootings, it appears that media and political groups have quickly blamed rap for an apparent trend of youth violence. Rap music, in a similar fashion to other music forms, cannot be comprehended until it is studied minus the frame of its social and historical context. Today, rap music ascribed its origin to the hip hop culture of urban, working-class, young African-Americans, and its roots in the oral traditions of Africans. Its function is seen as the voice of an otherwise underrepresented group, and its popularity has grown along with appropriation and commercialization by the music industry. The paper herein discusses the rap music as a genre and its influence on America (Dill 2009).

Rap’s commercial history can be traced back to 1979, the year during which ‘the Sugar Hill Gang’ released the considerably successful song known as ‘Rappers Delight’. Contemporary rap music’s beginning can be traced back to the mid-1970s in the Bronx. Rap music was a way for the urban black youth to express themselves rhythmically.
