Systems and Controls Assessment

/in /by

Assume you are a manager in a large international organization. You have been asked to assess the company’s information systems and security controls.

  • Describe identification, authentication, and authorization.
  • Explore whether or not you would use Windows ACLs and explain your reasoning.
  • Evaluate best practices for managing Microsoft Windows and application vulnerabilities.

Keep in mind, we are more interested in your ability to describe the steps you would take to review security goals than providing an answer to this scenario. Remember the strategy of Think, Plan, Design, Implement, and Evaluate.

Deliverables:

Your paper should be two to three pages long and formatted according to University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines. Use at least two scholarly sources and information from your module to support your work.

It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments to the TurnItIn Originality Check prior to submitting

Once you have completed all the self-assessments in the folder, write an essay that provides:

1. A summary of your results for ALL the self-assessments (e.g., MBTI, Learning Style, Listening), not just one of two of the assessments.

and

2. To evaluate what the results mean for you as a student, human, and future business person/employee (I’m going for critical thinking here). For example, ask:

  • How can knowing your learning style, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), listening skills, etc. benefit you personally and professionally?
  • How can knowing your learning style, MBTI, listening skills, etc. be helpful in your interactions with others?
  • How do you think knowing your learning style, MBTI, listening skills, etc. help you in your studies, lectures, meetings?

3. Format requirements include:

  • Page length is determined by how many pages you need to completely summarize and evaluate your self-assessment results and reflections.
  • 1-inch margins, double-space lines, 12-point font (Arial and Times New Roman are the common business fonts)
  • — there is more assessment I could not attach

PAPERS

-There are Two Papers assigned

General Instructions

For each of the two papers, you will be responsible for watching a film and write a 3 to 5 page essay in which you respond to prompts which will be provided for each paper (this means at least 3 pages including the “My Criteria for Quality in Film” page and no longer than 5 pages). These assignments are reaction papers, not plot summaries or research papers. The key element here is that you will be telling the instructor what you have to say about the film, not what others have said.

In a 100-level course, you would perhaps be asked to write about what you saw on the screen. In a 200-level course, you would be asked to say what you think about what you saw. In this 300-level course, you are expected to explain why you think the way you do about the film, and to justify your explanation (using references to subjects found in the weekly content in the LEO classroom.

You will be responsible for turning in these assignments to the proper assignment folder in LEO.

Putting these assignments off until the last possible moment probably will not work very well. Each of them requires you to view an additional film besides the ones you will be watching for the week’s discussion, so you should be sure to leave yourself enough time to view the necessary film, think about it, write a first draft, and then edit and revise.

Part of your responsibility in this course is to make any and all arrangements necessary to allow you to view the films, think and write about them, and turn your assignments in by their respective due dates. Some of the films you watch may be available for streaming via Netflix or another online content provider; others may be available for checkout from your local public library, while others may need to be rented.

Be sure to spell the names of directors, actors, screenwriters, and other people correctly (this can cause “points” to be taken off of the final grade for that paper). Any name that is not listed in the credits that begin or end the film is a name you do not need to mention.

The papers will be graded based on such elements as evidence that you are reading and viewing the material the course content, references and comparisons to other films you have seen (in or out of class and throughout your lifetime as a movie watcher), and especially to films you have previously written about; use of the film vocabulary introduced in class; clear presentation of your opinions; reasonable explanations and justifications to support those opinions; and college-level writing skills (spelling, punctuation, and grammar). Other criteria will be presented to you as appropriate.

You are better off watching these films on the largest possible screen, and at the highest possible resolution.

Paper OneAssignment for Film One (F1)

Part 1: View a feature film made between 1940 – 1970 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director. If you would like to see an American film, consider seeing something directed by Frank Capra, George Cukor, John Ford, George Stevens, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, or William Wyler. If you would like to try a foreign film, consider Ingmar Bergman (Swedish), Luis Buñuel (Spanish), Claude Chabrol (French), Federico Fellini (Italian), Akira Kurosawa (Japanese), Lina Wertmuller (German) or the British team known as “The Archers” made up of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. These are suggestions, but not a comprehensive list of possibilities. For a much more extensive list, you might want to visit http://www.filmsite.org/directors.html. (Note that many directors were active both before and after 1970. Make sure you see a pre-1970 film, make sure it’s a film you have not seen before, and make sure it is a feature. Don’t, for example, see Buñuel’s UN CHIEN ANDALOU, which is a short, not a feature.)

Comment on the specific film you saw. Pay particular attention to the camerawork (cinematography) the editing (montage) and the sound (this can include the music). What did you like, and what did you dislike, about what you saw? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Is the film a good film, or is it not? (Note: This is not the same question as whether or not you liked it. It is entirely possible to like a film that you are aware is not very good.) You should comment on the film both as a representative of its genre and as a film.

Part 2: Now that you have commented on the specific film you viewed, see if you can draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. For example let us say you watched the 2012 film Prometheus (no this is a not a film you can watch for this paper). Did you like Ridley Scott as a filmmaker? Did you like Michael Fassbender in the roll of an emotionless android? Why, or why not? Be sure to comment on the overall impression you had of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. Remember, this is not a research paper. I am interested in what you have to say, not in what you can learn by reading up on the film or the filmmaker.

Part 3: On a separate page, insert the heading “My Criteria for Quality in Film.” Under that heading, use your comments about this film and its filmmaker as guidelines toward proposing five general statements indicative of your personal taste in movies. These statements should be numbered (1) through (4), and they should be written as complete sentences or a short paragraph. It might be useful to introduce each statement with such language as “Excellent movies feature,” or “A movie is more likely to be good if,” or “A characteristic of high-quality cinema is.” (For example, if you commented in the body of your essay that you liked the acting because it was realistic and you liked the script because it had a happy ending, you could propose these two statements as criteria for quality: “(1) Excellent movies feature realistic acting. (2) A movie is more likely to be good if it ends happily.” Do not just put something like “Good movies feature good acting.” The point here is for you to think about—and then explain—what such quality words as good, excellent, and effective actually mean. Be sure to save your “My Criteria” page to your hard drive—you will be adding more items to this list and resubmitting an expanded version of it with for the second paper later in this course.

Assignment for Film Two

Part 1: View a feature film made between 1970 – 2000 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director or featuring a great actor or actress.

Just as you did in the first paper, comment on the specific film you saw. Pay particular attention to the screenplay, camerawork (cinematography) the editing (montage) and the sound (this can include the music). You may also address special effects. Again, as you did in the first paper, talk about what you like, and what you dislike, about what you saw? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Is the film a good film, or is it not?

Part 2: Now that you have commented on the specific film you viewed, see if you can draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. Be sure to comment on the overall impression you had of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. Remember, this is not a research paper. I am interested in what you have to say, not in what you can learn by reading up on the film or the filmmaker.

Part 3: Go back to the “My Criteria for Quality in Film” page. Based on your viewing of this week’s film, add Five new general conclusions. These statements should be numbered (6) through (10). Be sure to include entire page, including all of your previous criteria statements.

Job Scenario Offer, business and finance homework help

/in /by

Imagine you completed an interview with a potential employer one week ago, and are anxiously awaiting the results. One afternoon, you receive a phone call from the employer and they offer you the position! While you are very excited about the opportunity, you know it is in your best interest to review the entire offer and benefits package before accepting. You graciously and politely thank the employer for contacting you, and request 48 hours to review the offer and respond. The employer agrees, and emails you a copy of the full offer description.

Upon reviewing the offer description, you notice that the salary is lower than you anticipated, and the benefits package does not describe an option for dental insurance. Your son and has been visiting the dentist regularly for orthodontic work, so dental insurance is very important to you. Also, your son is now a teenager and you would like to contribute to his college fund, since he will be graduating in a few years. Any additional income you can get will be very helpful. Outside of these two issues, the job offer looks very appealing and you are excited about the opportunity to join this company.

With this in mind, you decide you would like to negotiate with the employer in hopes of obtaining a higher salary and inquire about the availability of dental insurance. Before making the call, you prepare a list of talking points and strategies you will use to make the conversation go as smoothly as possible.

Create a discussion post explaining how you would approach this negotiation.

Discussion Board 3 Part 1 ONLY

/in /by

Please write in third person do not use “I”.

For each group discussion board forum:

  • Perform academic research to support your strategies by finding and utilizing peer-reviewed sources in addition to assigned course reading in the text and assigned library and website readings. Research should be performed in the Liberty University Online Library.
  • Use current APA format.
  • Write in third person.
  • Write at graduate-level quality.
  • List references at the end of each required thread.

Following are the general instructions for completing your group discussion board assignments (topics are given within the modules/weeks):

Part 1

Individually, you will write a minimum 400-word thread discussing the following

(use the following as headings in each thread):

  • Introduction to the topic.
    • A short overview of the topic
  • Three Concepts
    • The 3 most important concepts you have learned from the textbook readings, website and article readings.
    • In the discussion, include why these are the most important for an organization to consider.
  • References – 4 total
  • 2 peer-reviewed references from the Liberty University Online Library into your thread. These references must have been published in the previous 4 years.
  • 1 reference from the text.
  • 1 reference from the assigned article(s) or from the website readings.

Use proper grammar and current APA formatting.

Feedback from a professor:

Also, for the references… refer to APA formatting of those. If they have a publisher listed, it should also have the city and state it was published. If any of your references are from an electronic source (website, database, journal, etc.), it should either have “Retrieved from … ” at the end with the URL or it should show the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number.

Google “Purdue OWL: APA Formatting and Style Guide. This is the best one that I have found that covers most situations that we will encounter. Hope this helps.

In addition to copy and pasting the instructions I have also attached more detailed instructions and a grading rubric.
