I want you to identify the paper that was the best one of the semesters, and

the paper that was the worst one of all these papers below. You should name

each of them, and provide just a couple of sentences describing why you

choose them. Then use the scholarly search tools we listed early in the

semester to find current papers (2020 onward) on the same two general

topics. For example, if one of your choices is the paper that focused on

Multics virtual memory, you probably wouldn’t find much that is current and

specifically references Multics, but you could certainly find papers on some

aspect of virtual memory. So again, find a current paper on each of those two

topics. Then write the usual summary and reaction for each of them with the

headings. (Note: don’t forget which papers you chose for best and worst.)

Design a class Student that contains the following members:1- String fields firstName, lastName and status.
2- char field letterGrade.
3- double fields grade1, grade2, grade3
4- double field average
5- A two-argument constructor that takes firstName and lastName as parameters.
6- computeAverage method. Take into account that you will have different number of grades depending on the student.
7- computeStatus method (If average is < 70, the status will be “Failing”. Otherwise, the status is “Passing”)
8- computeLetterGrade method (If average >= 90 letterGrade is ‘A’, If average >= 80 letterGrade is ‘B’, If average >= 70 letterGrade is ‘C’, If average >= 60 letterGrade is ‘D’, else letterGrade is ‘F’)
9- get and set methods for all fields.
Design a class StudentList that contains the following members:
1- An ArrayList of Student objects students.
2- readStudents method that prompts the user for an input file name (use JFileChooser) and reads the contents of the input file into students. You can expect the file to be a text file with the following format:
firstName|lastName|Grade1|Grade2 //Student 1
firstName|lastName|Grade1|Grade2|Grade3 //Student 2
firstName|lastName|Gra de1 //Student 3
firstName|lastName //Student 4
…
Sample input file contents:
Rodolfo|Cruz|78.6|99.7
Maria|Vargas|90.5|100|100
Julio|Perez|78.1
Juan|Rodriguez
Notes:
use String.Split() method to parse the input.
• The file could have any length; therefore, you cannot make assumptions about how many students you’ll find in the file.
• You can assume that the information for every student will include firsName, LastName and between 0 and 3 grades.
• Need to populate the average, status and letterGrade fields as appropriate.3- saveStudentsToDB method that prompts the user for an DataBase file name (use JFileChooser) and writes the contents of students to the DB. The database will contain the table StudentsTbl with the following columns: ID (ignore), FirstName, LastName, Grade1, Grade2, Grade3, Average, Status and LetterGrade.
4- findStudent method that prompts the user for a student name and last name and shows a message indicating that the student was either found or not found in the DB. Continue asking the user until the user enters end.
5- writeStudents method that prompts the user for an output file name (use JFileChooser) and writes the contents of the StudentsTbl from the DB to the output file with the following format:
Name Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Average Letter Status
Grade
Rodolfo Cruz 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 A Passing
Julio Perez 60.00 60.00 60.00 60.00 F Failing6- writeSortedStudents method that prompts the user for an output file name (use JFileChooser) and writes the contents of the StudentsTbl from the DB to the output file in ascending order of average (use order by SQL clause) with the following format:
Name Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Average Letter Status
Grade
Rodolfo Cruz 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 A Passing
Julio Perez 60.00 60.00 60.00 60.00 F FailingCreate a class TestStudents to test your work. This class will have a main that looks exactly like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
StudentList studentList = new StudentList();studentList.readStudents();
studentList.saveStudentsToDB();
studentList.writeStudents();
studentList.writeSortedStudents();
studentList.findStudent();
}

Assigned Readings:Chapter 7. International Law.Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. Define expropriation, explain how it effects a county’s investments in foreign counties, and how counties respond to it.
2. Sprockets Unlimited, a United States corporation, is considering doing business in a foreign country that is known to have an unstable government and corrupt politicians; however, the market could be lucrative and greatly expand Sprockets Unlimited’s profits.  What consideration should Sprockets Unlimited consider before doing so?  Could the United States not allow Sprockets Unlimited to do business in this country?

Using a word crowed visualization tool of your choice (e.g. https://tagcrowd.com), analyze President Biden’s Address to a Joint Session of Congress delivered on April 28, 2021.

The transcript of the speech is available here:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/04/29/remarks-by-president-biden-in-address-to-a-joint-session-of-congress/

Provide detailed analysis of what you noticed and understood from the resulting visual report.

(Maximum 600 words)

Make sure to include a screenshot of the resulting tagcrowd.

Make sure to exclude common words such as ‘America’, ‘American’, ‘applause’, ‘days’, ‘years’ etc. that do not add significance to understand the content of the message in your tag-crowed analysis.

 Respond to the peer discussion with at least 75 words.

Discussion Topic:

In this module, we have studied various types of software development methodologies. Discuss.

Peer Response: 

 The application of standards sets the foundation for the decisions you will make throughout the development process and also allows you to have a good measure of how well the project is executed.  Without a suitable set of standards in place, a project will tend to run its own course and will be difficult to organize. 

• using technologies such as Kaltura, PowerPoint, or any other tool to explain the concepts learned during the week.

Initial Post Instructions

This week you learned how to collaborate with others online. Based on what you learned, which features did you find most beneficial and how could you use these in your current workplace? Why is online collaboration so important? Is this something that is needed in the healthcare environment? Which tools do you use to collaborate today?

1. Select a subfield of Artificial intelligence that interests you. Find an example of current work (no more than 5 years old) on this topic and research on it. Franklin’s library is a great resource where you can find many books, papers and conference proceedings in AI.
2. For what you pick, write a summary report with your answers to the following questions as best as you can:
   1. What is the problem being solved?
   2. What approach does it take to solve it?
   3. Is there anything unique or different or special about this approach that makes it different from other similar approaches? (There almost always is.)
   4. How well does it work?
   5. Do they talk about what they want to do next, in terms of new functionality, or new approaches?
3. The paper should be 1-2 pages, and should talk about these issues in your own words. Anyone can quote Wikipedia or a section of someone’s web page.  What I want to see is you distilling the information and explaining what’s going on. You must cite your sources appropriately.
