Dear students,

Project assignment is to have you do more research on the topic of Data Analytics and Visualization. In this project, you will need to do some research. Select any software that can help you with data analytics, it can be R programming, it can be Tableau, anything. Research the software and write a paper on its capabilities with examples.

This assignment is worth 100 points.

Here is what needs to be done:

1. Submit at least 2 but no more than 4 pages double spaced, APA style MS Word document.

2. Only 2 graphics or figures allowed.

3. Reference all sources used. Use APA style references.

4. This is an individual work and NOT a group effort.

1. Select one of the three scenarios studied for assignment 7.1. 
2. How would the situation and conclusions change if that scenario were approach from one of the two other methodological approaches than it was.

Imagine that you want to create a robot that does what you do daily. Choose a simple task, such as your preparation to go to bed at night, the morning routine, brushing teeth, walking your dog, etc. Create an algorithm to describe the prime steps to complete the task that would guide the robot to fulfill the job. 

1. Consider a task that can be modeled through a reasonable number of steps, which is at your choice.
2. The algorithm should include decision items when the normal conditions of executing the task are not met. For example, if you model the routine of brushing your teeth, state what happens if you run out of toothpaste, if the water is cold, and so on.
3. Consider including repetition items. For example, while brushing teeth, you brush ten times on each side of the mouth – you can model the repetition with a loop that counts the number of brush strokes.
4. Include at least one decision and one loop in the algorithm

Select one “scenario” from each of the following procedures in Chapter 8: Analytic Procedures, Systems Procedures, and Actors Procedures. From a world view perspective, how are situations similar? How are they different?

Discussion Topic: Define and describe SaaS.

If you have personal experiences, please include those in your response. You must provide references in your responses and document according to APA formatting requirements. Please select Reply to this initial response to discuss how cloud computing has changed how companies budget for software solutions. 

Writing Assignment:  

For week 2, you will write a paper on SaaS. The following are the items to discuss in the paper:

• Define and describe SaaS
• List the benefits of SaaS.
• Describe the potential disadvantages of SaaS
• Describe how a cloud-based database management system differs from an on-site database
• List the computing resources normally provided with SaaS.

Paper requirements:

• Minimum 1400 words (excluding title page, table of contents, and references pages)
• Minimum of 5 references
• Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines

Reminder: Late work is not accepted.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please solve three (3) programming problems related to the content presented in Chapter 12 in your text. You can find the programming problems in the attached file (Module 5 Programming Problems Worksheet.docx (Links to an external site.)).

• Download the worksheet and save it as Mod5-Worksheet-Programming-Last-First.docx. For example, Mod5-Worksheet-Programming-Smith-John.docx.
• Consider the problem, design an algorithm (or algorithms) that would solve the problem, and then implement the algorithm in Java.
• Create a new folder and name it as Mod5-Java-Programming-Last-First, for example, Mod5-Java-Programming-Smith-John.
• Write the source code for each problem and save them as .java files in the folder you created. There are three programming problems for this module so you should have three .java files. Name your java files as Mod5Problem#.java, for example, Mod5Problem1.java.
• Copy data file(s) used for your program and/or output file into the folder.
• Please insert the algorithm written in pseudocode as a comment in the beginning of your program.
• Take screenshots of your running program – you can take screenshots using PrintScreen or any tool that you are familiar with, making sure that the console window in which you run the program appears on the screen.
• Copy the screenshots in the worksheet. If your program has different outcomes, take screenshots of each variation.

Submission

• Compress the folder that saves all of your java files as .zip file. Please note don’t save the worksheet in the same folder as they need to be submitted separately.
• Submit the following two files as attachments by clicking the Submit Assignment button above.
  • Mod5-Java-Programming-Last-First.zip (including .java files, data files, and .txt files).
  • Mod5-Worksheet-Programming-Last-First.docx.

Grading

This assignment is worth 20 points. You can find the grading rubric for each program in the worksheet attached above.

• CycleThrowTryCatch (6 pts.).
• CycleFileOutput (7 pts.).
• CycleFileInput (7 pts.).

Data Quality and Security

The reading in the text provides two key reasons for poor data quality, “the rush to install new systems and the failure to take an integrated view of the organization’s data” (p. 109). Data security breaches seem to occur every other day, and as discussed in the Week Three lecture, there are serious implications for organizations that do not take the necessary measures to ensure data security. Include the following elements in your paper supporting your statements using the required sources for this assignment.

Analyze the role of data in information systems for business and describe the risks that can arise from poor data quality.

Explain the challenges that can result from poor data quality. Provide an example of the results of poor data quality from your own personal or professional experience.

Explain at least two methods of how organizations can ensure good data including the structure and applications necessary.

Analyze the risks of poor data security.

Research an article in the popular media that covers a recent data breach. Explain the impact of the data security breach on the organization and its leaders using evidence from your article.

Explain the role of data governance in keeping data secure.

The Data Quality and Security Paper

Must be two to three double-spaced pages (600-900 words) in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style 

Must include a separate title page with the following:

Title of paper

Student’s name

Course name and number

Instructor’s name

Date submitted

Must use at least two credible sources in addition to the course text.

Use the following headings to organize your paper: Introduction, Question 1, Conclusion, References.

Submit your paper as a Word attachment in the discussion forum. I provide feedback within the paper and will not grade your post unless you submit it as an attachment. Your response to the discussion prompt should contain a minimum of 500 words

Follow the following writing requirements for all of your discussion prompt responses (note that these writing requirements DO NOT apply to your responses to other students):

Writing Requirements for all Assignments:

• References MUST be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.
• Always include a cover page and reference page with all submissions
• Your paper must have headings in it. For discussion posts Introduction, Prompt/Question, and Conclusion will suffice as headings.  
• Provide the EXACT web link for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the EXACT LINK – I check all sources
• No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
• Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)
• Write MORE than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned
• As always, the word count is ONLY for the BODY of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper
• Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces
• Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a power is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.
• Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins
