Tonys Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired you to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The companys leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. In addition, they want the site redesigned to allow customers to order products online.As part of your job, you must complete a 10-to-15 page paper that follows this project through the system development life cycle (SDLC). This assignment will require you to do the following:Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available.
The Web architecture should describe and justify operating system choices (i.e., Linux, Apache, MYSQL, PHP, Windows, IIS, SQL, etc.).
Evaluate alternatives to the company self-hosting the site.
Build a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project or equivalent software, showing all tasks associated with implementing the Website.
The chart should include a minimum of five (5) tasks, each with three (3) sub-tasks.
Explain and justify the system architecture you have selected.
Illustrate the system architecture using Visio or equivalent software.
Create a use case that documents the event of a customer ordering a bag of chips from the new Website.
The use case should include a graphical representation using Visio or equivalent software and a text description of the events.
Discuss the support operations that the internally hosted Website will require after implementation.
Explain how you will evaluate the performance of the new site and the success of your project.
The specific Course Learning Outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Design high-level logical system characteristics (user interface design, design of data, and information requirements).
Use contemporary CASE tools in process and data modeling.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in systems analysis and development.
Write clearly and concisely about Systems Analysis and Development topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Some ideas are: Women in the New Testament (e.g., over-all treatment of women, significant women/women leaders, women in a particular book of the New Testament) Religion and cult in the New Testament (early Christian rituals; Christians and Roman cults, etc.) Text Criticism of the New Testament (study of original texts and manuscripts and their change over time) New Testament and Judaism (Jesus and Judaism, Paul and Judaism) Issues in the contemporary study of Jesus or Paul (Historical Jesus; changing perspectives on Paul) Archeology and the New Testament (general or focused on specific findings or sites that are significant) Shape/Nature of early Christian communities (potentially focused on key figures, such as early leadership, Christian prophets, etc.) Theology in the New Testament (Christology; theories of atonement and salvation; eschatology, etc.) Supernaturalism and the New Testament (Healing; Magic; Demonology) New Testament Backgrounds (Dead Sea Scrolls and their impact on study of the New Testament; Jewish history and the New Testament, etc.) The aim is for you to be able to summarize the basics of how this topic enriches our study of the New Testament. If you have your own idea, please run it by me so we can be sure that you are set up for success. 2) Be 3-5 written pages (absolutely not longer), typed and double spaced in a standard 10-12 point font. This page count will not include any title page or bibliography page, and will consist of at least 3 pages FULL of text (half pages will be counted as half pages). 3) Be in clear and readable prose. Not only do I expect you to write with proper grammar and punctuation as befitting academic style, I also expect you to give the paper a “flow”: give an introductory paragraph that briefly describes and outlines what you are studying and why, a body in which you lay out the evidence and discuss it, and a conclusion that tells us what we have learned and how this relates to your stated goals in the introduction, along with transitional statements that help move your paper forward to the conclusion. 4) Demonstrate the use of 3 academic sources not including the Bible or unqualified internet sources (no blogs, no online articles that are only opinion based and do not reference academic source material). You may use the course textbook, but I recommend that one of your sources be a Bible dictionary, such as any of the volumes of the IVP Dictionary Series (Dictionary of New Testament Backgrounds, Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, Dictionary of Paul and His Letters, Dictionary of the Later New Testament and Its Developments), the Anchor Bible Dictionary, or the New Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible. As for style, APA, Chicago, or Turabian are acceptable formats. The key is consistency and proper citation of sources. In addition to the in-text citations or footnotes, your sources must also appear in a bibliography at the end of the paper (which will NOT count as a separate paper) The paper will be due on the date of the final exam. Those who submit papers early will be granted extra credit. Grading Rubric: The following categories will be marked as successful (2), attempted but not complete (1), or not attempted (0) and will be used to determine your grade (x/10): On topic – did identity a topic, study it, and summarize your findings? 0 / 1/ 2 Proper length (3-5 pages) 0 / 1/ 2 Clearly written – did you write with proper grammar and spelling, also creating a “flow” by proper use of transitions? 0 / 1/ 2 Style – did you use proper academic style, including an introduction, body, conclusion, and using transitions between points or ideas? Use of quality sources – does your paper demonstrate that you researched the topic, using at least 3 proper academic resources? 0 / 1/ 2 Proper citation – did you incorporate your sources into your paper with proper citation, giving credit where due (and thus avoiding plagiarism)? 0 / 1/ 2

Paper Topic A historian recently wrote that one of her greatest concerns in the modern perception of history is that what happened in the past only matters to that time when it happened. It is more than reasonable to be able to examine the United States of 2018 and see that we are most definitely connected to our past, especially this past century. For our research paper we will explore the theme of protest and how it has remained a part of this nations development. Identifying a specific group/person and a specific act or instance of protest from the 20th century in the United States of America, argue whether or not protest was a necessary or even proper action to pursue. Furthermore, in your final paragraph you must connect your chosen example to a current issue and/or event (something from 2013 to 2018). Aside from identifying what happened, you will need to analyze the deeper meanings of your example of protest. In your research and analysis you should consider the following: ? What social, economic, and political conditions existed at the time of your example? ? What was the exact goal or desire of the protest? ? Was it just? ? Did it result in change, and was that change what was desired? ? Was the end result a sign of progress? How to select your example? ? Following with our course timeframe, examples must come from within US history from 1865 to 2000. ? Be distinct! Use specific people or events rather than selecting broad social movements. ? If you wish to use an example from the African American Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, contact the instructor and gain permission. Examples may not come from materials we use in the lectures and this movement is one that we dedicate two lecture to in our course. ? Conduct some preliminary research (JSTOR and ebooks databases recommended) in order to see how much information is available. ? Be able to discuss the context within which your example exists historically (i.e. see the questions posted earlier).

In this essay you will write a proposal for transforming your Toulmin argument into a Rogerian argument or other form that deals with normal, non-rational responses to evidence. Very important: This is a proposal for a Rogerian argument, not an actual Rogerian argument. Your target audience will be people who know what you know about your Toulmin argument and share the same conclusion. Think of them as a group of people who are trying to get out the same message to a wider audience. Your goal is not to support the same conclusion that you supported in that argument. Instead, your goal is to point out the things that might get in the way of that message–things we have learned in this class about why facts are often misinterpreted and usually fail to convince people to give up false beliefs. You will need to explain one or more concepts from the class (see list below) and then argue for a strategy to use the Rogerian argument when arguing for your conclusion (from the Toulmin argument). Example:Toulmin essay conclusion: The MMR vaccine does not cause autism.Proposal essay audience: People who know the MMR vaccine does not cause autism and who know that Wakefield is responsible for that misinformation.Proposal essay claim: “We should use Rogerian strategies of argumentation to help parents understand that the MMR vaccine is safe.”Proposal essay premise 1: “Parents who believe the MMR myth will react to counterevidence with the backfire effect.”Proposal essay premise 2: “Using a Rogerian argument will reduce the backfire effect and encourage parents to be open-minded about counterevidence.” Requirements for proposal essay: Identify either an alternative conclusion to the one you supported in your Toulmin essay. This could be either a counterargument (such as Jenny McCarthy’s response to Brian Deer) or a misinterpretation of facts (such as Rachel Quigley’s article about Robert Sapolsky’s stress vaccine). It could be the counterargument identified in your Toulmin argument, or it could be a new one.
Cite a specific source that misrepresents or disagrees with your position. Then fully, fairly, and sympathetically explain its argument.
Identify and discuss one concept from the class that may explain why people may misunderstand or reject your argument. The concepts we have covered include (but are not limited to) the backfire effect, the illusion of knowledge, cognitive dissonance, false-positive pattern recognition, seizing & freezing, heuristics, ideological conformity, confirmation bias, and any logical fallacy. Cite a source to help explain the concept. Use at least one of the assigned readings OR one of the peer-reviewed studies described in one of those readings to help explain this concept. Lecture slides from class will not count. Find the original publication.
Describe how your Toulmin argument could be converted into a Rogerian argument. Cite a source to help explain the potential effectiveness of such an argument. You can use Maxine Hairston’s (1976) article, Cook & Lewandowsky’s (2012) “Debunking Handbook,” or a similar source to explain how to overcome cognitive biases.
Use one of the sources from assigned class reading or a similar source to help explain at least one cognitive bias that might hinder the reception of your argument. The essay should be 4-5 pages and include an additional reference list.
