Evaluation Essay
Assignment:
We have the opportunity to select and evaluate a subject in order to present our overall assessment by supporting it with criteria and evidence. The essay will be approximately 3-5 pages in length, incorporate at least two sources, and include a Works Cited page. Note: Any essay that does not have a Works Cited page will have the final grade lowered by one letter. This assignment is worth a total of 100 points.
Rationale:
The skills used in this assignment are essential creating a coherent essay based on criteria, justification, and evidence as well as creating a discussion based on a controlling idea (e.g., claim).
Process:
1. Select a subject that you’re familiar with that also falls under one of the following categories: commercial product/service, work of art, or performance.
2. Determine 4-5 criteria by which to evaluate the subject and determine to what degree the subject meets each standard.
3. Formulate a claim that represents your overall assessment about the subject.
4. Construct a 3-5 page evaluation essay presents your claim and supports it with criteria, justification, and evidence.
Essay Organization/Structure:
Because this essay is arranged deductively, we’ll use the following essay structure:
Introductory paragraph(s): Provide an engaging lead, background information about the work of subject, and claim.
Body paragraphs: Provide a transition, state the standard being used to evaluate the subject and why/how it’s important, followed by evidence that demonstrates the ways in which the subject meets or doesn’t meet the standard.
Conclusion: Provide an ending that “wraps up” the discussion rather than summarizes it.
Keep in Mind:
We must determine the criteria before we evaluate the subject. We must ask ourselves: What is the general subject? What are the criteria? Why are the criteria important? What is the specific subject? How does the subject meet/not meet each standard? What is my overall claim?
Also, we may use the sources we research any way we want. For instance, we may want to use sources to help present background information about the subject or to help present the evidence. No matter what, though, we must cite and document the sources.
Effective Essay:
An effective evaluation essay will have the following characteristics:
· A narrowed scope and clear, precise claim
· A clear sense of purpose, focus, and perspective
· Development of the overall analysis and evaluation
· An organizational structure appropriate to purpose, audience, and context
· Language and style appropriate to the audience and context
· Appropriate detail, information, and examples
· Proper mechanics (spelling, grammar, punctuation)
Format and Design:
Your essay will follow these format and design requirements:
· Use MLA format where in the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date; include a title for your essay using standard capitaliz.

I would like to share here my ppt presentation of this SLA theory. It was hard finding and putting together the right materials or articles for my report but my Professor liked this final presentation^^ Through other presentations I found online, I somehow gained the idea on what and how to report it.
I hope this will also help other MALED students researching for this topic^^
Kindly inform me if I failed to cite other sources that you know or see. Thank you very much.
Discourse Competence and Its Cultivating Strategies in English Major Instruct...inventionjournals
As an indispensable part of language competence, discourse competence is difficult to develop because of its lack of the teaching target orientation in the English instruction of English major in China’s universities, which has led to a lack of clarity of teaching and assessment goals. For this case, this paper examines the definitions of discourse competence, illustrates the connotations of discourse competence, and proposes that discourse competence should be established in English Syllabus for English Major of Colleges and Universities in China. Then the paper proposes the effective strategies for cultivating discourse competence from the following aspects: increasing teachers’ awareness of discourse competence and discourse teaching, strengthening teacher training to increase their own discourse competence, compiling textbooks with features of discourse competence training, and implementing discourse-based approach to English teaching.
Version 2: This presentation provides basic definitions and explanation of rhetorical modes, patterns of paragraph development, or, as I like to call them, writing strategies.
The text of the poem is presented with my notes, which are specific to my class, and not intended to be considered as an explication or full interpretation of the poem.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

The second sentence does not reveal its meaning as precisely as the first. The
third group of words cannot be considered a sentence at all because it does not
communicate a thought.
The difference between the first and second sentences is a difference of degree.
One is considerably more effective than the other, but both communicate
meaning. The third does not.
7. 1. So now we know what grammar is and what kind of errors
we’re most likely to have in our writing...if both the first and
the second sentences in the previous slide communicate

2. Why should someone fail ENG 1113 for using language

This is where it grammar becomes political. I recently found

As much as he has tried, our people have resisted for 413 years in this wilderness,
and they resisted for this generation to carry out what must be done. We cannot
fail our ancestors. We cannot fail our ancestors. We cannot fail our ancestors.
We resisted in every way you can point to. Take the English language. There are
cats who come here from Italy, from Germany, from Poland, from France. In two
generations they speak english perfectly. We have never spoken English correctly.
Never have we spoken English correctly. Never. Never.
Never.
And that is because our people consciously resisted a language that did not
belong to us. Never did. Never will. Anyhow they try to run it down our throats, we
ain’t gone have it. We ain’t gone have it. You must understand that as a level of
resistance. Anybody can speak that simple honkey's language correctly. Anybody
can do it. We have not done it because we have resisted. Resisted.
NOTICE: Carmichael’s speech is, with only the exception of minor and clearly
intentional deviations, STANDARD ENGLISH.
10. SO, why doesn’t Carmichael
practice what he preaches?
He wants his message to carry the most power and influence
possible.
He knows that using Standard English gives his words more
credibility, more power to convince his audience.
Presenting your thoughts in Edited Standard Written English is a
matter of credibility.
If you want to be taken seriously, use Standard English in your
academic and professional writing.

12. Ways of looking at grammar instruction
at the college level:
The rules of “The teaching of
grammar must be grammar is the
taught explicitly to
exercise of power and
produce improved
skill in writing little else; we should
grammatically turn to more
correct sentences in important
Standard English. matters.” (Patrick
Hartwell, 1985)
13. The unfortunate reality is that a high percentage of students
continue to struggle with the formal rules of English and are not
well prepared to present their thoughts in Edited Standard Written
English.
However, the fact that the majority of students who enroll in the
course continue to struggle with prerequisite skills does not change
the focus of the course to the remedial study of the basic rules of
grammar and mechanics. The focus of the course remains on
improving students' ability to write well organized, detailed, and
sophisticated content that illustrates evidence of critical thought.
So, it is very important, as we begin this course, for each one of
you to think about your prerequisite skills and to each determine
for yourself a plan for improvement that includes attention to the
relevant chapters and pages of your textbook or resources available
online, such as the online writing lab for Purdue University known
as The OWL. (Google OWL Purdue and you will find a treasure trove
of resources for correct usage.)
14. Study after study, dating back to the
sixties, demonstrates that the
teaching of grammar rules does not
result in better student writing.
Hartwell uses this analogy: baseball
coaches don't sit their players down
and have them learn the extremely
complex scientific formula for
catching a fly ball before they put
them on the field and have them
catch fly balls. Furthermore, could
any of the players figure out the
complex formula, that would in no
way indicate that the same player
would be the best among his peers at
catching fly balls. Simply put, Hartwell
and many other scholars have
concluded that the teaching of
grammar does not improve writing.
15. Therefore, for these two reasons, there will be
no formal grammar instruction in this course:
1. The ability to use "correct" In this course, your final papers

18. Overview:
Grammar is the way we use language and is it is a system of rules for using language.
Studies show that teaching grammar at the college level does not result in improved
writing. In this course, using correct grammar is a revision issue, and should be considered
when editing your writing for presentation.
Using correct grammar in academic writing is a matter of style and credibility, and the
ability to do so is a pre-requisite skill of this course.
It is smart to follow the rules of grammar for professional and academic occasions; make
your own call for other occasions.
For this class, the only assignments that will be graded for Edited Standard Written
English are final drafts of papers and examination essays. The rubric I will use to grade
your papers is located in Course Documents. Your final papers are expected to have fewer
than three deviations from Edited Standard Written English per page (or per 300 words).
Papers with more errors than this are not eligible for passing grades.
