To begin the project, think about your future graduation. Think about planning a graduation party to celebrate all of your hard work. For the sake of this assignment, imagine that you have the budget that could include a rented venue and entertainment. You need to decide on the theme, the food you will serve, the location, and the entertainment you will have. Plan on a three-hour event—the date and time are up to you. Of course, everything that you include needs to be school and classroom appropriate.

This assignment will be created in a Word document but don’t worry too much. The reading for this week covered all the basics. The first thing you need to do is to set up a folder on your computer where you will save all the files for this class.

Once you have created your folder you will need to create a new Word document and save it with the title of W1P_LastName.docx. Put your name and the assignment number in the first two or three lines of the document. Always make sure the instructor can find your name easily in any assignment turned in.

Now you get to describe your graduation party. Your paper should include the following; review the Grading Criteria below for specifics. This assignment should be at least half a page in length and could be as long as two pages. Take the space that you need to meet the requirements.

1. Description: Describe your party and what it means to you. How will graduation make you feel and what will it help you to accomplish?
2. Location: Include at least three possibilities of locations for your party. You can find these by searching the Internet for venues near you or wherever you want the party to be held. For each possible location, include a sentence or two explaining why this would be a good location and include the link to the Web site for at least one location so your classmates can see it and to demonstrate your ability to add a hyperlink.
3. Entertainment: This should fit with the theme you planned, and it can range from guided tours to board games to live bands. Really be creative with this. Pick at least three possible choices for entertainment. For each choice, include a sentence or two explaining why it would be a good option. Include a link to the Web site for at least one entertainment choice so your classmates can look at it and to demonstrate your ability to put in a hyperlink.
4. Add some formatting to your text and decorate your page with some graphics (Insert Picture or Online Picture) to demonstrate your theme more visually! Change the WrapText properties on the graphic to Square so you can move it where you want it. Be sure to see the Project Tips at the end of the directions for more help with this and the rest of the project. Explain what formatting you did in the message box.

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 careers.

Assignment:

Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double-spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course   Cryptography have been applied or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, 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 500 word (or 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. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment.

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

Required Resources

The following resources will be used to complete your assignment:

• Microsoft Excel

You will analyze the data you collected and provided in your assignment last week. As you are working on each of the steps below, think about the analysis that you will provide to the research team. Follow the steps below to complete this analysis.

1. Copy the file you created in week 5 and rename the new one “YourName_COMP150_W6_Assignment”.
2. Open the file and duplicate the sheet where the initial table and data were created
3. Rename the new sheet as “sorting & filters” and move it to the right of the original sheet
   1. Make the data look professional by using formatting options such as borders and table styles to place the data into a table.
   2. Select one of the text-based data columns such as names, cities, or addresses and sort the data by Z to A.
   3. Create a custom filter to any part of the data except where you did the sort. For example, if you sorted by the patient’s name, then filter another set of data.
4. Duplicate the original sheet again and rename it as “conditional formatting”. Move it right after the “sorting & filters” sheet.
   1. Implement conditional formatting to any of the number-based data sets. For example, showing higher numbers in green, while showing lower numbers in red.
   2. Add an IF function and apply it to the entire set. For example, you could create a function that says if x number is higher than x number, then you are at risk. The purpose is to show how an IF function works so creativity is permitted in how you use the function.
5. Use the “conditional formatting” sheet to create a pivot table.
   1. The pivot table needs to be on its own sheet.
   2. The pivot table needs to be meaningful so make sure to select data that will make it clear for your analysis.
   3. The pivot table should have data selected on the columns, rows, and values fields. Make sure to consider the data when adding the selection of the value
6. Create a minimum of two charts. Make sure to select the right chart that explains your analysis. Each chart should be on its own sheet and should have a title. Make sure the purpose of the chart is self-explanatory just by looking at it.
7. Update the documentation sheet
   1. Update the date.
   2. Add all the new rows for the sheets created.
   3. Provide a brief written analysis for each of the new sheets. Explain what you want the research team to learn about each sheet.
8. Review all the sheets to ensure it looks professional. Try to keep the same style, colors, and formatting, Make sure the file is named “YourName_COMP150_W6_Assignment” and submit the file.

Grading

This activity will be graded based on the Week 6 Assignment rubric.

Refer back to the Marseille Urban Planning Project article you read in the Week 1 Content folder within your course Documents and Resources. In this article, you can visually see how multiple departments came together using Esri’s CityEngine tool to create and implement an urban plan to restructure a city within a matter of months.

To complete this assignment, choose a large public works project, such as the construction of a new high school. For the public works project you can select any project – this could be a local project or a hypothetical situation (adding a city park, expanding a freeway, creating more housing, building a new commercial complex, adding a neighborhood school, building out a train system, etc.). 

Write a two page paper, using the newest APA formatting edition within a Microsoft Word Document, that identifies two phases that can be independent projects. Discuss each phase and discuss how each phase is an independent project and what makes them independent projects.  Specifically, state how each project meets the definition of a project, and describe the product, service, or result of each project, and why it is temporary.

You are going to conduct a risk assessment on Acme Enterprise using the risk assessment

concepts we have learned about thus far. Each of the areas of the infrastructure mentioned

above is where you will concentrate your assessments. After you have completed your risk

assessment, you will then provide recommendations for each area that you assessed to

reduce risk, exposure, and threat. Also, as part of your final submission demonstrate

through a redesign where your mitigations will take place within the architecture. You can

use the image below as guide for your risk analysis of each area.
