• Ask the interviewee about his or her work, academic preparation, and advice. In addition, include the interviewee’s answers to questions on the following topics:
  • The experience, skills, and knowledge necessary for success in a career in psychology or in graduate school
  • Relevant professional organizations
  • His or her views on professional ethics and academic integrity
  • The role of psychological research in his or her work
  • His or her greatest challenges and rewards
  • His or her reasons for choosing the field
• Develop a script (word-for-word written statement) that you will use during the warm-up (meet-and-greet) portion of the interview. What will you say to the interviewee when you meet him or her? What will you do? For example, will you shake the person’s hand and introduce yourself? Include small talk of a professional nature that will serve as an introduction and explanation of the purpose of the interview. Demonstrate in your script your ability to interact professionally and effectively in a professional environment.
• This assignment is preparatory work for the interview to be conducted later in this course. 

Submission Details:

• Write a 1–2-page paper in Microsoft Word format. Apply APA standards to cite sources.

Case Study 3: Security

A large, fast-food chain unveiled a new touch screen register for its franchises. Each cashier was assigned a user id and password combination to log in to the register. The system allowed the incorrect password to be entered four (4) times before the register would lock and require a manager to unlock it with a key card. To prevent unauthorized access, the registers would lock after three (3) minutes if the screen was not touched. When the register locked, only the cashier who was logged in prior to it locking could unlock it without a system restart.

After a few days in operation, restaurant managers started complaining about the amount of time they were spending unlocking the registers. Some cashiers were forgetting their user Id and password, so other cashiers would log in for them. It also seemed that the button layout made it easy for the cashiers to key in the incorrect password. The managers also complained that cashiers would leave for a break or end their shift and forget to log out of the locked register. The managers would have to reboot the system, a three to five (3-5) minute process in order for the next cashier to log in. Additionally, managers noticed that grease was building up on the touch screens, making them less responsive.

Write a five to eight (5-8) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze the new system and determine the design issues with this new system.
2. Describe how you would correct the design issues with the system to make the restaurant managers happy.
3. Create a design plan that:
   1. Lists and explains the tasks associated with improving this interface.
   2. Contains at least six (6) tasks.
   3. Includes realistic time estimates for each task to be completed.
   4. Analyzes the development of the system in your plan.
   5. Analyzes the testing of the system in your plan.
   6. Analyzes the implementation of the system in your plan.
4. Examine how this system balanced security and usability, and explain the challenges of incorporating system security and system usability into a design.
5. Suggest changes that could be made to the security of this system to still meet security objectives but make the system more usable.
6. Use Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative, Dia, to create a graphical representation of your proposed interface. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
7. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

look ahead at the Final Presentation in Week Five. The assignment this week is Part I of that presentation. For this assignment you will provide an overview of the U.S. healthcare system. Follow the instructions below to complete this part of your Final Presentation:

Introduction: Identify yourself and describe the nature of this presentation.

Part I (of the Final Presentation): The U.S. healthcare system. Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the following:

• • Describe the history (e.g., the teacher’s union in Dallas, Texas; The American Medical Association; first Marine Hospital).

• • Identify the major developments that transformed the system into what it is today (include financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [e.g., consumer demand]). You may want to revisit the healthcare timeline.

• Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (e.g., healthcare professionals, clients, political figures, schools, and what they do within the system).

The presentation must:

• • Be at least five slides (excluding a cover slide and reference slides) and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

• • Be presented using voice and/or video along with your Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation.  You have a choice of one of the following methods for adding voice and/or video:
    • • Microsoft PowerPoint including detailed speaker notes and recording your voice on each slide in the PPT. You can review the tutorials using these links on adding speaker notes to your presentation as well as adding and recording voice to each slide.
    • • • It is recommended that PowerPoint slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than 5 – 7 words each. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes and by recording your voice to each slide.
    • • • Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points.
    • • Other options for recording are the following screencast/video software programs: Screenr, Screencast-O-Matic, YouTube, and Jing are other good video resources that are free.  Review the Screenr Quick-Start Guide, Screencast-O-Matic Quick-Start Guide, or YouTube Quick-Start Guide for more information to help you get started. You may view the Screenr demonstration video or contact Screenr Help directly for assistance using the software program. You may also search on your own to locate a program of your choice.
    • It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the use of a voice and/or video. If you choose to use the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include speaker notes for each slide.

• • Be visually engaging. For assistance with designing the visuals for your presentation, view the video Don McMillan: Life after death by PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Best Practices tool.

• • Include a title slide with the following:
    • Title of the presentation
    • Student name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor name
    • Date submitted

• • Address the sections in the order outlined above (Introduction, Part I).

• • Present the issues with critical thought.

• • Use at least two scholarly sources (none of which should be media commentary, at least one should be from the Ashford University Library).

• • Document all sources in APA format (including graphics, charts and pictures that may be used within the presentation). Wikimedia Commons is a recommended source for creative commons images.

• Include a separate reference slide formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
