Discussion and Assignment

 

WEEK 7 – DISCUSSION

In no less than 250 words, describe the difference between a fat AP and a thin AP. What is needed to deploy a thin AP? Are there any security considerations to think about between the 2 different APs?

Week 7 – Discussion

Have you or someone you know ever received a chain letter, phishing message, or some other fraudulent message via email? If so, please share this experience. Explain what type of message it was and what you did to get rid of it.(250 words)

Methods of Analysis

 Have you ever felt that there is a disconnect between scholarly research and practical application? While this research took place quite a while ago, Parnin and Orso (2011) identified that in thirty years of scholarly research on debugging programming code there were five research papers that included participants to test the theories.

Think about that for a minute. How do you generate research results, without analysis? What constitutes testing the results?

  • For this week’s discussion find a scholarly research article available in the University of the Cumberlands’ library and less than 10 years old.
  • The article you identify must include research that is practically applicable. (The research article must not be theoretical in nature.)
  • The research must include everything you would need in order to repeat the research.
  • The research must include testing the research with participants, other than the authors of the article. For example, the five research articles Parnin and Orso (2011) identify in their research. The participants do not need to be people; they could be parts, equipment, or products.

Once you find this scholarly research article discuss the following in your post:

  • Briefly identify the objective of the research in the selected article.
  • How was the data tested? What are the assumptions of this test? Is that information in the article? Were there enough participants to make the results meaningful?
  • What about this research separates it from research that does not include participants?
  • In the context of the research article, did the use of participants reduce or increase the generalizability when compared to theoretical research? Is that good or bad? Why or why not?

Week 5 Research QUANTITATIVE VS QUALITATIVE

  

Qualitative vs Quantitative

Background: Quantitative data can be measured and documented with numbers. Additionally, quantitative data can be represented as quantities. On the other hand, qualitative data is not measured with numbers, but it is represented by qualities. For example, I use quantitative methods to conduct my PhD research because I like working with counts and measures.

Assignment: Write a research paper the contains at least the following using your own wording.   This must be your own wording.  Reword all the information you gather from all sources. 

Discuss Quantitative Methodology

Discuss Qualitative Methodology

Compare and contrast qualitative data vs quantitative data

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Section, Professor’s name, and Date.

Final Project – Network

Topic –  Network Access Control and Cloud Security 

 The project must be a Word document that is 4-5 pages (double-spaced). Please attach reference.

Research Paper

This week’s journal article was focused on the Complexity of Information Systems Research in the Digital World.  Complexity is increasing as new technologies are emerging every day.  This complexity impacts human experiences.  Organizations are turning to digitally enabled solutions to assist with the emergence of digitalization. 

Please review the article and define the various technologies that are emerging as noted in the article.  Note how these emerging technologies are impacting organizations and what organizations can to do to reduce the burden of digitalization.

 The paper should meet the following requirements:

  • 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
  • APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

InfoTech Import in Strat Plan (ITS-831)

Discussion: IT Project Management

Word Count: 300+ words

What is a project, and what are its main attributes? How is a project different from what most people do in their day-to-day jobs? Discuss the importance of top management commitment and the development of standards for successful project management. Provide examples to illustrate the importance of these items based on your experience on any type of project. Discuss the unique challenges that an IT project presents.

Provide an outside source that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)

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

Discussion – Global Networking

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. 

Note: Minimum 250 words. Pargraph should be a minimum of 3-5 sentences. At least one scholarly source should be used. Use proper citation and references.
