Ensure you read all of this information for the first assignment.

1) The assignment instructions are in a separate file named Assignment 1 Instructions.

2) When you finish your assignment, submit the research paper and programmed R Script here. You are not done yet!!

3) After submitting assignment 1 here, open the Assignment 1 Peer Review. After you enter, follow the prompts. The system will ask that you copy and paste parts of your research paper into Blackboard.

For the assignment due next Thursday, you will revisit Assignment 1 Peer Review. When you enter next week you will not be prompted to answer questions about your research. You will be prompted to evaluate a peer’s responses to the prompts. If you do not submit your responses this week, you will not be able to provide a peer review next week, forfeiting the points for that assignment.

This method will ensure that anonymity is maintained when conducting peer reviews. Ensure you allow enough time to submit the assignment here and answer the questions for assignment 1 in Assignment 1 Peer Review.

Examine the survey results downloadable from the link below. Choose one of the items, determine the descriptive statistic that is reported, and indicate what it means. For example, “What is the highest level of education of this group?” (Please do not repeat the same topic as your classmates.)

 Many people believe that the use of biometrics is an invasion of privacy. For example, an eye scanning device records the inner structure of a person’s eye and stores that image in a database. Critics worry that databases of human traits used to maintain corporate security may actually pose a privacy threat to individuals, if such data were used in other ways. In your view, are such concerns justified? Why or why not?

I am not looking for long posts. Ten or more sentences for each post of ORIGNAL writing will suffice. I do not want to see paragraph after paragraph of copied material. Your post will be checked by SafAssign for similarity. 

If you use references they MUST include in-text citations where the information is used. If the information is a direct quote from a source it MUST be in parentheses. Otherwise, you are at risk of plagiarism. However, you do not have to use the APA Edition 6 format (template with fonts, heading, etc.) in the discussions.

Ignorance of APA Edition 6 citing and referencing is not acceptable in graduate-level work. If you do not use it you may be accused of plagiarism.
