Project Description:

You are enrolled in a personal finance course at a local university. One of the assignments is to write a group paper with another student about the different types of retirement plans. You and your partner conducted research on the topic and wrote a final draft of the report. In this project, you will format the paper to enhance readability. You will use track changes, accepting and rejecting them as necessary, credit sources used in the preparation of the report, address your partner’s comments, and include a table of contents and an index.

Start Word. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Word_Ch04_CumulativeAssessment_Retirement.docx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename. 

Ensure that the markup view is   All Markup. On the second page, reject the deletion of the word NOW. Change the view to No Markup and   ensure that the word is not duplicated, removing any additional text as   necessary so that only the word NOW is   shown at the end of the sentence.

Accept all other tracked changes   in the document and stop tracking. Keep all comments.

Change the view to Simple Markup   and ensure that document comments are shown. Change all headings as indicated   by comments in the document.

Reply to the first comment by   typing Done (do not include a period). Mark   the first two comments, related to heading styles, as resolved.

Change the writing style to APA   Sixth Edition. Apply the following formatting to all pages of the document,   except the cover page.
 

  Document is double-spaced (with the exception of the included tables).
  The first line of every paragraph includes a first-line indent of 0.5” (with   the exception of heading lines, the included tables, and bulleted lines).
  No paragraph spacing is included.

Click or position the insertion   point before the period at the end of the first sentence of the 403(b) Plans section on page 6. The   sentence ends in (TSA) plan. Insert   the following Web site citation, clicking or selecting Show All Bibliography   Fields, if necessary, to ensure access to all open areas:
  Name of Web Page: Choosing a Retirement Plan: 403(b) Tax-Sheltered   Annuity Plan

  Name of Web Site: IRS
  Year: 2022
  Month: October
  Day: 14
  URL: http://www.revenue.net/RetirementPlans/401(k)

Edit the Traditional and Roth IRAs source shown after the second table in   the document, changing the Year to 2023.

Create a blank page at the end   of the report and insert a bibliography with the title Works Cited. Edit the 401(k)   source (shown in the 401(k) section of the report), changing the Day to 15. Choose to update both the   master list and current document. Update the bibliography to reflect the   change.

Format the bibliography at   double spacing with no paragraph spacing before or after. All text in the   bibliography, including the Works Cited title, should be 12 pt Times New   Roman. The Works Cited title should be centered and shown with each word   capitalized (not in all uppercase). If necessary, click or display the Home   tab, click or select Change Case in the Font group, and select Capitalize   Each Word to change the title. Ensure that no text is bold.

Insert a blank page after the   cover page. Create a table of contents, with an Automatic Table 1 style, on   the new page. Note: Mac users, create a Classic style table of contents.

Insert a page break before the   second table, so that the entire table is shown on one page.

Mark the following words as   index entries, selecting Mark All for each: contribution, Roth IRA, Traditional   IRA, 403(b), and 401(k). Select the first occurrence of   deduction and set a cross-reference   as See contribution.

• Find one article that discusses the globalization of the IT and/or computing industry and one article that discusses some aspects of security issues in the IT and/or computing industry.
• Prepare a 2 pages paper/report of the articles (double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font) summarizing the articles.

Keep in mind the following questions as you search the literature and if possible try to address as many of them as you can in your report, based on information on your sources:

• What is globalization? What is security?

Do they represent a problem or an opportunity?

• Winners and losers in a global IT economy with respect to globalization and security.
• Which type of jobs are affected by globalization (i.e., outsourced), which type of jobs are not. 
• Are there any new jobs being created by globalization and or security concerns, if so what type?
• As a future professional in the computing field, how can you position yourself better to avoid suffering from being displaced by globalization or take advantage of security concerns in your company?
• Impact of globalization and security issues on academia. Do universities need to adjust their CS/CIS curriculum and if so how?
• What ethical, political, cultural, or legal issues need to be addressed because of globalization and security issues?
• Conclusion
• References

Research Project Poster Presentation

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your preliminary idea for your research project. The PowerPoint presentation must include the following:

• Background      on the problem (1-2 slides)
• Explanation      of the problem to be studied (1-2 slides). Include evidence that the      problem is current and significant
• The      overarching research question(s) (1 slide)
• Identify      at least three scholarly sources that directly inform the project. The      sources should be relevant and recent.

Research Project Annotated Bibliography

Begin organizing the research and topics for your project using an annotated bibliography. The format of the annotated bibliography is a reference to the article, formatted per APA 7th edition, and an annotation or summary of the article. The summary should include important topics and how the topic relates to your research. Your annotations should cover three areas (typically formatted in three paragraphs):

• Summary:      What did the author do? Why? What did he/she find?
• Analysis:      Was the author’s method sound? What information was missing? Is this a      scholarly source?
• Application:      Does this article fill a gap in the literature? How would you be able to      apply this method/study to your study? Is the article universal?

Writing annotated bibliographies will help you develop the skills to critically read and identify key points within an article. This will help you determine the validity and usefulness of the articles in relation to your research topic.

Research Project Extended Annotated Bibliography

Continue organizing the research and topics for your project using an annotated bibliography. The format of the annotated bibliography is a reference to the article, formatted per APA 7th edition, and an annotation or summary of the article. The summary should include important topics and how the topic relates to your research. Your annotations should cover three areas (typically formatted in three paragraphs):

• Summary:      What did the author do? Why? What did he/she find?
• Analysis:      Was the author’s method sound? What information was missing? Is this a      scholarly source?
• Application:      Does this article fill a gap in the literature? How would you be able to      apply this method/study to your study? Is the article universal?

Writing annotated bibliographies will help you develop the skills to critically read and identify key points within an article. This will help you determine the validity and usefulness of the articles in relation to your research topic.

Research Project Literature Review

You will submit the literature review of your research paper. The literature review will form the main body of your final research paper. This will be where you provide a synthesis of the articles you have found related to your topic. When writing a literature review, you should include or consider the following:

• An      introduction and a conclusion
• Avoid      direct quotes.
• Organize      by topic or theme rather than by author
• Use      headings
• Show      relationships and consider the flow of ideas

 You will schedule and conduct an informational interview by phone, online, or face to face if the situation allows. Your Career Mentor must be someone who has experience in your field of interest and has been involved in hiring. Your mentor should have a minimum of three years of experience in the industry, and background or knowledge of the hiring process for entry-level candidates in their field.
