Discuss your own experiences or those of folks you know in this environment, and how you/they have coped with the potentially conflicting ethical dimensions of these and related issues.

IT and the worklife/homelife balance

What sort of experiences, if any, might you have had regarding your participation in an increasingly "24/7" work environment? If you haven’t experienced this yourself, you undoubtedly know one or people who have; talk to them about their experiences. To what degree does information technology of various sorts play a part in enabling this kind of increased connection between work and home life? Does this seem like a good bargain for both the employee and the employer, in your experience? How much choice is there given about the terms of this bargain? Overall, does it seem like a fair arrangement, or would you consider it to be ethically unbalanced?

Discuss your own experiences or those of folks you know in this environment, and how you/they have coped with the potentially conflicting ethical dimensions of these and related issues.

“In a short paragraph please answer the following question at the end of the essay.”
The haves haves and the have nots don’t. Ungrammatical, but true. Who "has" access and who does not in this country? What is the problem here really? Why do some people in the US have greater access to technology and to the web and others don’t. Is it geography? Money? Culture? Educational Background? What is the problem?

Is the digital divide just a marketing gimmick for selling computers in less developed countries or am I just being too cynical again?

Thanks,

Locate a E-book, and print off (I will do the printing) the full-title page and imprint page, which is usually on the reverse side of the full title page.

3. Demonstrate your skills in using journal article databases in the Deakin library. Use two databases of journal articles in the Deakin library to find bibliographic details of four academic journal articles related to your research topic. Identify relevant databases by using the Deakin library Subject Guide to ‘Articles via
databases’. Locate the full text of one of the journal articles, and print out (I will do the printing) the first page of the article.

4. Demonstrate your skills in using web searches to find two HIGH QUALITY websites related to your research topic. Use (i) a subject directory search, and (ii) an advanced search in Google to find two high quality websites related to your research topic. Print the first page of one of these sites.

Use the first person and past tense to describe what you did. At the end of the section, note the number of words used in the section. Make sure it is within the 450 to 550 range.

PART B – Reference list

Under the heading Reference list, draw up a single integrated reference list showing the bibliographic details of all ten items related to your research topic. Format the list using the author-date system of referencing. For
this assignment, the reference list is part of the main body of the paper, and you should include it immediately after your account of the search procedure.

PART D – Book review

In 700 to 750 words, under the heading Review of Good Study write a book review. Imagine that the editors of an academic journal have asked you to write the review for the journal’s undergraduate
student section. They want you to write in a standard, formal academic style. Remember that a review is partly descriptive and partly evaluative. When evaluating the reviewed book you should place it in the context of similar books. Use two similar study skills books from the library search to help you do this. One of these should be the E-book Studying and Learning at University: Vital Skills for Success in Your Degree (Pritchard 2008) which you’ll find in the Deakin library catalogue. Give bibliographic details of Good Study, Studying and Learning at University and the third book referred to in the review in a short reference list immediately at the end of the review. Finally, note the number of words used in the main body of the review (i.e. excluding the review’s
reference list). Make sure that the word count is within the 700 to 750 range.

Keep within the word range specified for each section. There is no ±10% margin when working with a word range.
