For this task, imagine that you are talking to one of your fellow students who is very excited because her professor in another class just asked her for a date. You dont believe that this is appropriate. What if anything, should you do?
This assignment requires you to be honest in evaluating all the personal and ethical issues involved. Some of the issues involved include the possibility that you may be taking a course with this same professor; therefore, you are concerned about attending a program in which unethical behavior is condoned or ignored, allowing your fellow student to be taken advantage of. On the other hand, is this situation any of your business?
Write a brief reflection paper on this issue. Other than reviewing the relevant APA Ethical Standards and the text, no outside resources are needed for this assignment. Your paper must support your conclusion of your determined action or non-action.

List the pros and cons about the ways the discussed databases have been used.
Assignment Question: List the pros and cons about the ways the discussed databases have been used. Your responses should show that you’ve thought about your classmates’ initial posts. Your responses should continue the conversation, offer new ideas, and ask questions if something doesn’t make sense, if necessary.Peer Post # 1Hello everyone, my name is Karina. Im studying for a BS in computer science with a concentration in software engineering. I’m from Puerto Rico, and have also lived in New York and Miami. Ive been teaching English in Japan for the last 9 years, but I want to start a career as a software or web developer. I hope this course will help me to learn about databases and how to design and implement them effectively so I can create great software or websites. Many years ago, I used to work at a library and often used a database to look for patrons, lend books out to them, see what books they were currently borrowing, what books they ordered or had on hold, if they had any overdue books. Of course, I also used the database of books themselves to look for books by author, title, genre, etc., and their location in the library or if they were in other library branches. It made our job easier, since we could find the information we needed quickly with the scan of a barcode or typing in the search box. More recently, I’d been studying web development and created a website with a database using MongoDB. The idea was that users could curate a list of their favorite restaurants (including information like address, kind of food, any extra comments), then the website would randomly suggest a restaurant from that database when users were hungry but couldn’t decide on a place to eat. To make a diagram of a database, we need to know what kind of information will be stored in the database, how it is broken up and (if it’s a relational database) the relationships and connections between them. We must also think about who will be using the database and why.Peer Post # 2My name is Dante, and I am super excited to start learning about databases and how to navigate them. I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in cyber security in hopes of becoming a penetrator tester someday. I am from Colorado Springs, Colorado, and live with my beautiful wife and our 4 kids. I chose the cyber security field because I have always had an interest in computers and how they work and thought how cool it would be to understand the security part of it. I am not entirely sure if this would be considered as using a database, however, the computer that I am currently using to attend school at one time would not boot up past the manufacturer screen because I had uploaded driver updates to my graphics card that wasnt designed for mine specifically. When I did get lucky enough to get to my desktop it would immediately crash. I had spent countless hours attempting to wipe the computer clean and start fresh and nothing would work. So eventually I came across instructions online that required me to use the command prompt and enter in queries very similar to the ones I have read about in chapter one. They had to be identical and were case sensitive and if I missed one character, I received an error. I ultimately was able to reset my computer back to the factory settings and it has worked perfectly fine since. At the time I was afraid that I would spend as much money as I did for my computer not to work. Information that I would need to make a diagram of a database could vary depending on what information is being tracked. First and foremost, you would need knowledge of how to insert the data as well as how to navigate within the database. You also need to know how to create the tables within the database. Other information that would be needed would be things such as names, ID numbers, population sizes, pricing, and etc.

Create an imaginary art exhibition based on a theme of your choosing. This exhibition should be based on course content and include 5 or more works of art that you select based on your theme. Your exhibition will also include an exhibition statement that contextualizes your ideas.
For this final assignment, you are going to create an imaginary art exhibition based on a theme of your choosing. This exhibition should be based on course content and include 5 or more works of art that you select based on your theme. Your exhibition will also include an exhibition statement that contextualizes your ideas. The Theme: Get creative! Themes like Impressionism or puppies are not going to give you much room for creativity. Now, puppies in Impressionism is starting to get more interesting, but I’m not sure there were many puppies in Impressionism, plus it still feels a bit limiting. The best themes are creative and broad, but not so broad that they are meaningless (for example, joy as a theme is so broad it lacks any significant meaning). The Exhibition Statement: The statement will have an introduction with a thesis statement that identifies your theme and explains the significance of your ideas. This statement should be written in 3rd person. It should be about 200-300 words and 2-3 paragraphs. This handout from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) will give you an overview of how you should approach the statement. The artwork: 5 or more artworks found using the same resources used in previous discussions: should be thoughtfully ordered in your exhibition to help illuminate your ideasshould be thoughtfully ordered to make connections between the works of art that comprise your exhibition. For this, you may want to imagine we are actually walking through a gallery space or museum space. What do we encounter first? What comes next? Why? can be of any time/place/ monetary value/cultural significance, etc. The sky is the limit! Format:PDF DocumentFirst, your exhibition statement which addresses your theme and makes connections between the artworks (refer to the RISD handout; examples near the end of the doc., 200-300 words/2-3 paragraphs).Next, 5 or more works of art in order. Be sure to properly cite artworks: title, medium, artist, and date.
