Select your final project topic. It must be unique. It should be a high level topic related to this course. Pick a topic that you will learn something from or that will be useful in your work. It must be specific not generic. Your final project will consist of a 12 minutes, 12 slide powerpoint presentation that you will present at residency and a 1 page single spaced summary and an annotated reference list as described below all of which will be submitted in Week 15. 

You must also respond to two of your peers’ proposals. Help them make a better, more focused, and more interesting presentation. 

Defend your choice of topic in 500 words or more. Include at least 3 expert supporting quotes surrounded by quotation marks and cited in-line. Provide an annotated reference list at the end. Annotations consist of two paragraphs of at least five sentences each about each of at least five references. The first paragraph should summarize the content of the source and the second are your thoughts or reflections about the source.

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.

ANALYSIS: Using 300-350 words, write a brief analysis, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. An analysis is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format and only use journal articles

In chapter 7, the author briefly discusses how to deploy a smart contract. You’re using Ganache in your labs, but you’ll learn in future chapters about public test blockchains and production (live) blockchains. Once you deploy a smart contract, that smart contract code is stored on the blockchain forever (remember immutability?) Understanding that you cannot simply overwrite previously deployed smart contracts, contrast approaches to deploying traditional applications and blockchain apps. Does blockchain make deployments easier or harder? Are there any potential risks when deploying blockchain apps that either don’t exist in traditional environments or aren’t as prominent? What should a development organization do differently to mitigate these risks?
