CIS 170 Digital Crimes

For your final research paper in this course, you will write an analytical research paper addressing a major issue of your choosing from among the topics covered in this course. As a research paper, your paper will have to answer a significant puzzle related to a course topic.

For this assignment, you are essentially doing the first three elements of your research paper outlined below.

Title Page of the Paper: The title of your paper should be brief but should adequately inform the reader of your general topic and the specific focus of your research. Keywords relating to parameters, population, and other specifics are useful. The Title Page must include the title, name, course name and number, and Professor’s Name.

Introduction, Research Question, and Hypothesis: This section shall provide an overview of the topic that you are writing about, a concise synopsis of the issues, and why the topic presents a “puzzle” that prompts your research questions, which you will include. This section will be 1-2 pages. End your introduction with your research question.

Review of the Literature: All research projects include a literature review to set out for the reader what knowledge exists on the subject under study and helps the researcher develop the research strategy to use in the study. A good literature review is a thoughtful study of what has been written, a summary of the arguments that exist (whether you agree with them or not), arranged thematically. At the end of the summary, there should still be gaps in the literature that you intend to fill with your research. It is written in narrative format and can be from 4-6 pages depending on the scope and length of the paper.

As a literature review, this section should identify the common themes and theories that the prior research identified. In this section, what you do is look at the conclusions of prior research and identify what the common themes are you see in those conclusions. You then identify those themes.

“There is a gold light in certain old paintings” BY DONALD JUSTICE

1

There is a gold light in certain old paintings

That represents a diffusion of sunlight.

It is like happiness, when we are happy.

It comes from everywhere and from nowhere at once, this light,

And the poor soldiers sprawled at the foot of the cross

Share in its charity equally with the cross.

2

Orpheus hesitated beside the black river.

With so much to look forward to he looked back.

We think he sang then, but the song is lost.

At least he had seen once more the beloved back.

I say the song went this way: O prolong

Now the sorrow if that is all there is to prolong.

3

The world is very dusty, uncle. Let us work.

One day the sickness shall pass from the earth for good.

The orchard will bloom; someone will play the guitar.

Our work will be seen as strong and clean and good.

And all that we suffered through having existed

 

Shall be forgotten as though it had never existed.

Sharing Your Sensory Experience.

For the first part of the project, you will need to record yourself reading the poem aloud and then experiencing each of your five components. Verbally express your response to each component using the following criteria:

Submit still images of your sensory objects that represent taste, touch, smell, and sight

Math Across the Curriculum

Math Across the Curriculum

Successful teachers understand how to help young children connect emerging numeracy skills to learning in other content areas so the children learn how math helps them understand and describe the world around them.

For this assignment, select a grade level pre-K, and develop three cross-curricular at-home activities that integrate math and reading. Each at-home activity should be developmentally appropriate, easy to do at home with family members, and engaging.

Write 150-250 words for each activity explaining to families how to complete the activity. Include the following for each activity:

  • A math and an English language arts standard for the selected grade level
  • Specific objectives
  • A written resource to help reinforce math and reading skills (books, poems, stories, etc.)
  • Instructions for completing the learning activity
  • Developmentally appropriate technology options for students with language learning needs
  • Summative activity for students to complete and return

In addition, write a 250-500 word reflection on the challenges and benefits of integrating reading and math. How will you apply this in your future professional practice?

Support your narrative with 2-3 resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Group Project Brainstorming Report:

English Question

Essay Subject: Excessive student loan debts

there are two parts of the Essay:

1. Group Project Brainstorming Report: When meeting in your problem-solving group, you will be discussing in detail the problem. After clearly identifying, defining, and clarifying the problem, your group will create one solution that helps to solve the problem you described. There will probably not be a solution that is a 100% fix, and that’s okay. Your group can talk about the strengths and the weaknesses of the solution to meeting the problem. Remember, take good notes while meeting with your group.

All of the steps in the organizational format below should be explained in great detail, not just notes. Brainstorming is all about the details, so help me to understand that your group talked in depth about your subject by clearly explaining the group’s thoughts on each of the four categories below.

Organizational Format for Brainstorming Session

  1. Identify – clearly state the problem you are trying to solve.
  2. Define – thoroughly describe the problem. Why does the problem exist? What are the cause and effects? Are there drawbacks to solving this problem?
  3. Clarify – who is impacted by the problem? How are they impacted?
  4. Solve – offer one solution to satisfy the problem. Include the strengths and weaknesses of this solution as it relates to the problem you described.

The Brainstorming Report should be at least 1 full single-spaced page in length. Remember, brainstorming is all about the details, so this report should explain in detail the four steps your group used to find a solution.

2. Group Project Reaction Essay: Once your group meeting is complete, you will analyze your experience in a reaction essay by answering the questions below. The essay should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman font.

Reaction Essay Questions

  • Verbal/Nonverbal Analysis – Did each group member contribute to the problem-solving discussion? How did the group decide who would talk at a time? Did one group member talk more than others? Overall was the group effective with verbal communication? How did nonverbal messages contribute to the group process?
  • Listening Analysis– How effective were the group members at listening to one another? Was there a member who exhibited good or poor listening skills? Why are listening skills important when working in a group?
  • Conflict Analysis – Did your group experience any conflict or differing opinions? What type of conflict: pseudo conflict, simple conflict, or ego conflict? How did conflict impact the group problem-solving experience? If a conflict was not experienced, how did your group avoid conflict?
  • What insights did you gain about the interpersonal communication process through working in this problem-solving group?

Requirements: two essays (1 single page) and (2 double space pages)   |   .doc file
