ASSISTANCE Analytics Self-Assessment Interpretation SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals: ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied. CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice. CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence. CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering. COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it. ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air). EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements. FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness. HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud. INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility. PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition. SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else. SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance. TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own. TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

Final Portfolio Project Draft
For this week submission, can you please provide Draft of final
project for review. Final paper submission due by end of next
week.

14. Please submit a draft of your final project for review. Final
submissions are due 18thApril
Final Project Prompt:
The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will
respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one
research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source
per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you'll
have at least 4 sources cited).
Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.
Prompt 1 "Data Warehouse Architecture" (2-3 pages): Explain
the major components of a data warehouse architecture,
including the various forms of data transformations needed to
prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own
words current key trends in data warehousing.
Prompt 2 "Big Data" (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding
of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data
used either personally or professionally. In your view, what
demands is big data placing on organizations and data
management technology?
Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (1-2 pages): One of our topics in
Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green
computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of
power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches,
and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make
their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example
of an organization that has already implemented IT green
computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and
share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.
Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section.
The paper needs to be approximately 5-8 pages long, including
both a title page and a references page (for a total of 7-10
pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to
avoid plagiarism.
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
• Be approximately 5-8 pages in length, not including the
required cover page and reference page.

15. • Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an
introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a
conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course, the
course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles
from the library to support your positions, claims, and
observations, in addition to your textbook. The Library is a
great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using
excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded
in part on the quality of your writing.

Self-Assessment Interpretation
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: There are no right or
wrong answers to these questions, but your answers
reveal your moral philosophy.
If everyone
killed, society
would be
chaotic and
there would
be no
happiness or
peace of
mind for
anyone.

18. Agree
In some
cases killing
is justified
because it
brings peace
of mind and
comfort to
those close
to the dying
person.
Neither
Agree
nor
Disagree
Whatever my
decision, it
has led me to
some
abstract goal
for myself
(e.g.,
salvation,
honor, fame,
self-
actualization,
respectability,
etc.).
Neither
Agree

19. nor
Disagree
In this case
it’s just right
to kill.
Disagree
If everyone
killed when
they wanted
to, society
would
crumble and
wouldn’t be
able to meet
the physical
needs of its
members.
Agree
In some
cases, killing
is justified
because it
allows
another
person to
overcome
physical pain
and suffering.

Agree
nor

In this case it
is just wrong
to kill.

Instructions: Below (on page 2) is a sample of the template data
to assist you in your creative thinking for week one! On the
weekly ethics portfolio, you are welcome to submit it along
with the week one assignment, however it is not required. It is a
note taking template. I highly encourage everyone to submit it
each week, as this helps to keep you on track, but again, it is
not required. You will use the template note-taking document to
assist you in the final ethics portfolio assignment.
Additional Guidance:
For the week one assessment results, please add them to the
template that you will use for the final course project. This
template is a type of “note taking” document. For the formal
final assignment, you will need to have your final project in
paragraph format, proper APA format, etc. For the purpose of
the week one assignment, etc. you are welcome to just include
bullet point comments, as a note taking type record of your

23. thoughts. Or you may elect to begin to formalize the document
in paragraph format. You will not be deducted credit if you
submit bullet point format for week one.
The instructions on this assignment are intentionally somewhat
“loose” to not box you in on your thinking. You can begin to
relate some of your assessment results to the template
information. As you build this template document over the next
several weeks, it will begin to “come together” and make sense
and you continue to record your thoughts on all the items
required each week. It may not seem to full start to make sense
until week three or four, but it will!
The week one assessment results serve as somewhat of a
foundational start and you will continue to build on those
elements for the future weeks. You are welcome to discuss the
results “overall” and conceptually. You do not need to box your
thinking into what only the results say in black and white.
Please feel free to expand on your thinking of what you believe
the results mean to you.
The great thing about an ethics class, is that there is really not a
“wrong” answer! You just need to show that you are outlining
your thinking and that you continue to correlate your thinking
to the assignments each week. Sometimes you may say, “I
didn’t really agree with everyone” And that is ok! Or you may
say, “My response this week didn’t directly tie into my
assessment results, but for this topic, I do feel differently
because…” And that is ok!
