System and Problem
for a
Library Management System
Smallsville, USA
Our public library in Smallsville is in need of a computer system to
help keep track of who checks books in and out, as well as to keep
track of fines and print reports for us. We have been making out fine
for years recording the information by hand, but Sally and Mary just
don’t have the handwriting they used to, especially at 72 and 81,
respectively. Our new librarian, Marcus, is young and energetic, and
just doesn’t have the patience to keep handwritten records. As head
librarian he wants to be able to do more for our community than just
keep track of books, so he wants to be able to mail out notices of
special events and the like.
Therefore, he has made note of the items he thinks need to be
included in this system. Keep in mind that he knows very little about
computers, so he has probably left some things out. Please feel free
to make any additions or corrections that you feel are absolutely
necessary. Also bear in mind that we are a small town, and do not
have an unlimited budget for such a system or the training required
to use it. A single PC should suffice for our needs right now, but we
might want to grow to two or three, connected together, in a couple
of years.
Here are the main items that are needed:
a. Add a new library patron and be able to edit their basic
information
b. Remove a patron. Ensure that the patron has no books borrowed
and no unpaid fines before deleting them. Provide notice
appropriately.
c. Print a list of all patrons (in some sensible order).
d. Print a list of all patrons with outstanding fines.
e. Add a new book to the catalog. Be able to edit basic book info.
f. Remove a book from the catalog. Ensure no one has it borrowed.
Notify appropriately and do not delete if out.
g. Record a book as lost.
h. Record that a particular patron is borrowing a particular book.
i. Record that someone has returned a particular book. Report any
fines owing and update patron account.
j. Record that a patron has paid some money toward his or her
outstanding fines.
k. Print all overdue books, and who has them.
l. Print address mailing labels
Do not attempt to provide card catalog services for allowing patrons
to search for books, although we may want to expand the system
later to include this capability with multiple stations. You may
assume each book has a unique acquisition number, and you may
use these numbers to refer to books borrowed and returned. For
each book, record acquisition number, title, author and any other
information you need to process the above commands.
For patrons include name, complete address, a unique ID number,
phone number, email and any other info you need to complete the
tasks
In the future we may also engage in inter-library loans with
neighboring cities, and would like to consider self-check stations in
the future since we have a ra ...

ACCT 424 Advanced Accounting
Final Course Report: Research Tracker & Bibliographic Report
General Information:
Project Objective: Create an annotated bibliographic report to meet an assignment from your supervisor after first
creating and using a research tracker. These are two separate deliverables required for this activity.
Why Are We Doing This?: In addition to assessing your performance in this course, this assignment will be used to assess
the accounting program's achievement of program outcomes for the Information Literacy (INFO) Core Learning Area (CLA),
as described in the university's Program Assessment Plan. The INFO CLA is defined as follows: demonstrate an ability to
use libraries and other information resources to effectively locate, select, and evaluate needed information. The
accounting program outcomes are defined as the ability to research accounting information to solve business problems
and improve decision making.
Learning Objective: Demonstrate the ability to use academic and professional databases to research and support
recommendations on emerging accounting issues.
Requirements:
Overview: We learn about a variety of topic in ACCT 424 Advanced Accounting, including the very important topic of
accounting for business mergers and acquisitions (M&As). In addition to the “debit and credits” of M&As there is a host
of activities an accountant would be involved in if they get involved in M&As in practice. One such activity is that of Due
Diligence. By performing this activity, you will not only accomplish required learning objectives, you will also develop an
understanding of what Due Diligence is, a very important topic to have some knowledge about in practice.
The Scenario: Place yourself in the role of a new team member at an organization that’s just begun the process of
negotiating being acquired by another company. Your team lead as come to you and your co-workers and told you that in
a month’s time the other company will be starting the process of Due Diligence, and your team is going to need to support
that effort. Well, your company has never been bought out before, so this whole process is new to everyone, including
this Due Diligence thing.
Since your team lead knows you successfully completed Advanced Accounting at UMUC, she knows you’re the best of the
best and as such she assigns you the task of researching Due Diligence, and wants you to report back to the team with
two specific deliverables: a Research Tracker and an Annotated Bibliography.
Part I – The Research Tracker
A Research Tracker is a straight forward activity that can be thought of as something that simply “tells the story” of your
thought process and logic used in finding information on a subject. In our case, that subject is going to be Due Diligence.
Your requirement for the Research Tracker deliverable will be to research the subject of Due Diligence and create a basic
Research Tracker to rep.

Break the topic into its component parts to understand what the main issue is that must be addressed.
Report topics can usually be divided into three sections:
• Content What is the issue or problem to be addressed?
• Instruction What have you been asked to do in relation to the topic?
• Scope How has the topic been limited – is there a focus on particular organisations/ countries /year(s)?
Underline key words and draw circles around the action/instruction words.
It is really important that you understand what the instruction words are telling you to do.
Step 4 Brain storm – what do you already know about the issue?
A brainstorm is the beginning of a mind map – these random ideas can be organised into a structured mind map that will provide you with a guide for your research and your writing.
• Using your reading, lectures and your own experiences think about what you already know about the problem/issue.
• On a blank piece of paper, write down all the ideas that you think might be related to the subject under review
• Write down where you think you need to go to get information other than from books, journals websites etc. Think about who you know in business who you might be able to interview.
Step 5 Starting your research
Although you are required to read and research widely, it is better to gain an overview of the topic by firstly reading the recommended texts – don’t go straight online unless instructed to do so by your lecturer or tutor.
The texts will give you a broad understanding of .the main ideas, writers and theories associated with the issue.
By familiarising yourself with the key concepts, the next stage of your investigation will be more targeted.
Step 6 Mind mapping
A mind map is a visual way of gathering your ideas about a particular topic.
Mind maps help you to identify the main ideas and what research needs to be conducted to provide the evidence that supports these ideas.
Your mind map is a good time management resource. It will help you focus your search for information more efficiently and to organise your ideas into a coherent and logical structure when you write your .

Final PaperOne reason that California have been known as the Gol.docxcharlottej5
Final Paper
One reason that California have been known as the Golden State is because of the influence of Hollywood. The well-known reputation of the entertainment of Hollywood has been showed the natural advantages of California, such as the weather, coast, and the natural resources. Also, the Hollywood shows another side of California, which is the world-leading level of technology companies. However, it is controversial to state that California is shown to the world by Hollywood. In fact, I prefer the saying that the history and the multicultural environment breed the great potential of the newborn Hollywood at the first place. While Hollywood shows the diverse cultures in California, it expresses in the influence of the California history by showing the images of different racial people in the films.
California have been a state of immigration, attracting people from the world to migrate the family and invite them to contribute for the development of California. It is fair to say that California was built by the people with different ethnical backgrounds. However, Hollywood has not been treated equally to the contributors with different races. White can be always be the lead of the movie. For example, a white actor can play the role with quality of richness, smartness and toughness. A non-white Hispanic actor can play the role of a billionaire, a drug dealer, a villain, a genius, and a special agent. However, Chinese Americans have the least if the scenes in the Hollywood films. Chinese Americans express a very stereotypical image of neediness, Kungfu, or weakness. In historical speaking, the Chinese were first shown in California in the event of Gosh Rush in the 1800s. The image of Chinese miners in Gold Rush is influent to the image of the Chinese Americans from Hollywood firms. It is hard to truly know the Chinese culture through the media. I doubt that Chinese culture does not assimilate to the society of California. In the Chronicling California, it pointed out that the Chinese culture was not quite “fit” into the California society: “the expulsion of the Chinese is not demanded on the ground that they represent cheap labor... they are regarded by the thoughtful as objectionable because they represent a substitution of unchangeable foreign and hopelessly unassimilative material for that which is malleable and assimilative” (100, Hoikkala and Wallis). Most of the Chinese miners had the strong responsibilities to support their families by sending the money to oversea. The loss of currency conflicts with the California society also indirectly caused the Chinese Exclusion Act later in 1882. Comparing to other immigrants, Chinese suffered the unequal treatments, which is why it is hard to see the Chinese cultures in the early Hollywood films.
While Hollywood has published some great firms about the World War II, it emphasized the victory of the United States, avoiding the fact that how the California government treated unfairly to the.

ACCT 424 Advanced Accounting
Final Course Report: Research Tracker & Bibliographic Report
General Information:
Project Objective: Create an annotated bibliographic report to meet an assignment from your supervisor after first
creating and using a research tracker. These are two separate deliverables required for this activity.
Why Are We Doing This?: In addition to assessing your performance in this course, this assignment will be used to assess
the accounting program's achievement of program outcomes for the Information Literacy (INFO) Core Learning Area (CLA),
as described in the university's Program Assessment Plan. The INFO CLA is defined as follows: demonstrate an ability to
use libraries and other information resources to effectively locate, select, and evaluate needed information. The
accounting program outcomes are defined as the ability to research accounting information to solve business problems
and improve decision making.
Learning Objective: Demonstrate the ability to use academic and professional databases to research and support
recommendations on emerging accounting issues.
Requirements:
Overview: We learn about a variety of topic in ACCT 424 Advanced Accounting, including the very important topic of
accounting for business mergers and acquisitions (M&As). In addition to the “debit and credits” of M&As there is a host
of activities an accountant would be involved in if they get involved in M&As in practice. One such activity is that of Due
Diligence. By performing this activity, you will not only accomplish required learning objectives, you will also develop an
understanding of what Due Diligence is, a very important topic to have some knowledge about in practice.
The Scenario: Place yourself in the role of a new team member at an organization that’s just begun the process of
negotiating being acquired by another company. Your team lead as come to you and your co-workers and told you that in
a month’s time the other company will be starting the process of Due Diligence, and your team is going to need to support
that effort. Well, your company has never been bought out before, so this whole process is new to everyone, including
this Due Diligence thing.
Since your team lead knows you successfully completed Advanced Accounting at UMUC, she knows you’re the best of the
best and as such she assigns you the task of researching Due Diligence, and wants you to report back to the team with
two specific deliverables: a Research Tracker and an Annotated Bibliography.
Part I – The Research Tracker
A Research Tracker is a straight forward activity that can be thought of as something that simply “tells the story” of your
thought process and logic used in finding information on a subject. In our case, that subject is going to be Due Diligence.
Your requirement for the Research Tracker deliverable will be to research the subject of Due Diligence and create a basic
Research Tracker to rep.

Final Paper
Final Paper Synopsis:
The purpose of this paper will be to simulate a professional analysis of a segment of technology that will contribute to the success of your fictional company. Each student will use the same company. You will choose one of five technologies on which to focus. The complete guidelines are below beginning with the scenario.
Scenario
Overview
JK Incorporated is a 50-year-old retail and distribution grocery company that owns and operates 3,000 stores under different banners across the United States. The mix of products includes products purchased from other manufacturers as well as product that JK manufactures itself. This results in national brands and private labels sold side by side. JK has stores, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and its own distribution fleet of trucks.
JK has enjoyed many years of success using methods that are now considered out of date and is now no longer leading in the industry. Technically progressive companies have entered the grocery industry and are threatening to disrupt JK and put it out of business entirely. JK has many areas that are in need of analysis to identify the positive impact that newer technology may have on its business.
You have been assigned to choose one of the 4 “current state” issues below and articulate the benefits of using the new technology.
Current State Issues
1. JK is using multiple regional data centers with older and less reliable hardware to deliver technical capabilities like point of sale, distribution logistics, loyalty programs, etc. Each of these data centers has high overhead with regard to management (labor), administration (skills), facilities (buildings, environmentals, security, network, and energy). This issue may be a candidate for the analysis of cloud computing.
2. JK has many distribution centers and trucks. These distribution centers do not integrate with the store systems for the timely tracking of deliveries. The current systems do not allow the store managers to answer simple questions like “where’s my truck” or “where’s my order”. JK also has a limited home delivery or “buy online and pick up in store capability. In essence, the distribution channel stops at the store rather than at the customers home as opposed to up and coming rivals. This issue may be a candidate for an overhaul of the enterprise Warehouse Management System and supply chain optimization.
3. JK has limited knowledge of it’s customers. The company relies primarily on random coupons based on products that need to be moved quickly. The marketing and promotion campaigns rely heavily on newspaper advertisements that promote based on time of year, holidays, or weekly bargains that represent overstock or third party promotions that they pass on to customers. There is a limited mobile and web experience with regard to meal planning, shopping list, personal preferences, allergies, or other localization items. This issue may be a candidate.
Final Paper, Essay Proposal, & Outline·The final essay should .docxcharlottej5
Final Paper, Essay Proposal, & Outline
·
The final essay should be about
6-7 pages
in length
·
The focus of this essay will be to state, explain, develop, and defend a particular thesis based upon some theme in philosophy of religion related to the texts we’ve been reading.
·
The thesis needs to make some specific
claim
(or closely interrelated set of claims) about some topic or theme that we’ve touched on this term, (see list of possible topics below).
·
This claim needs to be stated clearly, explained carefully, fully developed in relation to the kinds of arguments and objections we’ve encountered in texts, by at least two different authors, and defended with philosophical arguments and reasons drawing upon texts we’ve read, ideas of your own, and your own experiences and beliefs.
·
Be sure to relate the theme of your essay to our lives. Why does this claim matter? What difference does it make if you’re right about the thesis?
Topics:
Possible theses can respond to the following topics…
·
Is it appropriate to claim that there is only one true religion?
(Please don’t pick this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Do all religions share some common core, so that differences don’t really matter?
·
Does the existence of evil and suffering logically disprove a good all-powerful God?
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does the amount and kind of evil and suffering count against the existence of God? Is any evil truly pointless?
(Again, please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”)
·
Does claiming we cannot know whether any evil is pointless also entail that we cannot know (apart from divine revelation) that God really intends our good?
·
Is it possible for God to make genuinely free creatures who are guaranteed never to do wrong (Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…” either).
·
Is evil and suffering in the world justified by bringing a greater good?
(Please don’t choose this one, if your answer is “no…”).
·
Does Christian belief in the incarnation, suffering, , death, and resurrection of Jesus make a difference for the problem of evil and suffering?
·
What is the nature of evil? Is it a “thing” in this world or is it merely the privation of good?
·
Do even secular values (moral, political, social, etc.) function ultimately in a kind of religious way? What are the limits of tolerance?
·
How can a loving God judge evil and how can God allow some people to choose an ultimate destiny that ends in their own destruction (i.e. Hell)?
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, does that exclude the existence of God or make God’s existence superfluous
(Please don’t choose this one if your answer is “yes…”).
·
If Darwinian explanations of the natural order of the world are true, what does that suggest about the nature of divine providence and God’s relation to the creation?
(Please try not to pick this one; thank you)

Outline & Annotated Bibliography
The option I chose for the final project was option (b), to select and write about a feature length film made between 1970-2000. The film I chose is a story by Stephen King, ‘The Green Mile’, directed by Frank Darabont. Below I will outline my final paper for the course, as well as list and discuss a few sources that I will be citing.
· Introduction
· Discuss the making of the film
· The film’s success (box office/awards and nominations)
· Critical reaction to the film
· Personal reaction to the film (what I liked/did not like, critique of main character roles and actors/actresses who played them)
· Discuss direction of film (montage/sound and music)
· Discuss direction of film cont. (cinematography/ special effects)
· Conclusion
· Bibliography
Cinematography of The Green Mile. (2014). Cinematography of The Green Mile. Retrieved 27 June 2017, from https://bnyce82.wordpress.com/
This reference is specific to the cinematography techniques used in the film, ‘The Green Mile’. It provides insight into the various aspects of cinematography, such as the tone of the film, the camera angles and lighting, as well as the dialogue between the characters. This reference will help backup the information I will provide in my final paper.
Darabont, F. (1999). The Green Mile. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VslrToVsu80
This reference is the actual film, ‘The Green Mile’, found on YouTube. I will be watching the entire film to gather information for my final paper. The information I will be looking for while watching this film are the editing techniques used by the director, as well as my personal reaction to draw a general conclusion from.

The movie review of, ‘The Green Mile’, by the late Roger Ebert is a perfect reference to gain insight to the critical review of the film upon its release. I will be referencing opinions and points made by the infamous film critic, as he discusses the direction of the film, as well as the actors’ performance.

This general reference on cinematography is from the Oxford Dictionary of Film Studies. I found this entry very useful during week 4 of the course when it was presented and will use it as a reference for my final paper, as well as future discussions. The entry defines cinematography in film making as capturing movement on film, as well as explains the role of a cinematographer on a movie set.

Final Digital Marketing Plan
Final Digital Marketing Plan PowerPoint Presentation,
Introduction
In this PowerPoint presentation, we will present our Final Digital Marketing Plan for our product the Concussion Protocol Sensor (CPS). This product idea was created by Simone Harvey and voted on by the remaining team members in team D to implement as our product idea. In the first phase of the marketing plan we outlined a target market and included a segmentation criteria for the Concussion Protocol Sensor. Second, we will developed a digital advertising strategy and included two sample banner ads and a mock landing page for the website in our marketing plan. Third, the presentation will provide examples of three mock web ads and include specifics of where they will be placed. And we will create a budget for a two week advertising campaign.
The second phase of the marketing plan will summarize our plan to reach consumers. Our goal to reach our consumers is by using email marketing to directly send out email advertisements to consumers through the assistance of AWeber. In today’s day and age, social media and instant connection is the best most popular way of connecting with not only friends and family but consumers as well. There are many different forms of social media out there today such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. We will utilize these platforms in our marketing strategy in an effort to reach as many consumers as possible.

Target MarketYouth Sports Programs focused on young athletesHigh School students interested in sportsCollege Athletic ProgramsCoaches involved in sports programs
The target market for the CPS would be youth sports programs focused on young athletes, age 6-13; high schools students interested in sports, age 14-18; University athletic programs, and coaches involved in sports.
The ages that would benefit would span from very young children all the way to adults that are active in sports or other activities that could be extreme enough to lead to potential head injuries.

Demographic Market Segmentation
As it relates to the segmentation criteria we used to determine the target market for the CPS, we chose the Demographic Market Segmentation’s, as it works best with our marketing strategy since the data is easily available and drastically affects buying patterns. Age, income, gender, ethnic background and family life cycle are all important factors of demographic segmentation.
The CPS is going to use an age range of 5-34 years of.

1. According to Fanon, what is the “colonial personality” (p. 250)?
2. Explain: “railways across the bush, the draining of swamps and a native population which is non-existent politically and economically are in fact one and the same thing” (p. 250).
3. How did the French behave during the Algerian Revolution (1954-1962)? How about the Maquis (resistance)?
4. Do you think there are numerous cases of psychological symptoms such as Fanon describes happening to people in war zones right now—say, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.? Why or why not?
5. What insights does Fanon gain through treating the psychological problems of both French and Algerian patients?
6. Explain: “you’ve got to cure me, doctor… he asked me without beating about the bush to help him go on torturing Algerian patriots without any prickings of conscience, without any behavior problems, and with complete equanimity” (p. 270).
7. Explain: “Had there ever been a European arrested and sent to prison for the murder of an Algerian? I replied that in fact I had never seen any Europeans in prison” (p. 271).

9. Explain: “if I were an Algerian girl, I’d be in the Maquis” (p. 277).
10. Do you realize that this is what the vast majority of postcolonial struggles for independence from European and North American hegemony actually looked (and sounded) like? Are such things still happening today?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Article Review Instructions
4. After reading through your assignments this week, you are to
pick a topic of interest that was mentioned in the reading
assignment. Using the Jerry Falwell Library and other scholarly
resources, you are to locate a peer reviewed journal related to
the topic of your interest. Read the journal article thoroughly so
you can discuss it. If you wish to use something other than a
peer reviewed journal, please consult with your instructor
before starting the assignment.
You will then prepare an article review related to the topic that
you researched in the research/reading assignments from the
assigned module/week. The article review that you create must
be at least 750words and be formatted according to APA style.
Use the following section order to guide you in building your
article review but do not use the numbers in your section
headers, only the names. Also, this is example is not in APA
style, make sure your review follows APA styles, this is a guide
NOT a template.
1. Bibliographical Reference:
a. Create a single bibliographical entry in APA style in the first
section of your paper. This should include:
i. Detail the author(s) of the article
ii. Name of the Journal (including volume, issue, year, page
numbers, etc.)
iii. Name of the article you are reviewing.
b. Note – You may also choose to identify the article you are
reviewing (i.e. – The focus of this review will be “Article
Name” published in “Journal Name” in “Year/Month”) and then
simply cite it in a bibliographical entry at the end (see section
7).
2. Objectives:
a. After reviewing the article, use a bulleted list to identity the
3 to 5 primary points you feel the article addresses.
b. Simply put the bulleted list of those points in your Objectives
5. section with something to the effect of “After reviewing
“Article Name” the three main points addressed by the author(s)
were:
· Bullet one
· Bullet two
· Bullet three
3. Summary:
a. Summarize the article you reviewed in approximately 2 or 3
full paragraphs.
b. Do not use direct quotes at all. If you need to quote it,
paraphrase what you read.
c. Use the bullets above (section 2b) to structure what you wish
to discuss in this summary (i.e. – In the first paragraph,
summarize the article section which addresses the first bullet in
2b and so on).
4. Results:
a. Now that you have read this article and summarized it, what
do you feel that a reader can learn about the topic from the
article?
b. Using bullet points, highlight the things you feel like you
learned more about after reading this article. It’s best to keep
this list to a maximum of 5 bullets.
c. Note – these bullets should not be identical to the bullets in
the Objective Section (2b).
5. Critique:
a. Use this section to provide an academic critique of the
article.

a. List a minimum of 3 (no more than 5) questions that arose
from the reading of this article in a numbered list.
b. Consider any thing you feel like you should have learned
from the article but did not.
c. Note – These questions may spark your desire to review other
matter on the topic and may even be used as a starting point for
one of your two research papers (though this is not required).
7. Bibliography:
a. You need to use one other sources to support or deny your
opinion and if you chose to only identify the article in section
1, you will want to make a bibliography.
b. Follow APA guidelines for Bibliographies as outlined in the
APA 6th Edition Guide.

Acknowledgments
EMC Education Services embarked on learning this subject with
the intent to develop an “open” curriculum and
certification. It was a challenging journey at the time as not
many understood what it would take to be a true
data scientist. After initial research (and struggle), we were able
to define what was needed and attract very
16. talented professionals to work on the project. The course, “Data
Science and Big Data Analytics,” has become
well accepted across academia and the industry.
Led by EMC Education Services, this book is the result of
efforts and contributions from a number of key EMC
organizations and supported by the office of the CTO, IT,
Global Services, and Engineering. Many sincere
thanks to many key contributors and subject matter experts
David Dietrich, Barry Heller, and Beibei Yang
for their work developing content and graphics for the chapters.
A special thanks to subject matter experts
John Cardente and Ganesh Rajaratnam for their active
involvement reviewing multiple book chapters and
providing valuable feedback throughout the project.
