Lab Steps

Part A: Get Photos

The photos can be obtained through http://quest.eb.com.proxy.devry.edu/ or from http://commons.wikimedia.org.

If you have personal images that you wish to use for the assignment, be sure that you cite them correctly according to APA guidelines.

All of the images that you use should be cited in the Sources document that accompanies this assignment.

IMPORTANT! Make sure that the version of each image that you use for the slideshow is less than 500K. Ten images at 500K is 5 MB, and adding the document should total no more than 7 MB.

Part B: Research Slideshow Code

Do some research on the Web to find code that will let you take your photos and build a slideshow on a page. Try to find code that is CSS based and doesn’t require a lot of JavaScript.

One example is http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/04/25/pure-css3-cycling-slideshow/  

Part C: Build Page and Document Sources

Create the slideshow according to your selected research, using the images that you located in step 1.

The slideshow should run automatically and should contain a text-based title for each slide.

Write a description of the process that the slideshow uses to cycle through the slides and cite the source of your code.

Part D: Complete the Lab Report

Download the CIS363 Lab Report document from Doc Sharing.

The lab report must be completed for all labs. The key parts of the report include the following.

Objectives: A one-paragraph explanation of the purpose of the lab.

Results: Include a screenshot of the working website or page.

Conclusions: A one-paragraph explanation of what you learned while completing the lab, any challenges you had to work through, and how you can use what you learned going forward.

Choose one Suggested Topics and three principles of normative ethics from the list below, and complete the ethical matrix.

 

• Step 1:  Identify the ethical dilemma based on one of the broad categories identified. An example (following here) might be to falsify your personal profile in a social networking site.
• Step 2: Identify the stakeholders involved. You, someone who reads your personal profile in a social network site, potential employers, etc.
• Step 3:  Choose any three of the principles that might apply such as autonomy, publicity, and veracity.
• Step 4: identify how the dilemma affect each stakeholder based on the principles you identified. Put this statement in the matrix next to the stakeholder.

 

Suggested Topics:

 

• Identity Theft
• Consumer Profiling
• Treating Consumer Data Responsibly
• Workplace Monitoring
• Advanced Surveillance Technology

 

Choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics:

 

• Autonomy: the duty to maximize the individual’s right to make his or her own decisions.
• Beneficence: the duty to do good both individually and for all.
• Confidentiality: the duty to respect privacy of information and action.
• Equality: the duty to view all people as moral equals.
• Finality: the duty to take action that may override the demands of law, religion, and social customs.
• Justice: the duty to treat all fairly, distributing the risks and benefits equally.
• Non-maleficence: the duty to cause no harm, both individually and for all.
• Understanding/Tolerance: the duty to understand and to accept other view points if reason dictates doing so is warranted.
• Publicity: the duty to take actions based on ethical standards that must be known and recognized by all who are involved.
• Respect for persons: the duty to honor others, their rights, and their responsibilities. Showing respect others implies that we do not treat them as a mere means to our end.
• Universality: the duty to take actions that hold for everyone, regardless of time, place, or people involved. This concept is similar to the Categorical Imperative.
• Veracity: the duty to tell the truth.

2) why I chose the three principles; and

3) an analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the matrix. 

ssignment: Individual Reflection: Blueprint for Professional and Personal Growth –Your Future as a Manager, with Executive Summary of Class and Collaboration Skills

As you begin this assignment, review the broad range of topics presented throughout the course related to managing people and fostering collaboration. Clearly, 8 weeks does not provide enough time to explore all the topics of this course as deeply as you might have liked. For this final Individual Reflection, select concepts or topics that resonated with you during this course and commit to learning more about them. To bring this commitment to life, identify concrete action items that will support your goal to deepen your personal learning experience in the coming year. Then, consider the following:

• What can you do now to integrate the experiences and insights you had in this course with your personal and professional development goals?
•  What are the most important things you are taking from this course that will shape your future and enable you to make a positive difference?

The Assignment

All components of the assignment must be turned in as one document:

 

1. The executive summary: Write an Executive Summary of the course (2–3 paragraphs) that addresses the following questions:
   • Which content and assignments in this course improved your understanding of managing people and fostering collaboration within your organization (or one with which you are familiar)?
   • What impact has your improved understanding had or you anticipate they will have on the value you will bring to your role within an organization?
   • How have the content and assignments changed the way you think of the manager’s role within the organization and the way you will practice management and collaboration?
   • How have the content and assignments shaped your goals now and how do you anticipate they will shape your goals in the future?
2. After considering what you have learned in the course, review the article by Christensen (2010). Then create a strategy for your professional and personal life that will enable you to be the person you described in “Your Sentence” in Week 3. As part of your strategy, be sure to include responses to the following questions:
   • How can I be sure that I will be happy in my career and be the manager I aspire to be?
   • How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse/partner and my family become an enduring source of happiness?
   • How can I be sure I will maintain my personal integrity, regardless of ethically challenging situations, or morally ambiguous situations? (Hint: Most people consider themselves to be ethical and would not think they could violate their personal integrity. But what would you do if your employer asked you to perform a task or make a decision you are ethically uncomfortable with (but is not illegal), when failure to carry out such a task would risk your termination, your next promotion, or upcoming pay increase? What might you do if you discovered that a task or policy you carried out in good faith had unforeseen consequences you would feel the need to correct? Seriously reflect on how you will safeguard your own integrity, even when faced with an ethically ambiguous situation, potentially harsh personal consequences, or attempting to right a wrong you may have committed.)
3. Your action plan: Write a detailed action plan for one new goal for professional and personal development (you will continue to build on the list of goals you started in your previous course). Include the following in your action plan:

• Your specific goal for professional and personal development with an explanation as to why you selected the goal. Be sure to provide concrete and specific examples of why the goal is important, the personal or professional value you expect from achieving each goal, and how the goal relates to the resources you reviewed in the course.
• At least two objectives for the goal you have identified. Provide a rationale that explains how your objectives support the goal.

Submit by Day 7 of this Week.

To submit your Assignment, do the following:

• Save your Assignment as a “.doc” file with the filename “WK8Assgn+last name+first initial.doc”. For example, Sally Ride’s filename would be “WK8AssgnRideS.doc”.
• To upload your Assignment, click on Assignments on the course navigation menu, and then click the “Assignment Turnitin – Week 8” link.

Select a product or service. Then select three different organizations that provide your selected product or service and compare the prices associated with your selected product or service. What is the difference between the prices among the different organizations? What is the rationale for this difference? Think about whether the product/service is a premium brand, a value brand, a family brand, or a generic brand. How does that impact the pricing?

Be sure to cite your sources. You must use our class textbooks as some of your sources.
