Discussion-Based Assessment

Choose one reading from the play, Julius Casear. From this reading, choose a quote that you feel is reflective of the lesson theme. Explain how the quote is significant to the theme, and how you can relate the message of the quote to yourself or to the world around you.The lesson theme is BETRAYAL!

Requirements:

• Three well written paragraphs that explain how your quote is representative of the lesson theme.
• One example that relates your quote to the other readings present in the lesson.
• One example that links your quote to “real life.”

Overview: Writing is a craft that people spend a lifetime refining, and one which allows people to express themselves in various ways. Effective writing has the ability to shape and inform the opinions of its readers. The ability to articulate a message through writing is essential in any career. The writing process can be very intimidating; however, the more you work with it, the more comfortable the process becomes. Something key to remember is the fact that the writing process is never truly complete.

Prompt: For this milestone, you will return to your Writing Plan and create a first draft of your analysis essay. To help with this process, you will participate in a guided walkthrough activity that asks you to expand on the answers you submitted for Assignment 1: Finalized Writing Plan in Module 5. This guided activity is the same eLearning paper generator that was used for Assignment 1, except that the questions will be aimed towards developing a working draft. You will pull out quotes and paraphrases and develop summaries that will be used to further support your points. You will also apply your instructor’s feedback from Assignment 1. When you are done responding to the prompts in this guided activity, you will have a transformed, more developed draft. You will be able to use the reverse outline in Module 6 to make sure that this draft has a clear, fluid, detailed approach. Whatever is completed in MindEdge by the deadline will be sent to your instructor for grading.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Introduction

This is where readers will have a chance to get an idea of what your essay will be about and what you will prove throughout. Don’t give all of your information away here, but give readers a sample of what is to come. Don’t forget to review your Writing Plan to make sure you are hitting all of the points that you planned out, while also stating your claim. (Note that if your claim and points have changed since the Writing Plan, that is okay, but it is advised to seek feedback on your new approach, either through your instructor or the SNHU Online Writing Center).

1. Provides an overview of the work you have analyzed, briefly describing main points, and your thoughts about your selected article.
2. Compose an engaging thesis that states the claim that you will prove and support throughout your essay. This statement will give direction to your essay and should be well thought out.

II. Body

The body is your opportunity to describe and support your claim in depth. Make sure your thoughts and evidence are clear and organized in a way that is easy for readers to follow and understand.

1. Be sure to write multiple paragraphs that are focused, clearly state their intent, and move logically from one to the other, building the thesis argument as the essay progresses.
2. Your body paragraphs should support your claim by combining thoughts and ideas with evidence from the selected reading. There is no such thing as a right or wrong claim; the key is how your claim is supported and the quality of the evidence used.

III. Conclusion

Think of the conclusion as a review of your analysis. Use this section to restate your claim, and remind readers of your supporting evidence. Think of this as your last chance to prove your point.

1. Review your claim and summarize key supporting points. This section should consist of a review of your main points employed to support your argument.
2. Your conclusion should articulate insights about your claim established through your analysis. This should follow logically from your argument, referring to key points or quotes used to support your claim.

Questions that need to be answered are below (questions 1-14)

**** Number of pages is not important, however, ALL questions must be answered ****

1. After re-reading your selected article, write a 3-4 sentence overview of the work, briefly describing main points and your thoughts about the writing. Include the author’s name and title of the article in this overview. These sentences will be part of your Introduction.

2. In Assignment 1: Writing Plan, you wrote a claim* to be addressed in your analysis essay. The claim should again clearly state what you believe is the author’s goal in his or her article, your reaction to this goal (e.g., do you agree or disagree?), and why you had this reaction. After re-reading and re-evaluating the article, do you want to change your claim? If so, re-write your claim in the textbox below. If you are still happy with your original claim, enter it again in the textbox.

3. In Assignment 1: Writing Plan, you listed three possible key points* that the author used to support his or her goal. Re-write the first supporting point in the textbox below. Then list one way in which the reading supports this point.

4. Now look for specific evidence* to support this first key point. The evidence should be a direct quote* from the article, a summary* of a section of the article, or a paraphrased* section of the article. Include the evidence in the textbox. (Remember to put quotation marks around direct quotes and cite the source in either MLA or APA format. Click here to access the MLA and APA Formatting Handbooks.)

5. Write 1-2 sentences that explain how this piece of evidence supports the author’s goal (from Question 2). Then, write 4 or more sentences that explain your reaction to the author’s key point (e.g., do you agree or disagree with this key point and its evidence? Do you think the author met his/her goal with the evidence that is being presented? Does additional information need to be included?) Remember to elaborate on your reaction.

6. Write the second key point/supporting point from your Assignment 1: Writing Plan notes in the textbox below.

7. Now look for specific evidence to support this second key point. The evidence should be a direct quote from the article, a summary of a section of the article, or a paraphrased section of the article. Include the evidence in the textbox. (Remember to put quotation marks around direct quotes.)

8. Write 1-2 sentences that explain how this piece of evidence supports your claim (from Question 2). Then, write 4 or more sentences that explain your reaction to the author’s key point (e.g., do you agree or disagree with this key point and its evidence? Do you think the author met his/her goal with the evidence that is being presented? Does additional information need to be included?) Remember to elaborate on your reaction.

9. Write the third key point/supporting point from your Assignment 1: Writing Plan notes in the textbox below.

10. Now look for specific evidence to support this third key point. The evidence should be a direct quote from the article, a summary of a section of the article, or a paraphrased section of the article. Include the evidence in the textbox. (Remember to put quotation marks around direct quotes.)

11. Write 1-2 sentences that explain how this piece of evidence supports your claim (from Question 2). Then, write 4 or more sentences that explain your reaction to the author’s key point (e.g., do you agree or disagree with this key point and its evidence? Do you think the author met his/her goal with the evidence that is being presented? Does additional information need to be included?) Remember to elaborate on your reaction.

12. In conclusion, rephrase your claim as stated in Question 2.

13. Write 3-4 sentences that summarize your reaction to the author’s key supporting points (Questions 3-11)

14. Explain at least 2 insights* about your claim established through your analysis

Network Tuning and Analysis

Your Task

Locate and utilize linux system administration commands to create users and groups. Standard linux commands will be used to allocate specific user and group permissions for files and directories.

For admin tasks you will need to switch to the root user:

Part 1: Networking Topology Analysis

What are the following characteristics of your current network connection?

• Network Adapter Type
• Network Interface Name in Linux
• ip address
• subnet mask
• default route

What is the ip address of your Host Machine? (Machine running Virtual Box, not the Linux partition – i.e. Windows).

Is the ip address of the host machine on the same subnet as the virtual host? Why or why not?

Think of a server on the internet somewhere (i.e. google.com). Ping the server and ctrl-c after 10 or so samples). What was the average round trip time.

Open a second window. From one window, ping the server on the internet again. From the second window, bring down the network interface using the “ifconfig” command. Watch the ping output. After several samples, bring up the interface using the “ifconfig” command. Control-C out of the ping commands after watching it for several samples once the interface is up again. Record and comments on the statistics (RTT and Packet Loss).

Can you ping the ip address of the host machine?

Can you ping the ip address of the default route? What machine is responding when pinging the default route?

Open a “command window” ( on Windows) or (Terminal on Mac) in your host machine. Can you ping the ip address of your linux virtual host?

How do you view the routing table? What is represented by the rows in the routing table?

Part 2: Adapter Configuration

In your Virtual Box configuration, add a second adapter which uses a “bridged” connection instead of a NAT connection. Set “promiscuous” mode to allow all. Your VM will need to be shutdown to do this.

Startup your VM.

Review your Network interface(s) using ifconfig.

Now that you have multiple network interfaces on your system with ip addresses on different networks, review the routing table again and describe how it is used to route traffic between the two cards?

Which interface is being used as the default route? Change the routing table so that the default route contains the ip address of the drfault gateway used by your host machine. Use ipconfig in windows to get this address. Can you still ping google? Describe how network trafficing has changed.

Part 3: Packet Tracing

Download and install “putty” on your host machine (Machine running Virtual Box – i.e. Windows – this does not get installed on your Linux Virtual Machine). http://www.putty.org

*If you already have a telnet and ssh client you can use those instead.

Using ssh and or telnet, login to your Virtual machine.

*sudo apt-get install openssh-server

*apt-get install telnetd

Using “tcpdump” start a packet trace which sniffs all packets on the bridged interface using port 22 or part 23.

Now, SSH in from your Host Machine using putty. Report the traffic you see. Are you seeing what is expected? Take a couple of packet headera and report what the various fields mean. Name a situation where packet tracing is beneficial to you as a system administrator?

NOTE: A packet may contain connection information, including the server running the TCP service first column, and arrow > shows the clients address and high order port used to establish the TCP connection between the two hosts. Additional TCP information required for handshaking and packaging packets is also included – i.e. seq, ack, win, length, tos, ttl, id.

Submission Requirements

You will submit a Word or Libre Writer Document which contains results from the above analysis and responses. I do not have access to your system so you need to be sure to provide screenshots for anything I cannot possibly know. Only provide screenshots necessary to prove your responses.

Please insert your screenshots into your word document with supporting documentation which meets all requirements. You will be penalized for any results which are not backed by proof.

Global forces and macro-environment factors continually challenge marketers. Selecting one of the macro-environmental factors from the table above (in our book) prepare a report on how you see that global force affecting, influencing, and limiting marketers in the near future.

For example, point # 2 states that “the movement of manufacturing capacity and skills to lower-cost countries” is one of the forces affecting marketing. How will this statement affect multi-nationals in their marketing plans for the future?

Let’s open up the class for discussion regarding how these global forces will affect (positively and negatively) marketing practices in the 21st Century.
