Making Practical Connection

 

Welcome to Applied Learning Practicum! 

Executive format programs have an applied learning component (internship/practicum) that is an integral (essential) part of the established curriculum. These programs require the student take part in an internship (that is offered by the sponsoring employer through a cooperative agreement with the school), job shadow experience, or job reflection experience.

The INTR course serves as one way to help students reflect and connect their coursework to their practical work experience. This course is one of several integrated components that connect the practical experience to the curriculum. In this course, students can choose to participate in an alternative work-study, internship, cooperative education, or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) in an area directly related to the student’s course of study.

Due to the embedded practical experience component in the curriculum, students must identify their work-study, internship, cooperative education experience by the start of the term.

Please answer the following questions to identify what you have done to prepare for success in your INTR course this semester.

Question 1 – Briefly explain any steps you are taking, or plan to take, to gain hands-on experience in your program of study. (50 – 100 words)

Question 2 – State two goals you hope to achieve through applying your coursework this term to your workplace experience. (50 – 100 words)

In a short essay

  

1. In a short essay discuss the pros and cons of nesting organizational units within other organizational units. How does this type of structure affect GPO processing?2. In a short essay, discuss the use of PowerShell in automating account management. What is a batch file? Name and describe three commands to manage accounts.3. The policy settings on domain member computers can be affected by domain GPOs linked to the site, domain, or OU in Active Directory. The Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) stores Starter GPOs in a folder named StarterGPOs, located on the shared sysvol folder found on domain controllers. In a ½ page essay explain how you would implement GPOs on a small manufacturing company’s network.4. In a short essay, define and describe the use of the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in.5. Research user account objects in Active Directory. What restrictions apply to user account objects? In a 1 page essay (double-spaced), discuss the format of the user account naming scheme for a global organization. How would the user account naming structure differ for a network that has an international subsidiary in Singapore? How would alphabetizing the user name list differ in Asia? What recommendations would you suggest?

data warehous, bigdata, green computing

 

This week’s written activity is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (2-3 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (2-3 pages):  One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 7-10 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 9-12 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find supplemental resources.

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Analyzing & Visualizing Data

 

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which  is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at  Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John  Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different  implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code  written for S runs unaltered under R.

Why  are statistical programming languages important to data scientists?   Please provide a specific use case for a data scientist to apply a  statistical language to a data set.   What are some advantages and disadvantages the R programming language has over the other main statistical programming languages (i.e. Python, SAS, SQL)?

We assume that the standard input contains a sequence of non-zero integers between – 121 and 121, which ends with 0. This sequence will be given by the user

 Write an algorithm, called Decomposition_Powers_Three, which produces the  decomposition of each integer using powers of 3, namely 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81, and the +  and – operators. Each power of 3 should appear at most once in the decomposition. Examples: 1 = 1  2 = 3 – 1  3 = 3  4 = 3 + 1  7 = 9 – 3 + 1  14 = 27 – 9 – 3 – 1  43 = 81 – 27 – 9 – 3 + 1  121 = 81 + 27 + 9 + 3 + 1 2. Show that the algorithm Decomposition_Powers_Three is correct using an informal proof  (i.e., discussion). 3. Give a program corresponding to Decomposition_Powers_Three, using any of your  favorite programming languages. Observation: The intervals [-121,-41], [-40,-14], [-13,-5], [-4,-2], [-1,-1], [1,1], [2,4], [5,13],  [14,40], and [41,121] play a particular role. 

Research paper and dicsussion

Task 1:

 This week, you have read about entrepreneurship in a global economy. For your written assignment this week, complete a case study of the organization you work for (use a hypothetical or “other” organization if more applicable) that will address the following prompts:

  • Describe the organization’s environment, and evaluate its preparedness to go global, if not already, and it’s strategy for staying global if it is.
  • Research other company’s strategy for going global and explain if this will or will not work for your company. 
  • Make a recommendation for a global strategy in the organization, including a justification for your recommendations.

Submit your  research paper as a single document. Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Task 2: Discussion -> 300 – 350 words.

Networks have changed drastically over the last 30 years.  With the first introduction of the 56k modem, which was about 3 typewriter pages per second, to speeds well over 1Gbps these days, the ability to use networks globally, has changed the way we do business.  Using research, determine where networks will go in the next 5-10 years and how that might impact the global economy.
