University of Phoenix – CMGT/442 – Information Systems Risk Management

/in /by

Your consulting organization has been hired to develop computer systems for the United Nations in the Middle East.

Create a Risk Information Sheet for at least five potential risks that should be considered.  At least three of the risks you choose should be business continuity and IT disaster recovery related.  As part of this, consider man-made and natural risks that might apply to this particular situation. 

Please note the following:

  • The risk description should fully describe the risk
  • The probability is the likelihood that the risk will occur (i.e., low, medium, or high)
  • The impact is how the organization will be effected if the risk does occur (i.e., low, medium, or high)
  • The rationale should explain the reasons for your probability and impact assessments
  • The mitigation strategy should explain how each risk will be addressed
  • There should be one risk information sheet for each risk identified
  • The risk information sheets can be completed in Word, Excel®, or PowerPoint®

The results of your assessment for each risk should be plotted in a Risk Matrix.  One axis should be probability, while the other axis should be impact. The overall risk level will be the intersection of these two factors on the matrix. The risk assessment matrix can be completed in your choice of Word, Excel®, or PowerPoint®.

The following is an example of a risk matrix with certain accidents allocated to appropriate cells within the matrix:

 

 

Negligible

Marginal

Critical

Catastrophic

Certain

Stubbing Toe

 

 

 

Likely

 

Fall

 

 

Possible

 

 

Major Car Accident

 

Unlikely

 

 

Aircraft Crash

Argumentative Instructions

You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader specifically notes.

If the assignment does not address one of the given options, it will not be graded. 

 

Option #1: Your Position on Pirated Movies

Develop a thesis statement on the topic of pirated movies (piracy hurts the economy by…, society can prevent movie piracy by…, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (this resource) ill help you craft your counter argument and refutation). Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. Beginning of a sample topic sentence: “The first way movie piracy hurts the economy is….” Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main ideas. 

Sample Thesis Statement: 

Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Movie piracy is unethical because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus).” Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the counterargument in addition to your own arguments. 

See The Top Ten Tips for College-Level Writing (Presentation) for more thesis statement assistance. 

Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use MLA format (Tip: You will find useful MLA resources within the course topics, particularly in Topic 9) to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay. For additional Works Cited assistance visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/and use the left navigation menu to locate the type of reference you need.

Option #2: Your Position on Electronic Policing

Develop a thesis statement on the topic of electronic policing and anti-plagiarism software and write an argumentative essay. Your chosen topic needs to be specific and might address a question like the ones you see in these examples:

  • Should student writers be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software? Why or why not? 
  • Is anti-plagiarism software an effective deterrent to stealing published work? Why or why not? 
  • You may choose another topic regarding electronic policing as well; just be sure that your main thesis addresses the topic of electronic policing. 

Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (this resource) will help you craft your counter argument and refutation). Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. For example, “First, students should be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software because….” Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main ideas.

Sample Thesis Statement:

Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Students’ work should be checked by anti-plagiarism software because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus).” 

Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use the MLA format to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay. For additional Works Cited assistance visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/  and use the left navigation menu to locate the type of reference you need.

More Tips 

Visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/588/01/ for more argumentative thesis statement assistance and to learn if your thesis is both arguable and narrowed.

A counter-argument section for this paper should explain what the opposition believes, and it is the opposite of the opinion you are arguing in your paper. For example, if you are arguing that anti-plagiarism software should not be used in college classes, then the counterargument would be that anti-plagiarism software should be used. Then in your refutation, try to prove the counterargument false, insignificant, or unimportant with researched information that is new to the essay (avoid recycling facts from a previous argument in the essay). 

This resource will help you craft your counter argument and refutation.

The guidelines and requirements for this assignment are as follows:

Remember to apply the concepts you’re learning in the course, including elements of grammar, punctuation, thesis development, and other skills. 

Length: This assignment should be at least 750 words

“A good way to test whether you understand competing philosophical theories is to apply the theories to the same situation and try to determine why they lead to different explanations or predictions. Let us try this with behaviorism and the identity theory. Consider the following situation: Suppose that you are going through a difficult time in your life. Each evening after you go to bed, you start thinking that your life is simply meaningless and empty. You are tired of having these thoughts and decide that you want to change your mind. You want to get rid of these depressing late-night thoughts.

1. Suppose behaviorism is true. How would a behaviorist try to change his mind in this situation?

2. Suppose identity theory is true. How would an identity theorist go about changing her mind?” (Rauhut, 2011)

Answer each of these questions noting why your answer fits with that particular theory. Write 100 word or more paragraph for each question. (TOTAL 200 WORDS OR MORE, NO MORE THAN 300 WORDS)

CAN YOU PLEASE DO 2 PARAGRAPHES FOLLOWING EXACTLY LIKE THIS BELOW:

1) Thoroughly addresses all parts of the question

2) Substantive. Answered the question in depth.

3) Well organized, clear and concise throughout.

4) Mechanics reflect careful editing

5) DO NOT plagiarism and it will be on turnitin

6)PLEASE FOLLOW EXACTLY WHAT I HIGHLIGHT AND BLOD FRONTS

7) NO MLA (outside source), JUST ONLY THE LINK THAT I ATTACHED ABOVE

 

PLEASE FOLLOWING ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND DO NOT MISSING ANYTHING. THANK YOU

Compare and Contrast

Compare and Contrast Instructions

The table below provides an extensive list of topic options from which you must select, and we recommend that you choose one that you are interested in beyond this course. For instance, if you are a Finance or Business major, you might be interested in the Stocks v. Bonds topic. If you are a Political Science major, you might choose Monarchy v. Presidency. Or perhaps you’re taking StraighterLine’s Intro to Philosophy course, in which case you might opt for the Hobbes v. Locke topic. Note that you must use at least one credible source to support your ideas. 

Additional helpful resources:

Compare/Contrast Rubric | Compare and Contrast Sample

You may choose any of these topics:
Topic Options

•Stocks v. Bonds

•Socialism v. Capitalism

•Hitler v. Napoleon

•Apple v. Microsoft

•Renaissance Art v. Baroque Art (or any two artistic periods)

•Biology v. Chemistry

•America in the 1950s v. the 1970s

•Women in 1914 v. today

•Pop Culture in the 1980s v. Pop Culture today

•Abraham Lincoln v. Thomas Jefferson (or any two presidencies)

•British English v. American English

•Writing for print v. Writing for the Web•American Government v. Canadian Government (or any world government) 

•US Constitution v. Articles of Confederation

•Star Wars v. Star Trek

•Monarchy v. Presidency 

•Thomas Hobbes v. John Locke (or any two philosophers) 

•The former USSR v. Russia today 

•(World War) Allies v. Axis 

•Maya Angelou v. Adrienne Rich (or any two poets) 

•Nazism v. Fascism

 

Choose one of the options above and write an essay comparing or contrasting the two topics in your selection using EITHER the point-by-point OR the subject-by-subject method to organize the details and specific examples. Consider focusing on three to five subtopics and generate ideas through prewriting. Develop a strong thesis statement for your essay that includes your two topics from the list above; your three to five subtopics; and a claim about how they are similar, different, or both. 

Sample Thesis Statements:

If you will argue that your two topics are mostly similar:

Topic A and Topic B share many similar characteristics, including (Supporting point 1), (Supporting point 2), and (Supporting point 3); while they differ in (Additional supporting point), the similarities greatly outweigh the differences. 

OR

If you will argue that your two topics are mostly different:

While Topic A and Topic B have (Additional supporting point) in common, they are mostly quite different; in fact, they differ in characteristics such as (Supporting point 1), (Supporting point 2), and (Supporting point 3).

OR

If you will argue that your two topics have many important/interesting similarities and differences: 

Analyzing Topic A and Topic B reveals many fascinating similarities as well as differences; for instance, they share (Supporting point 1) and (Supporting point 1), but are vastly different when it comes to (Supporting point 3) and (Supporting point 4). 

 

Tips

To brainstorm, you might consider using a Venn diagram or a simple list to show what your topics have in common and how they differ. Then you can select the most prominent or interesting characteristics that you want to highlight in your paper. 

Be sure to avoid beginning your comparisons or contrasts in the introduction. Your thesis is the only place in the introduction where you will include this information. Use the introduction to get your reader’s attention, and consider using a good strategy that leads into the topic. For instance, you might relate a short anecdote to illustrate your topic, an interesting quotation that relates to your topic, or perhaps a surprising statistic that reveals something about your topic. 

Then, in the body paragraphs remember to support your claim(s) outlined in the thesis. For instance, if one of your points says the city and the country are different in terms of transportation, be sure the topic sentence of one body paragraph presents a similar statement. In addition, spend equal time on each subtopic in each body paragraph, and one way to develop organized body paragraphs is to focus on one topic before moving to the next one so that the paragraph support is split 50/50. In other words, using the example above, you would explain the transportation options in the city in full, and then, you would detail the types of contrasting transportation in the country. End each body paragraph with a strong concluding sentence that synthesizes that paragraph’s discussions. 

The conclusion should sum up the specific supporting points as well as your overall assessment of why these points are important. Consider what kinds of interesting or new conclusions you can draw from your comparison. In other words, your essay must reveal why your comparison is important. A well-developed paragraph often contains a minimum of five sentences. Note that any of the main sections below labeled with Roman Numerals (I, II, III, IV) could be more than just a single paragraph. 

Point-by-Point

I. Introduction 
    A. Thesis 
    B. Additional information to introduce your topic and gain the reader’s attention

II. Supporting point 1 
    A. Topic 1 
    B. Topic 2 

III. Supporting point 2 
    A. Topic 1 
    B. Topic 2 

IV. Supporting point 3
    A. Topic 1 
    B. Topic 2 

V. Supporting point 4 or Additional point
    A. Topic 1 
    B. Topic 2 

VI. Conclusion 
    A. Reiterate your thesis (but do not simply restate it from the introduction)
    B. Give your overall assessment—the “so what” factor—about your topic. For instance, is one topic better than the other for some reason? Is one topic misunderstood?

 

Subject-by-Subject

    A. Thesis: While cats and dogs are both clear winners when it comes to pet choices, these animals are vastly different when it comes to noise level, exercise needs, and cleanliness. 

II. Subtopic 1: Noise level 
    A. Topic 1: Cats are quiet
    B. Topic 2: Dogs can be noisy 

III. Subtopic 2: Exercise
    A. Topic 1: Cats do not have to be walked 
    B. Topic 2: Dogs require exercise 

IV. Subtopic 3: Cleanliness

Week 5 Assignment: Create a document in Microsoft Word that is formatted as an annotated bibliography. On the document:

 

  • State the format style you are using: Chicago, APA,  MLA, or Bluebook.
  • The annotated bibliography can easily be built from the source search worksheet used in week 3 of this course and additional sources you have selected.
  • List at least four (4), different types of credible sources (not just four websites) you will use in your final career interest project.
    • Two (2) of these sources should be scholarly and from the APUS library.
  • Provide the essential information for each source including
    • author name(s)
    • title of the source
    • and other details required by your chosen citation style.
  • For each source, write an original paragraph of five to eight (5-8)  sentences
    • summarizing the source information (annotations)
    • evaluating the sources and explaining why the source could be relevant to your project 
  • Write the summary in your own words rather than providing a copy of the abstract.

 

After submitting the assignment, review your similarity score and make sure your score is less than 20%. If it is higher than 20%, expand on your summary and explanation then submit the revision.

 

Information about creating an annotated bibliography and what one looks like can be found in the APUS library: http://library.sjsu.edu/video/annotated-bibliographies

 

Remember: Select ONE citation method you want to use based on your academic degree program. Return to Lesson 4 if you need to see the list of disciplines and their corresponding citation styles. The majority of students will probably use APA, but MLA, but Chicago/Turabian may also be used.

 

Upload your annotated bibliography by 11:55 PM (EDT) Sunday of Week 5.
