 There are numerous databases that contain personal, but public, information about individuals. 

Today much of this data is available online.

How do you feel about your personal information being contained in databases that other individuals can access or that might be breached via the Internet?

Do you mind that anyone with an Internet connection might be able to find out how much you paid for your house, if you are married, where you live, and other personal information?

The 15 worst data security breaches of the 21st century

in this assignment, you need to animate covid-19 numbers in 4 state in dynamic bar graph settings. You need to read data from a url, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/master/us-states.csv .

In the bar graph, randomly choose 4 states and show total number of cases in these state daily in an animated way. It means a frame should  show total number of cases on a given day. The next frame should show next day’s numbers. The animation should update twice a second (interval = 500), i.e., two days of data will be shown in one second. The title of graph should show current date, such as Jun 15, 2020. Both axes should have appropriate title. The animation should start the most earliest date and should stop once all data is consumed. 

Discuss the importance of regular expressions in data analytics. Also, discuss the differences between the types of regular expressions.

Choose two types of regular expressions… For example, [brackets] (Matches the enclosed characters in any order anywhere in a string) and * wildcards (Matches the preceding character 0 or more times) and discuss the differences between the two.

Please be sure to include two or three differences for each. Include how they help manipulate data.

Discussion Length (word count): At least 250 words (not including direct quotes).

References: At least two peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references.

Each student will conduct a search  online Library resources to find 1 recent peer reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relates to the concept: Emotional Intelligence. Your submission must include the following information in the following format:

Key Terms:

•  Emotional Intelligence

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. 

Be sure to use the headers in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required.

HUGE HINT for Journal Article Review Analysis Sections. READ THIS NOW! 

You should incorporate these topics into your analysis section. If you do, then the chances of earning a high grade are GREATLY increased, in fact, this is the FIRST thing I look for when grading your papers. 

1. Explain why you selected this particular article among all the articles you could have chosen on your selected term.

2. Explain why you agree or disagree with the author’s key positions in the article. 

3. Explain how the article was easy or difficult to understand and why? 

4. What did the author do well in your opinion? Explain.

5. Describe what you believe the author could have done better in your opinion?

6. What else should the author have included in the article and would the article benefit from a different perspective (such as from a different nationality or different industry or experience perspective). Explain. 

7. What other sources or methods could the author have used to improve the research in the article?  (Hint: look up the types of qualitative and types of quantitative research methods). 

8. What information / in-depth study / or further research should the author focus on as a follow up to this article and why? 

9. Explain what audience would gain the most benefit from your selected article and how they could apply it in their professional lives. 

10. What did you personally gain from this article and how has it shaped your thinking on the topic?  

11. What are the conflicting or alternative viewpoints of the author’s position? Or  What additional research backs up and confirms or adds to the author’s position?  (Hint: this will require you to find another peer-reviewed article that challenges, confirms, or adds to, or provides a different perspective to your chosen article.)

Next,  I look for the summary, writing quality, and formatting. 

I am typically very lenient on the writing because I am more focused on your content, but I will also point out how the paper could be better written. I only heavily penalize poorly written papers when there are excessive writing problems.

Why do I grade papers in this class this way?  

One of the key differences in a Bachelor’s vs Master’s level is critical thinking. Bachelor’s level basically challenges direct knowledge and recall of information. The Master’s level is more about analysis and critical thinking and defending your position in a scholarly way. The analysis section of these papers is your opportunity to exercise critical thinking (that’s why I call this portion of your papers critiques). 

Recalling or simply explaining the journal articles is a bachelor’s level task. When I see this in your papers I give the paper an automatic C. If the paper is poorly written it also gets an F. 

To get a B or an A – you must provide a critique of the paper and the author and how well the author did and what you think of the article. The questions listed above do this properly.  

I do not want to read your version of the journal article. I may as well read the journal article for myself.  Just briefly describe the article in your summary section  – but the analysis section is where you put in your personal critique – in other words, address the questions listed above and even add in additional thoughts based on your own creativity. 

If you have you been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure. If you have not yet been involved with a business process redesign, research a company that has recently completed one and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and how the company could have done a better job minimizing the risk of failure.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 4-6 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
