Assignment 2: 

Reflection: Practical Connection Activity

Word count: 2+ pages

It is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.

Provide a reflection of at least 2 pages double spaced of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. Share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

Requirements:

Provide a 2 pages double spaced minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. 

You should not provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect on how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.

Note for both the assignments: Please provide the 2 assignments in separate documents. plagiarism check required, APA format.

 For this assignment, review the article:

Abomhara, M., & Koien, G.M. (2015). Cyber security and the internet of things: Vulnerabilities, threats, intruders, and attacks. Journal of Cyber Security, 4, 65-88. Doi: 10.13052/jcsm2245-1439.414

and evaluate it in 2 to 3 pages (600 words), using your own words, by addressing the following:

• What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?
• Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
• Summarize the overall article.
• Identify the conclusions of the authors
• Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
• Consider alternative explanations for the results
• Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
• The relevance or importance of the study
• The appropriateness of the experimental design

When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. This is good practice for your literature review, which you’ll be completing during the dissertation process.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately three pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
• Follow APA 7 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. 
• Be clear and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Paper Details

In this assessment, you will articulate the roles played by team members in a software development project. You will explain how the Java programming language and development environment enable you to perform your role as a software programmer/developer in a development project.

In software development projects, a team is formed to carry out the project. The team is made of several members, each with a distinct role and responsibilities. Examples of these roles include the client, the project manager, the software architect, and the software programmer/developer roles.

Please refer to the resources of this assessment to learn about the software development process and the roles played in a typical software development project.

You may wish to reference these resources in your assessment.

Follow these steps to complete this assessment:

1.Research the software development process and the roles played by the development team members in software development projects. This research may include the readings suggested with this assessment, or you may conduct additional research.

2.Create a PDF or Word document named “U1A1_SWRoles” of 1–2 pages in which you: a.Describe the software development process and its phases.

b.Explain at least four of the roles played by team members in a software development project and examine their corresponding responsibilities. The four roles must include the role of the software developer/programmer.

c.As an aspiring Java programmer, articulate how the Java programming language and the Java development environment enable you to perform the role of a Java developer in a software development project.

Your document should follow APA style and guidelines, including proper spelling and grammar. APA guides are available in the assessment resources.

Deliverables

Submit your paper as Word document named as U1A1_SWRoles.doc (a PDF is also acceptable).Your document should follow APA style and guidelines, including proper spelling and grammar.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

1.Describe the software development process and its phases.

2.Explain roles and responsibilities of the developer/programmer teams.

3.Articulate how the programming language and development environment enable the role of a developer/programmer.

4.Communicate efficiently, effectively, and in an appropriate manner for an IT professional.

 Cybercriminals use many different types of malware to attack systems. Select one common type of malware listed in this article link and using your own words, explain how to defend yourself against it.   https://www.esecurityplanet.com/malware/malware-types.html#maliciousmobileapp 

Please write a 350 words essay. 

Just like you did in assignment 2.1, you will create a 1-2 page single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published scholarly articles related to your mock dissertation topic/research question.  However, this time you need to review a different methodology than you previously did (i.e. if you reviewed a quantitative article in 2.1, you will do a qualitative one in 2.2 and vice versa). 

Brevity and being concise are important as this analysis is intended to be a brief summation of the research.

Each abstract must therefore consist of the following in this order:

1. Bibliographic Citation – use the correctly formatted APA style citation for the work as the title of your abstract, displaying the full citation in bold font.

2. Author Qualifications – name and qualification of each author conducting the research

3. Research Concern – one paragraph summary of the reason for the overall research topic

4. Research Purpose Statement AND Research Questions or Hypotheses – specific focus of the research

5. Precedent Literature – key literature used in proposing the needed research (not the full bibliography or reference list)

6. Research Methodology – description of the population, sample, and data gathering techniques used in the research

7. Instrumentation – description of the tools used to gather data (surveys, tests,interviews, etc.)

8. Findings – summation of what the research discovered and the types of analysis that were used to describe the findings (tables, figures, and statistical measures)

Additional information on writing scholarly abstracts can be found via this link
