This assignment consists of two (2) parts: a project schedule, and a written response. You must submit both parts as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the part of the assignment it is written for.Part A: Project Schedule
(Submit as one [1] Microsoft Project file)
1.Create a multi-level work breakdown structure (WBS) and detailed project schedule, using the information from the “Greendale Stadium Case” located at the end of Chapter 6, and incorporating the following constraints.
Note: When you create your MS Project schedule, you will need to update your project per the following constraints: ◦The project must consist of at least twenty (20) tasks.
◦Each task must have a start and finish date that matches the duration noted in the assignment.
◦Each task must be assigned to a resource (e.g., Demolishing Crew; Construction Crew; Landscaping Crew).
◦Assume that the crew works during normal weekdays (no weekend work) under normal conditions (8 hours per day).
◦In terms of holidays, you can assume no work will be done the following days: New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Good Monday, Friday before Memorial Day, Memorial Day, the business day before Independence Day, Independence Day, the Friday before Labor Day, Labor Day, the day before Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving), the business day before Christmas, Christmas Day, the business day after Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve.Part B: Written Response
(Submit as a Microsoft Word file)
1.Respond to the following questions in a one to two (1-2) page paper based on your project schedule. ◦When will the project be completed?
◦What is the critical path for the project?
◦How much slack / float is in your project? What activities have the greatest slack / float?
◦Identify the top three (3) activities that you believe could impact the project completion date.
◦What additional activities you would add to this project to make it more complete, from a project management viewpoint?2.Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements: ◦Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
◦Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

You are given a very special rectangular prism. The length, width, and height of the cube are all variable. If X is greater than or equal to 10 units, Y is equal to double the amount of X. Otherwise, Y is equal to half the amount of X. If Y is greater than or equal to 20 units, Z is equal to one-fourth of the amount of Y. Otherwise, Z is equal to 3 times the amount of Y.
Write a program where the user inputs a value of X, and the values of Y and Z are computed using the above instructions. The program then calls a function that RETURNS the volume of the prism, and another function that RETURNS the surface area of the prism. Finally, the program displays the volume and surface area of the prism.
• Question 1A ). Draw a flowchart for this problem. You may draw flow chart(s) on paper and take a picture that you can email yourself and insert below, OR draw the flow chart(s) in Word below. IF YOU ARE DRAWING YOUR FLOWCHART BY HAND, MAKE SURE TEXT IN YOUR FLOWCHART IS UPPERCASE.
• Question 1B Write the Pseudocode for this problem.
• Question 1C Write the Python code for this problem below.

Project Schedule guideline:-

In project schedule you will make changes for the constraints too and make the project schedule according to the data given in your case. Following are some examples to prepare project schedule. It is simple, you just need to type the activity name and duration in which it will be completed and mention number of predecessors. Predecessor in normal terms we can say is the task which is required to be completed to start the new task or we can say it is previous task. For example, to build the road, purchasing of land is the predecessor activity because without land how we can start building road.

Please visit this link to have better understanding about predecessor:-

 You have recently been hired as a Chief Information Governance Officer (CIGO) at a large company (You may choose your industry). This is a newly created position and department within the organization that was founded on the need to coordinate all areas of the business and to provide governance of the information. You will need to hire for all positions within your new department.

The company has been in business for more than 50 years and in this time has collected vast amounts of data. Much of this data has been stored in hard copy format in filing cabinets at an offsite location but in recent times, collected business data is in electronic format stored in file shares. Customer data is being stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are currently no policies in place to address the handling of data, business or customer. The company also desires to leverage the marketing power of social media, but has no knowledge of the types of policies or legal issues they would need to consider. You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be collected to ensure that the information governance program is effective.

The CEO and Board of Directors have tasked you to develop a proposal (paper) that will give them the knowledge needed to make informed decisions on an enterprise-wide Information Governance program, addressing (at a minimum) all of these issues, for the company.  

Many people believe that the use of biometrics is an invasion of privacy. For example, an eye scanning device records the inner structure of a person’s eye and stores that image in a database. Critics worry that databases of human traits used to maintain corporate security may actually pose a privacy threat to individuals, if such data were used in other ways. In your view, are such concerns justified? Why or why not?

Consider the following set of requirements for a UNIVERSITY database that is used to keep track of student’s transcripts.

1. The university keeps track of each student’s name, student number, Social Security number, current address and phone number, permanent address and phone number, birth date, sex, class (freshman, sophomore, …, graduate), major department, minor department (if any), and degree program (B.A., B.S., …, Ph.D.). Some user applications need to refer to the city, state, and ZIP Code of the student’s permanent address and to the students the last name. Both Social Security number and student number have unique values for each student.
2. Each department is described by a name, department code, office number, office phone number, and college. Both name and code have unique values for each department.
3. Each course has a course name, description, course number, number of semester hours, level, and offering department. The value of the course number is unique for each course.
4. Each section has an instructor, semester, year, course, and section number. The section number distinguishes sections of the same course that are taught during the same semester/year; its values are 1, 2, 3, …, up to the number of sections taught during each semester.
5. A grade report has a student, section, letter grade, and numeric grade (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4).

Create an ER Diagram, listing all cardinality constraints and assumptions.

Discussion1:

  Each  student will locate and review an article that discusses how a company  went through the recovery process after a disaster. The article should  not be older than 5 years old. The review of the article should be  between 400-to-550 words and should summarize the article content along  with your review of how the recovery process went. Please include how it  applies to topics for the week, and why you found it interesting.   ***Standard for all discussion posts:   Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:    

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic 
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor 
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic 
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail 
• Share an applicable personal experience 
• Provide  an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that  applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic  or the source (please cite properly in APA 7) 
• Make an argument concerning the topic 

At  least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion  thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources  from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

Discussion 2:

 A fundamental component of internal  control is the separation of duties for high-risk transactions. The  underlying separation of duties concept is that no individual should be  able to execute a high-risk transaction, conceal errors, or commit fraud  in the normal course of their duties. You can apply separation of duties at  either a transactional or an organizational level. For example, payroll  has access to employee financial records, but only payroll managers can  approve raises. Answer the following question(s): 

1. How do you define a high-risk transaction?
2. If you were a security  professional in a company, what are four roles (two sets of two related  roles) you would separate and why? Provide examples not mentioned in the  description for this discussion.

Fully address the questions in this  discussion; provide valid rationale for your choices, where applicable;  and respond to at least two other students’ views.

our task is to write a literary research paper on Toni Morrison’s Sula. The following steps will enable you to generate a topic and to choose your research materials. 

1. Your final project, due no later than May 12, must contain the following  components, collected  in a file:
2. A sentence outline
3. At least one complete rough copy which is significantly different from your final copy. Works Cited
4. Final copy of fives pages

Follow the MLA format for all citations and your bibliography!

1. In addition to Sula, you must use at least three secondary sources. These must consist of scholarly articles (from JSTOR, PRoject Muse or journals) or books from the library. Other internet sources, unless they have been approved by me beforehand, are not acceptable. You may also cite other texts by Toni Morrison or other relevant authors. Although most of your sources must address the novel, you may use one or two sources which deal with topics related to your project but not to the novel.

The following steps are due in this order:1)Thesis, Sentence Outline, and  March 22, 20212)Rough Copy May 1, 202013)Final Copy    May 12, 2021These are some helpful tools: 1) Prompts: https://www.gradesaver.com/sula/study-guide/essay-questions2)Instructions for integrating quotations:http://facultyweb.ivcc.edu/rrambo/eng1001/quotes.htm3) see the Outline form that I sent and will post again.Papers must be a minimum of five pages. Format: 5 pages, double-spaced, font size 12, one inch margins *  Avoid plagiarism by being honest with yourself and by following the proper procedures for note taking and giving the author credit for using his works.* Be cautious with long quotations.  Each citation must be incorporated into your argument, and not simply pasted in. Lengthy citations require lengthy analysis! When in doubt, employ textual analysis (close reading). *     Do not use Cliff notes, Spark notes, or other sources of this type. These should only be used as an overview to help you gain an understanding of your primary source. Students are tempted to plagiarize using these sources, so be very careful not to fall into this trap. Do not use online research papers written by other students or other professionals. This is blatant plagiarism without a doubt. *    Remember that your essay should be a scholarly interpretation supported by research and not simply a summary. Also keep in mind that this is an academic research paper and not an editorial. This requires a certain amount of scholarly and analytical distance.Pay close attention to the language and details in the text itself. Observe how the critics you use respond to the same details, and integrate these findings into your paper.

Question:

During the next four months, a customer requires, respectively, 500, 650, 1000, and 700 units

of a commodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is, the customer’s requirements must be

met on time). Production costs are $50, $80, $40, and $70 per unit during these months. The

storage cost from one month to the next is $20 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is

estimated that each unit on hand at the end of Month 4 can be sold for $60. Assume there is no

beginning inventory:

● Determine how to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next

four months.

● Use SolverTable to see what happens to the decision variables and the total cost when

the initial inventory varies from 0 to 1000 in 100-unit increments.

● How much lower would the total cost be if the company started with 100 units in

inventory, rather than none?

● Would this same cost decrease occur for every 100 -unit increase in initial inventory?

The readings this week expand on investigation and of digital forensic analysis and investigations. Organizations, especially those in the public, health and educational areas are bound by legal and statutory requirements to protect data and private information, therefore digital forensics analysis will be very beneficial when security breaches do occur. Using this weeks readings and your own research, discuss digital forensics and how it could be used in a risk management program.

2 pages and no plagiarism
