6.1 Mock Dissertation Chapter One Introduction

Overview: As you observed in the LIVE session, there is a connection between chapter three and chapter one. Therefore, as an extension of our week in the mock chapter three from last week, we will write a mock chapter one. For the sake of preparation, we will be using the required headings from the University of the Cumberlands Doctoral Research Handbook.  Like we discuss in class, each university has unique parameters for what they expect in chapter one, so you may see papers from other universities that look slightly different. The importance here is to focus on the content, not necessarily the organization. This assignment will help determine your readiness to write a full-length chapter one.Directions:

1.  develop a 3-4 page (more is fine) mock chapter one that includes all sections of the respective methodology selected. 
   1. You will NOT write a theoretical framework in your mock chapter one as this will be completed in a later week. 

Project Description:

The goal of this project is to perform data analysis using R. The techniques and
skills we have introduced in class will help you along the way.  

Datasets: Dataframes flights, airlines in the nycflights13 package. Other
data can be integrated when needed. 

In this project, you will need to read in the given dataset in RStudio and then
perform the following data analysis using R.
Part I. Reading in the dataset and basic analysis
Pat II. Visualizing relationships between pairs of variables
Part III. Manipulating/ joining/ transforming Data
Part IV. Summarizing data 

For each of the above four topics, please design 5 interesting questions/tasks,
run R commands to get the answers or complete the tasks.  
Sample Questions: Q1. What are the subjects of this dataset? Q2. How
many subjects are there? Q3. What type of variable is origin?Q4. What is
the most common origin? Q5. What is the minimum distance?  

Sample Tasks: T1. Produce a table to summarize the origin variable. T2.
Produce a bar chart of the origin variable. T3. Calculate the mean and standard
deviation of the distance variable. T4. Produce a histogram of the distance
variable. T5. Visualize the relationship between arr_time and sched_arr_time
using scatterplot.

Project Report  
The report should include but not limited to the following components.
1. Title and author(s).  
2. Project Description:

        -Give a brief introduction of the project goal.
       -Describe the basic information of the dataset.
3. Data Analysis and Results:

Critical Thinking Assignment #6: 

Java Program #6 of 6 (70 Points) 

Java Interactive GUI Application for Number Guessing with Colored Hints

 (based on Module 7 material) 

1) Develop a Java application that plays a “guess the number” game as described below.

a) Your application first gets a random number in the range 1-1000 inclusive (you

might want to use Math.random() or the Random class).  

b) The application then displays the following prompt (probably via a JLabel):

I have a number between 1 and 1000.  Can you guess my number? 

Please enter your first guess. 

Post a textbox for the user to enter a number and post a message telling the user to

hit ‘Enter’ after entering a guess in a textbox (probably using a JTextField).  

c) Input the user’s guess in the code for a previously-registered event-handler

method (consider using the event-handling approach discussed in the text, or the

actionPerformed() method of class based on the ActionListener interface, which

will require some additional research outside the text). 

d) For the first guess, color the entire background red, meaning that they are getting

warmer (you might want to use the setBackground() method for a container).  If

this is the second or later guess, and they are further from the correct number than

the last guess, then color the entire background blue.  If they get the correct

number then color the background some other color than red or blue. 

e) If the user guessed the number correctly, respond with their number, post a

congratulatory message, get a new random number, and display a JButton to start

a new game.  Otherwise, to help the user close in on the correct number, post a

message, with their guessed number, whether they are “TOO HIGH” or “TOO

LOW” from the correct number, and whether they are “WARMER” or

“COLDER” (this should match the background color).  Also report the guess

number of the next guess (e.g. “Enter guess number nnn”). You might want to use

a concatenated string in JLabel for these incorrect guess messages.   

f) The process is repeated each game until the user guesses the correct number.  Be

sure that you erase obsolete status messages. 

You must run your program for a scenario where the number is not guessed

correctly for at least 4 (four) tries (it can be more).  A game where you guess the

correct number on the fourth try is acceptable.  You must show all user inputs and

program outputs for this scenario, not just a sample. 

Your submitted output must include the appropriate red or blue background after

each guess.  

You must include at least one “warmer” and one “cooler” result.  

To help you visualize what is required for this program please review the sample

output from the last step in these specifications below.

(This program was taken from Exercise 11.15 on page 592 of Deitel & Deitel’s “Java

How to Program (Sixth Edition)” (2005 by Pearson Publishing Co.)) 

Be sure that you include the course, the program number, your name, and the date in your

program header.  Include additional comments as necessary and maintain consistent

indentation for good programming style as shown in the text.  Be sure that you capture all

of your output for this program’s execution for full credit! 

2) You may use any Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) you choose to

develop your source code, compile and link your code, and execute your program

(jGRASP is recommended).  Or you may use the Windows Command Prompt.  

3) You are to submit the following deliverables in a single Microsoft Word file in this order,

and clearly labeled.  

a) A screen snapshot of your Java source code (all file(s) shown separately)

displayed in the IDE or Windows editor showing a successful compilation if

possible (only the beginning of the source file(s) are necessary).

b) A listing of your entire source code file(s).  

c) A screen snapshot of all of your program’s inputs and outputs for a complete

number guessing game.  Partial screen snapshots from a game will result in lost

points.  

4) Your instructor may compile and run your program to verify its correctness.

5) You will be evaluated on (in order of importance): 

a) Following directions and inclusion and packaging of all deliverables in Step #3. 

b) Correct execution of your program (this includes proper compilation).  This also

includes getting the correct answers! 

c) Proper commenting of your Java code and indentation (as specified in the text).

d) Neatness in packaging of your deliverables (to include putting the items in Step

#3 in the correct order). 

6) Here’s an example of what the output from your application might look like:

8) 

For this assignment you will prepare the third part of your report in which you will identify key stakeholder expectations for the new technology solution and develop a set of requirements.

This section should not exceed four double-spaced pages and must include at least two references. Prior to beginning this assignment, be sure you have read all of the materials, completed the quizzes, participated in the discussions provided in Weeks 5 and 6, and completed the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Assignments. They will prepare you to be successful in writing your paper.

Your task: You have been asked to give a  presentation at an online training session for employees who are now  working from home. The subject of this training session is: Access  Controls and Why They Matter.

Background: Access controls are security features  that are usually considered the first line of defense in asset  protection. They are used to dictate how subjects access objects, and  their main goal is to protect the objects from unauthorized access.  Access control models are frameworks that use access controls to enforce  the rules and objectives of the model (e.g. MAC, DAC, RBAC).

For this training, you should focus on the need to use Access  Controls to protect corporate assets and data which are accessible via  equipment and networks within the Work From Home setting. In your  talking points you should also consider and address the frustrations  that employees may feel when they encounter access controls that are not  set up to allow the same type of “inside” access as employees had when  working on company equipment inside company networks. (Explain why  “turning off” access controls is not an acceptable solution to remote  access to internal networks and resources.) Finally, address some  potential “insider threats” which may exist in the Work From Home  environment that need the countermeasures provided by access controls.  Such threats could include the actions of others residing in the home  who have access to the employee’s laptops or who use the same networks  and network connections.

Format: This week, the format for your deliverable  (posting) will be “Talking Points.” Talking points are presented in  outline format and contain the content that you would put on slides in a  slide deck. Your outline should include 5 to 7 major points (“slide  titles”) followed by 3 to 5 supporting points for each. Remember to put  enough information into the talking points that your peer reviewers can  understand what you intend to cover in each section of your briefing.  Remember to introduce the topic at the beginning, present your analysis,  and then close your briefing with an appropriate summary. Include a  list of sources (3 or more) which attendees could refer to if they wish  to fact check your work.

Suppose you are developing a DSS for a CEO in a U.S. corporation (you may select a specific industry if you like) for strategic planning. One of the tasks of this CEO is to acquire one or more transnational corporations.

Discuss how you would design database access in such a system. Be sure to include:

> How you would integrate corporate databases

> How you would provide unique databases for this system

> How you would integrate public databases, including databases available via the Internet or other public source.

Outline your plan addressing these issues and other issues
