IT 328 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Your Role and the Triple Constraint
Overview: In Milestone One, you began your progress toward successful completion of your final project, the risk analysis and mitigation memo. You will now
continue this preparatory work in Milestone Two by focusing on a technical role. You will consider how the tasks assigned to the role fit into an integrated
schedule found in a Gantt chart. You will then work with the triple constraint, showing how changes to it may impact the project, while proposing a new project
element that will enhance user experience with the student degree progress tool. It is important to note that this milestone addresses Section I, Parts C and D of
your final project. For purposes of this activity, these items have been further broken down than they are in the final version of your project; this will help guide
you through all the aspects of this point in your learning experience.
As you are beginning to see, working within project budgets and staying on schedule typically requires a team effort, as work tasks must be completed efficiently
and often in the correct order for the project to stay on track. Additions to the p ...

IT 700 Capstone Component 2: IT Project Report Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: For your IT project report, the second of three capstone components, you will imagine that the key stakeholders for whom you wrote your proposal
gave you the go-ahead to implement your information technology solution to the problem you identified. You have designed and developed your project
solution, and now you must report to the stakeholders.
In other words, for this capstone component, you will design and develop your project solution and then report on it. If you are able to implement your solution,
include a summary of your implementation and testing in your report. If you are not able to implement your solution, you may develop a model, simulation,
prototype, or proof of concept as an alternative to developing a fully implemented project. In this case, in your report you should include a plan for
implementation and testing.
Your report must provide clear evidence that your project was implemented and tested (or is implementable and testable). This can be achieved by documenting
a demonstration of the project in use or documenting an explanation of the model, simulation, or prototype. Consider using video or screenshots to
demonstrate and explain your project. If the implemented project is to be supplied to the instructor, you could provide a user manual that explains how to
install, configure, and run the software. You are encouraged to submit artifacts of the project including diagrams, software applications, database designs,
process documents, etc. Make sure to include clear instructions for accessing and using these artifacts. The design and development of your project solution
should demonstrate professional-level knowledge and skills.
Your project report should include at least one recommendation for future enhancements. Explain what you might add to the project if you had more resources?
What risk(s) would you need to consider before the enhancement was implemented at some future point in time? What would have to happen first before the
future enhancement was even considered seriously?
You will submit drafts of this component in Modules Four, Five, Six, Seven, and Eight. The final component is due in Milestone Nine.
The following sections are required in your project report (though you are not limited to including only these sections):
1. Project Design: Analyze the problem that you have identified and explain why the problem is significant. [Drafted in Modules Four and Eight]
2. Project Implementation: If you implemented your project, describe the implementation. If your project was not implemented, how would you
implement it? As you work on the project each module, the status of the project will be updated in this section. Describe the status of the
implementation to date. [Drafted in Modules Five, Six, and Eight]
3. Project Test Plans and Results: If you implemented and tested your project, describe how yo ...
IT 328 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview.docxvrickens
IT 328 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a risk analysis and mitigation memo.
We all work on projects whether at work, at school, or around the house. Some projects are small and can be completed quickly; however, some take time,
planning, and preparation. How can you make sure that a project is completed once it is started? How do projects in information technology really run behind
the scenes? Project management provides a structured method to move through a project from the time it is created until the time it is completed and all the
steps in between.
In this project, imagine that you are team member for an IT development project. Your team has identified several risks the project faces that could negatively
impact its outcome. You have been tasked with selecting one of those risks and analyzing it in order to determine the best solution to mitigate the risk and
determine how your solution will affect the overall project. You will write a professional email memo to your project manager, with supporting documentation
as attachments. The email will explain your analysis, recommendations, and the impact of those recommendations. Your thorough analysis is critical to the
project manager to help him or her make an informed decision about how to move the project forward. Use this reference as an example, to assist you with
writing a business memo.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Explain the relationship between an information technology project’s scope, budget, and schedule to determine how they impact one another
Develop industry-appropriate messaging for communicating an information technology project’s status and needs to project stakeholders
Determine key information-technology considerations for informing project risk-management response strategies
Examine project management documents for key project data to promote successful information technology projects through development, testing, and
production
Prompt
Your email memo and attachments should be drafted in a Word document with the project charter, RACI chart, and Gantt charts included in an appendix. In
your memo, you will describe background information about the project that you are working on, detail information about a specific project risk, and propose a
recommended risk mitigation strategy to your leadership team.
Your memo will make use of the following project scenario:

If working in a group, include a statement of participation, describing how each person contributed to this project deliverable. Please have each person sign the statement.
Due Week 4: Work Breakdown Structure and Network Diagram
According to the PMBOK® Guide, "the WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team, to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables." In other words, it lists the project's tasks, the subtasks, the sub-subtasks, and so on.
For this phase, you will create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project you selected during phase one. Remember that the WBS starts with your major deliverables (that you stated in your scope management plan) at the highest level. The lower levels have the tasks required to complete those deliverables. You should have at least three tasks under each deliverable, but you may have as many tasks as needed to ensure that the deliverables are complete. Review the textbook (and the PMBOK® Guide, if you have it) for some suggestions on how best to create a WBS. From your work breakdown structure, develop a project task list with dependencies, add durations,.

Tuesday May, 5th.
I hope to give you all feedback on your essay by Wednesday May 6th. As before, it may be best for me to call you over phone (if possible), so if you send me your outline, please provide a contact number if you are comfortable.
And some additional info about the paper: (gratefully adapted from an email the other TA., Prof, Colebrook, send to students in his recitations)
What's the paper about?
As Dr. Appiah discussed in class today, for this final paper, you're being given a wide latitude to write an in-depth, argumentative essay on the subject of your choosing. The only limitations are that (1) it must be about gender, human rights, or economic inequality, either in a national or international context, and (2) it must include some of the philosophical thought of at least two of the traditions we've covered (Confucian, Islamic, or "Western"/Liberal).
How will I be grading it?
I will use the same rubric I used to evaluate the midterm papers for this essay. You can consult your midterm papers for details on this.
Where do I start?
Here are a few pointers on how to get started. (None of what I say here is
necessary
for the paper, just suggestions).
1. Start with a specific human right or moral claim. The
UDHR
is a great place to begin.
2. Pick a human right. For example, the UDHR guarantees the right to freedom of religion.
3. Pick two or three of the traditions we've covered. In my case, I'd compare, say, a liberal perspective on freedom of religion and an Islamic perspective on freedom of religion.
4. Formulate a thesis. For example, "in this paper, I will argue that freedom of religion, conceived of as a human right guaranteed in the UDHR, is both (a) a non-negotiable element of human dignity and (b) incompatible with basic Koranic obligations and the Islamic tradition of commanding and forbidding." This thesis should be
argumentative
. You ought to take a stand, and argue in favor of one perspective's interpretation or for your own new perspective. Papers that simply list what each tradition would say on an issue would be inadequate. In formulating your thesis, remember that the narrower your thesis, the easier it will be to defend. Narrow theses are the bread and butter of philosophy papers!
5. Assemble the textual support for this thesis. Go through the syllabus and compile each of the articles that we've covered that is relevant to this thesis - both the required and supplemental readings.
6. Reference your notes for broad outlines of arguments that are relevant to your thesis. In this case, I'd want to use at least Kant, Rawls, and Singer to put together an argument for (a) above, and Cook's work to put together the argument for (b) above.
7. As you're putting together these arguments, refer back to the texts we've covered t.
The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months.docxtodd241
The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months. Ben has been reviewing the invoices from the IT vendor that is providing design and programming services for the CRM implementation. Ben is working with this vendor on a number of different projects, and there are a handful of people that work on multiple projects for him, including the CRM implementation. He just told you that there are some problems with the invoices, and he is not sure what to do about them.
George is working on the CRM implementation and 2 other smaller projects. His hours look okay when Ben first looks at them. However, when Ben adds up George's hours for the past month across all 3 projects, they total more than 65 hours per week. Ben knows that George is barely on-site more than 4 hours per day and does not feel that George is producing anything close to 65 hours of work.
Two hours per day were billed for Louise for 1 week when she was on vacation. As far as Ben knows, Louise was not invited to any project conference calls nor was there any critical project e-mails sent to her during that time.
The rate for Betsy increased by 15% half-way through the second invoice. No explanation was given.
Nothing was billed for Ron his entire first month on the project.

THE CRISIS A DECADE LATERLehman’s Last Hires LookBack.docxtodd241
THE CRISIS: A DECADE LATER
Lehman’s Last Hires Look
Back
Four people who started at Lehman Brothers the day it
failed reflect on the lessons they’ve learned.
By Corrie Driebusch
September 15, 2008, was one of the darkest days in the
history of Wall Street. For four new college graduates,
it was also their first day of work at Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc.
Sohil Sheth, Luvleen Sidhu, Justin Gaines and Brian
Grossman walked through the doors of Lehman just as
the venerable investment bank filed for bankruptcy
protection, an event that sent shockwaves around the
globe. The aftershocks continue to define many aspects
of American life a decade later.
The crisis provided these unlucky millennials with a
new perspective. Big institutions were no longer
infallible. Wall Street no longer offered a guaranteed
career path. Life was more fragile than they knew.
One thing was certain: Their world would never again
look the same.Sohil Sheth
Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point
Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point
My junior year at Amherst, everyone was trying to get
an internship in New York at a bank, and I got one with
Lehman’s investment management division. All we
heard from executives was that Lehman was going to
be the next Goldman Sachs.
The summer of 2008 I moved to New York for training.
I was definitely getting nervous that maybe they would
start laying people off. But the messaging at Lehman
was ‘don’t worry.’ There’s no way the government
would let anything happen to a company as big as
Lehman.
I was preparing for a licensing exam in my apartment
on Sunday, Sept. 14, and there was a new news story
every minute. I refreshed my computer browser and all
a sudden there was a headline that Lehman declares
bankruptcy. I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach.
The next day we all went in to work, but everyone was a
zombie.
I kept working there, but this cloud was hanging over
us. I worked in the fund of hedge funds group for two
and a half years, but then got super jaded. I went to
Peru and worked for a nonprofit for almost a year.
A decade ago I defended the finance industry. Looking
back, it’s tough to be socially conscious and work in it.
I’m not saying tech is saving the world, but there’s
more practical applications that can apply to a lot of
people than just making the rich richer.Luvleen Sidhu
Co-founded digital banking startup BankMobile
I interned at Lehman after my sophomore and junior
years at Harvard. I graduated in 2008 and started six
weeks of training, and the first day on the job was the
bankruptcy. I remember contacting HR and I asked,
should I come in? I’ve locked the response in my head
because it was so unusual. The response was, ‘please
come in, it’s business as usual.’
My first day was kind of crazy, in an eerie way that we
were ignoring reality. No one was acting panicked. No
one was acting out of line, though maybe they were
behind closed doors.
For it to happen the first day of my car.

The Criminalization of American BusinessWhat do Bank of Americ.docxtodd241
The Criminalization of American Business
What do Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs have in common? All paid hefty fines for purportedly misleading investors about mortgage-backed securities. In fact, these companies paid the government a total of $50 billion in fines. The payments were made in lieu of criminal prosecutions.
Today, several hundred thousand federal rules that apply to businesses carry some form of criminal penalty. That is in addition to more than four thousand federal laws, many of which carry criminal sanctions for their violation. From 2000 to 2019, about 3,200 corporations either were convicted or pleaded guilty to violating federal statutes or rules.
Criminal Convictions
The first successful criminal conviction in a federal court against a company—the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad—was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1909 (the violation: cutting prices). Many other successful convictions followed.
One landmark case developed the
aggregation test
, now called the Doctrine of Collective Knowledge. This test aggregates the omissions and acts of two or more persons in a corporation, thereby constructing an
actus reus
and a
mens rea
out of the conduct and knowledge of several individuals.
Not all government attempts at applying criminal law to corporations survive. Courts have sometimes found insufficient evidence to show that a company acted with specific intent to commit a crime. Often, however, companies choose to reach settlement agreements with the government rather than fight criminal indictments.
Many Pay Substantial Fines in Lieu of Prosecution
More than four hundred corporations reached so-called non-prosecution agreements with the government from 2000 to the beginning of 2019. These agreements typically involve multimillion- or multibillion-dollar fines. This number does not include fines paid to the Environmental Protection Agency or to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to law professors Margaret Lemos and Max Minzner, “Public enforcers often seek large monetary awards for self-interested reasons divorced from the public interest and deterrents. The incentives are strongest when enforcement agencies are permitted to retain all or some of the proceeds of enforcement.”
Questions Presented
1)Why might a corporation’s managers agree to pay a large fine rather than to be indicted and proceed to trial?
2)How does a manager determine the optimal amount of legal research to undertake to prevent her or his company from violating the many thousands of federal regulations?

Due Week 4: Work Breakdown Structure and Network Diagram
According to the PMBOK® Guide, "the WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team, to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables." In other words, it lists the project's tasks, the subtasks, the sub-subtasks, and so on.
For this phase, you will create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project you selected during phase one. Remember that the WBS starts with your major deliverables (that you stated in your scope management plan) at the highest level. The lower levels have the tasks required to complete those deliverables. You should have at least three tasks under each deliverable, but you may have as many tasks as needed to ensure that the deliverables are complete. Review the textbook (and the PMBOK® Guide, if you have it) for some suggestions on how best to create a WBS. From your work breakdown structure, develop a project task list with dependencies, add durations,.

And some additional info about the paper: (gratefully adapted from an email the other TA., Prof, Colebrook, send to students in his recitations)
What's the paper about?
As Dr. Appiah discussed in class today, for this final paper, you're being given a wide latitude to write an in-depth, argumentative essay on the subject of your choosing. The only limitations are that (1) it must be about gender, human rights, or economic inequality, either in a national or international context, and (2) it must include some of the philosophical thought of at least two of the traditions we've covered (Confucian, Islamic, or "Western"/Liberal).
How will I be grading it?
I will use the same rubric I used to evaluate the midterm papers for this essay. You can consult your midterm papers for details on this.
Where do I start?
Here are a few pointers on how to get started. (None of what I say here is
necessary
for the paper, just suggestions).
1. Start with a specific human right or moral claim. The
UDHR
is a great place to begin.
2. Pick a human right. For example, the UDHR guarantees the right to freedom of religion.
3. Pick two or three of the traditions we've covered. In my case, I'd compare, say, a liberal perspective on freedom of religion and an Islamic perspective on freedom of religion.
4. Formulate a thesis. For example, "in this paper, I will argue that freedom of religion, conceived of as a human right guaranteed in the UDHR, is both (a) a non-negotiable element of human dignity and (b) incompatible with basic Koranic obligations and the Islamic tradition of commanding and forbidding." This thesis should be
argumentative
. You ought to take a stand, and argue in favor of one perspective's interpretation or for your own new perspective. Papers that simply list what each tradition would say on an issue would be inadequate. In formulating your thesis, remember that the narrower your thesis, the easier it will be to defend. Narrow theses are the bread and butter of philosophy papers!
5. Assemble the textual support for this thesis. Go through the syllabus and compile each of the articles that we've covered that is relevant to this thesis - both the required and supplemental readings.
6. Reference your notes for broad outlines of arguments that are relevant to your thesis. In this case, I'd want to use at least Kant, Rawls, and Singer to put together an argument for (a) above, and Cook's work to put together the argument for (b) above.
7. As you're putting together these arguments, refer back to the texts we've covered t.
The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months.docxtodd241
The CRM implementation of the project has been underway for 3 months. Ben has been reviewing the invoices from the IT vendor that is providing design and programming services for the CRM implementation. Ben is working with this vendor on a number of different projects, and there are a handful of people that work on multiple projects for him, including the CRM implementation. He just told you that there are some problems with the invoices, and he is not sure what to do about them.
George is working on the CRM implementation and 2 other smaller projects. His hours look okay when Ben first looks at them. However, when Ben adds up George's hours for the past month across all 3 projects, they total more than 65 hours per week. Ben knows that George is barely on-site more than 4 hours per day and does not feel that George is producing anything close to 65 hours of work.
Two hours per day were billed for Louise for 1 week when she was on vacation. As far as Ben knows, Louise was not invited to any project conference calls nor was there any critical project e-mails sent to her during that time.
The rate for Betsy increased by 15% half-way through the second invoice. No explanation was given.
Nothing was billed for Ron his entire first month on the project.

THE CRISIS: A DECADE LATER
Lehman’s Last Hires Look
Back
Four people who started at Lehman Brothers the day it
failed reflect on the lessons they’ve learned.
By Corrie Driebusch
September 15, 2008, was one of the darkest days in the
history of Wall Street. For four new college graduates,
it was also their first day of work at Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc.
Sohil Sheth, Luvleen Sidhu, Justin Gaines and Brian
Grossman walked through the doors of Lehman just as
the venerable investment bank filed for bankruptcy
protection, an event that sent shockwaves around the
globe. The aftershocks continue to define many aspects
of American life a decade later.
The crisis provided these unlucky millennials with a
new perspective. Big institutions were no longer
infallible. Wall Street no longer offered a guaranteed
career path. Life was more fragile than they knew.
One thing was certain: Their world would never again
look the same.Sohil Sheth

Works for Boston technology firm Harding Point
My junior year at Amherst, everyone was trying to get
an internship in New York at a bank, and I got one with
Lehman’s investment management division. All we
heard from executives was that Lehman was going to
be the next Goldman Sachs.
The summer of 2008 I moved to New York for training.
I was definitely getting nervous that maybe they would
start laying people off. But the messaging at Lehman
was ‘don’t worry.’ There’s no way the government
would let anything happen to a company as big as
Lehman.
I was preparing for a licensing exam in my apartment
on Sunday, Sept. 14, and there was a new news story
every minute. I refreshed my computer browser and all
a sudden there was a headline that Lehman declares
bankruptcy. I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach.
The next day we all went in to work, but everyone was a
zombie.
I kept working there, but this cloud was hanging over
us. I worked in the fund of hedge funds group for two
and a half years, but then got super jaded. I went to
Peru and worked for a nonprofit for almost a year.
A decade ago I defended the finance industry. Looking
back, it’s tough to be socially conscious and work in it.
I’m not saying tech is saving the world, but there’s
more practical applications that can apply to a lot of
people than just making the rich richer.Luvleen Sidhu
Co-founded digital banking startup BankMobile
I interned at Lehman after my sophomore and junior
years at Harvard. I graduated in 2008 and started six
weeks of training, and the first day on the job was the
bankruptcy. I remember contacting HR and I asked,
should I come in? I’ve locked the response in my head
because it was so unusual. The response was, ‘please
come in, it’s business as usual.’
My first day was kind of crazy, in an eerie way that we
were ignoring reality. No one was acting panicked. No
one was acting out of line, though maybe they were
behind closed doors.
For it to happen the first day of my car.

The Criminalization of American BusinessWhat do Bank of Americ.docxtodd241
The Criminalization of American Business
What do Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs have in common? All paid hefty fines for purportedly misleading investors about mortgage-backed securities. In fact, these companies paid the government a total of $50 billion in fines. The payments were made in lieu of criminal prosecutions.
Today, several hundred thousand federal rules that apply to businesses carry some form of criminal penalty. That is in addition to more than four thousand federal laws, many of which carry criminal sanctions for their violation. From 2000 to 2019, about 3,200 corporations either were convicted or pleaded guilty to violating federal statutes or rules.
Criminal Convictions
The first successful criminal conviction in a federal court against a company—the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad—was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1909 (the violation: cutting prices). Many other successful convictions followed.
One landmark case developed the
aggregation test
, now called the Doctrine of Collective Knowledge. This test aggregates the omissions and acts of two or more persons in a corporation, thereby constructing an
actus reus
and a
mens rea
out of the conduct and knowledge of several individuals.
Not all government attempts at applying criminal law to corporations survive. Courts have sometimes found insufficient evidence to show that a company acted with specific intent to commit a crime. Often, however, companies choose to reach settlement agreements with the government rather than fight criminal indictments.
Many Pay Substantial Fines in Lieu of Prosecution
More than four hundred corporations reached so-called non-prosecution agreements with the government from 2000 to the beginning of 2019. These agreements typically involve multimillion- or multibillion-dollar fines. This number does not include fines paid to the Environmental Protection Agency or to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to law professors Margaret Lemos and Max Minzner, “Public enforcers often seek large monetary awards for self-interested reasons divorced from the public interest and deterrents. The incentives are strongest when enforcement agencies are permitted to retain all or some of the proceeds of enforcement.”
Questions Presented
1)Why might a corporation’s managers agree to pay a large fine rather than to be indicted and proceed to trial?
2)How does a manager determine the optimal amount of legal research to undertake to prevent her or his company from violating the many thousands of federal regulations?

The Creation of the Ocean Floor
One scientific speculation about the beginning of ocean water declares that as Earth developed from a gas and dust cloud more than 4.5 billion years ago, an enormous quantity of insubstantial elements such as oxygen and hydrogen became confined inside the liquefied inner part of the newly formed planet (Advameg, 2013). In the course of the first few billion years following planets formation, these basic gases emerged across thousands of miles of red-hot and liquefying rock to discharge on the Earth’s surface through fissures (long narrow cracks) and volcanoes.
Inside the earth and atop the exterior, the gas hydrogen joined oxygen developing water. Massive amounts of liquid blanketed the planet as an extraordinarily heavy atmosphere of water cloud. Close to the uppermost part of the atmosphere, where high temperature may possibly dissipate to outward reaches of the earth, water vapor concentrated to a liquid form and dropped into the stratum below, chilling the level. This atmospheric cool down procedure lasted till the initial precipitation dropped to the planet’s young exterior and flared into a misty haze. This came to pass as the creation of an astonishing downpour that through the course of time, progressively filled the ocean cavities.
There are three major classes of tectonic plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, covergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. The divergent boundaries outstanding features are fresh crust is produced as two or more plates tear away from one other. Oceans are generated and grow broader where plates deviate or pull apart. Seafloor expanding is a process in which the molten rock produces new ground underneath water. This progression takes millions of years to establish a 10 foot hill because growth fluctuates from two to 10 centimeters yearly. The convergent boundaries outstanding features are here crust is demolished and reprocessed back into the inside of the Earth as one plate descents under another. These are recognized as Subduction Zones - volcanoes and mountains are often discovered where plates come together. The kinds of volcanoes that can occur depend on the chemical composition of the molten rock that decides its fluidity. There are three kinds of convergent boundaries: Oceanic-Continental Convergence, Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence, and Continental-Continental Convergence (Platetectonics, 2010). The transform boundaries outstanding features are when two plates are skimming parallel by each other. These are additionally identified as transform boundaries or in addition normally called faults. The San Andreas Fault is the best known and considered the most lethal translational line.
One natural event that occurs as a direct result of plate boundary interactions is a tsunami. Plate tectonics are the secondary trigger of tsunamis. When a maj.

of Girl suffers few missteps. Dunham’s
cinematic flair translates to the page
with vigor and clarity—not unlike the

compared and to whom the book is
dedicated (along with Dunham’s family
and her boyfriend Jack Antonoff of the

pithy, pseudo-motivational observations

topical sections: “Love & Sex,” “Body,”
“Friendship,” “Work” and “Big Picture.”
Each of the 29 pieces—essays mixed
with lists, like “18 Unlikely Things I’ve

account of being raped by a “mustachioed

nonconsensual acts, removes his condom

“A sexual encounter that no one can

a voice of her generation, one struggling
to come to terms with rape culture.
(And yet, “I feel like there are fifty ways
it’s my fault . . . But I also know that at no
moment did I consent to being handled
that way” sounds like a voice of every

her self-awareness does not come across
as self-obsessed. When she is absurd,

(Received 3 January 2012; final version received 3 May 2012)
Although the so-called ‘CSI effect’ has received attention in the literature for the
influence of forensic science television on jurors’ expectations of evidence
admitted into trials, less research explores the influence of such television
programs on university students enrolled in forensic science degrees. This paper
describes the quantitative and qualitative results of a study of forensic science
students regarding the forensic-related television programs they watch, such as
CSI, Bones and Dexter. We asked students to share their impressions of the
accuracy, ethics, professionalism and role models in the programs. The results
show that forensic science students are almost universally disparaging about the
realism of these programs and have mixed impressions of how the programs
portray forensic science professionalism and ethics. Most students believed that
the programs gave an unrealistic representation of the profession to the public;
yet students were also able to identify positive elements for recruitment and
education purposes.
Keywords: forensic science; CSI effect; students; television; education; Australia
Introduction
Popular media have suggested that crime science television programs such as CSI
may influence how lay jurors consider forensic evidence during criminal trials1–8.
This influence has been described as the CSI effect and named after the popular
television drama. It is suggested that jurors confuse the capacity of forensic evidence
with the fictional idealisation of forensic evidence as portrayed on the television
program2. Goodman-Delahunty and Verbrugge4 suggest that, despite the popular
media claims, there is little objective evidence to support the notion that crime scene
dramas such as CSI have a negative impact on jury verdicts. Wise5 indicated that
there are two issues relating to the ‘CSI effect’ proposition, with each affecting either
the prosecution or defence position; (i) the jurors held an inflated value of the
forensic evidence producing guilty verdicts2–5,9, or (ii) in the absence of forensic
evidence or when the evidence failed to reach the juries’ idealised expectations the
juries would acquit2–3,5. Evidence of the influence of the CSI effect, as claimed in the
popular media, has been mixed1–9.
Although the so-called CSI effect has received attention in the literature for the

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Section E: WBS and the Project Schedule (must use MS Project)
Instructions
Create the work breakdown structure (WBS) hierarchical chart
for the Getta Byte project using the information learned in the
Week 4 Getta Byte WBS and Schedule video. Remember that
the WBS starts with the project name at the highest level. The
lower levels have the work package required to complete those
deliverables. Review the Canvas Week 4 Lesson, the
Contemporary Project Management
6. textbook, and the
PMBOK®Guide
for some suggestions on how to create a WBS hierarchical
chart.
Create the project schedule using Microsoft Project with the
information provided in the Week 4 Getta Byte WBS and
Schedule video. Complete the following steps.
In the
Task Name
column enter the Project Name, Milestones, and Task Names.
As you develop the task list, make sure to use verb-object task
names (i.e., develop software).
In the
Duration
column enter the duration only for the tasks. Be sure to use
consistent unit such as hours or days for all tasks. The
milestones and project duration will be automatically calculated
by MS Project.
In the
Predecessor
column enter the task dependencies that is the predecessor
relationship. Do not enter dependencies nor assign resources for
milestones or summary tasks.
As you develop the task list, make sure to use verb-object task
names (i.e., develop software). In an MS Project schedule, enter
tasks, create the predecessor relationships in the predecessor
column, but do not link summary tasks or assign resources (i.e.,
7. milestones do not have dependencies).
Course Project Part 2
Section F,G
The Course Project Part 2 assignment is the integration of all
the sections that you have covered in the previous weeks
(Introduction and Sections A through E) plus Sections F, G, and
the Conclusion. Part 2 should be completely integrated and
presented in a logical order, written professionally and free of
spelling and grammar errors, and updated with any changes that
occurred along the way, including corrections and advice
provided by your professor.
Section F: Resource Allocation and Budget Reports (must use
MS Project)
To complete this section, you must continue working on your
MS Project file and add the information in the Week 5 Getta
Byte project video.
Step 1: Allocate resources.
Step 2: Review costs.
Step 3: Analyze your resource allocation and assignments.
Step 4: Print the Gantt chart.
Step 5: Print resource allocation report.
Step 6: Print the project budget report.
8. Note: Microsoft Project is a project management information
system (PMIS) designed to aid project managers in the
development of schedules, assigning of resources, tracking
progress, managing the budget, and analyzing workloads for
projects. In this course, the Microsoft Project schedule is
created in Section E and completed in Section F after adding the
allocation and budgeting of resources.
Section G: Risk Register
Use the Risk Register Template spreadsheet to complete your
assignment.
Identify and analyze your project risks.
Plan and implement risk responses.
Monitor the project risks.
