Describe, in 350 words, an example of a very poorly implemented database that you’ve used or know that illustrates the potential for really messing things up. Explain an analysis of what might have caused the problems and potential solutions for them.

This week’s journal article focuses on attribution theory and how it influences the implementation of innovation technologies.  Two types of employee attributions are noted in the article (intentionality and deceptive intentionality), please review these concepts and answer the following questions:

1. Provide a high-level overview/ summary of the case study
2. Note how constructive intentionality impacts innovation implementations
3. Find another article that adds to the overall findings of the case and note how attribution-based perspective enhances successful innovation implementations.  Please be explicit and detailed in answering this question.

   A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

• 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
• APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Create a PowerPoint that contains a FLOWCHART and a PSEUDOCODE for each problem (You may use a different application if PowerPoint is not available).

Use the information below to create a pseudocode (which can be a text-based description for solving the problems) and a flowchart (using flowchart symbols to illustrate how you would program) to solve each problem. Use Microsoft PowerPoint® for Pseudocode and the flowchart (You may use a different application if PowerPoint is not available)..

• Problem 1: Create a list that contains the months of the year.
• Problem 2: Create a loop to print the month number and name (do not hard code the month number)

 In 250-300 words outline your dissertation topic related to Big Data Analytics and goals for this semester as they relate to your dissertation course. If you do not have a dissertation topic please revert those you are considering. Also, include ways that you could improve your dissertation, as well as areas you may be struggling with 

Graphs (Help! Really challenging assignment. Would appreciate any bit of help!)

Family tree’s and genealogy software has become more and more prevalent in recent years. From the name you might expect that a family tree would be easily represented by a tree structure, but that is not the case! A more appropriate data structure to represent a family tree would be a type of graph. Using the description of the family that accompanies this assignment, you must represent this family using a graph structure. The graph needs to be a weighted graph. The weights will constitute the types of relationships, I recommend using some kind mapping between numbers and strings to represent the relationships. When adding family members to the graph, this can be done programmatically for the provided family members within the description file. Additionally, I also want there to be an interface in which a user can create a new family member and add them to the tree. This can be a simple CLI where the user provides a name, gender, and age to create a person. Then another simple CLI where they select which member of the family they want the original relationship to be with and what kind of relationship it should be. Finally, they can edit the family member using another CLI and selecting the family member they wish to edit, the operation they wish to perform (edit name, edit age, edit relationship), and then add new relationship between family members which can call a function that you create in order to add the original relationship. Remember the DRY philosophy, where code can be modularized or made into a function, it should be if you plan on using the logic again.

Finally, I want you to make data assertions within the FamilyTree class that enforce certain “rules” that exist in a typical human family. An example would be a person should not have any kind of relationship to itself (a person can not marry themselves, a person can not be their own brother, sister, father, mother, etc.). There should be at least 3 data assertions. These should exists as part of the family tree, not as part of the graph.

As a hint, for a successful design: I would recommend using layers of abstraction. Your graph class is the backing structure to the family tree class. Your family tree should implement methods that interface with the graph class, i.e. add_family_member() should call the constructor to create a node and then call a function within the graph class to add a node to the graph. Then using the relationships function parameter, you can add edges to the graph between the new nodes and the existing nodes. The family tree should be what enforces what relationships can exist through the data assertions, the graph does not care about what relationships are made between family members. Your functions that the user would interface with would be greatly reduced compared to the total number of methods within the classes themselves. The user should be able to add, remove, and modify family members and that’s about it. Therefore those should be your function calls.

Submission Goals

(120 pts.) Create a FamilyTree class that will represent a family tree for a given family.
The class should contain several types of relationships that commonly happen within a family (siblings, marriage, offspring, etc.)

(40 pts.) Programmatically add the family members to the graph as described by the accompanying family description file.
(40 pts.) Give data assertions to the FamilyTree class to enforce restrictions for basic family structure (at least 3); i.e A person can not marry themselves.

(40 pts.) Provide a simple CLI the enables users to add, remove, and edit family members.

 Define several forms of metadata that can be useful to an investigation. How are valuable to an investigator? 

Need in a word document with no less than 25o words.

PART 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT SCENARIO (20%) 

This part of the in-course assessment is intended to address Learning Outcomes 1, 2. For this part of the assessment, you are required to critically scope and author a project management case scenario which should contain sufficient appropriate detail for analysis and determination of an IT-related project management strategy, plan and toolset. This scenario could be fictitious or based on a real business need.Start with describing the business case and value(s) of the project, then add both qualitative and quantitative details to explain the scenario in more depth. The data might be used in the formulation of your plan or toolset. You can use appendices for finer details.

Word count for Part1: approx. 1,000 words (guideline only).

PART 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY & PLAN (50%) 

This part of the in-course assessment is intended to address Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7.  In this part of the assessment you will review, develop and defend a case for adopting a specific project management life cycle (PMLC) and develop a suitable project management plan. The aim is to demonstrate knowledge of alternative philosophies and project planning artefacts, critically evaluating which broad methodological approach (and toolset) would fit your described project scenario. It is therefore expected that you will analyse your scenario, compare and contrast project management approaches, then select the most appropriate ones for your scenario and justify your choices. 

Word count for Part 2: approx. 2,000 words (guideline only).

PART 3: TOOLSET (30%) 

This part of the in-course assessment is intended to address Learning Outcomes 3, 4.  In this part of the submission you are required to employ a suitable toolset portfolio, demonstrating how the tools advocated would / could be applied to the given project management scenario. You may use live case data, plausible invented data, or an exemplar, illustrative presentation of critical tools in your toolset. 

Word count for Part 3: approx. 300 words (guideline only),plus associated illustrations

1. Identify your field of study (Psychology), the career you chose, and explain why you chose it ( To work with children in my local school system of Fayette County, GA).
2. Find two sources from the web and two sources from the South  University Online library about your field. List your four sources in  APA format at the bottom of your post.
3. Share examples of APA in-text citations which will go in the body of your post for two of your references.

When responding to others, comment on search tips that worked for  you, or on why you think academic and professional writing requires such  rigorous documentation in the form of references and in-text citations.

Note that from this week on throughout your college career, the  grading criterion that mentions information literacy includes the  requirement of providing references in APA format to support your ideas.
