Write a short narrative that describes the kiosk check-out process.

The library board wants to investigate self-service kiosks in more detail. They want to be sure that the kiosks will enforce these two rules: (i) a patron may not have more than 10 items checked out at any time, and (ii) patrons may not check out any materials if they owe $5 or more in fines.Write a short (not more than 750 words) narrative that describes the kiosk check-out process.Illustrate the check-out process using your choice of workflow diagram, activity diagram, or flow chart. Explain why you selected that type of diagram.The library’s IT department could create its own software for the kiosk or purchase an off-the-shelf system. Prepare a detailed list of the benefits and drawbacks for each option. Recommend one option and explain your reasoning.Identify an ethical, legal, or cultural issue that may arise in connection with these kiosks. Suggest how it could be addressed.

Are there different degrees of cheating?

Read “For the Manager’s Desk Re: a State of the Union on academic ethics” on page 28 and consider the questions under it in 2.2. Then locate news articles on Operation Varsity Blues. Locate current statistics on academic cheating at the Center for Academic Integrity at Clemson University, http://www.academicintegrity.org.In your paper, consider the relationship between the parents, the schools, the school officials, and the students. What happens to society and when cheating becomes so pervasive? How can schools address these pervasive problems? Should there be laws that punish cheating? What laws apply to the conduct of the parents and school officials?Create a framework that provides a method for schools and society (and possibly government) to analyze these problems. Include a continuum of severity. Make recommendations for actions at different stages of the continuum. (In other words, should a first time cheater face the same consequences as a multi-time cheater? Are there different degrees of cheating?)After you have analyzed the situation, make recommendations to educators, parents, students, and government (possibly local school boards?) to institute a culture of ethical behavior.Please summarize your findings in a six to eight page paper addressing the questions and research related to the ethical issues. In your summary, please note a strategy that educational leaders can implement to manage the ethical problems in the current educational system. Please cite all sources.The paper should be in APA 6th Ed. format:Assignment cover pageContent of the PaperReference section

Determine whether you believe that the federal responses to the Great Depression by President Franklin Roosevelt encouraged real economic growth and confidence or whether the arguments by critics of the day were accurate that it made the Depression last longer.

What does it mean to be a skeptic?

After reading the textbook about Descartes (section 29; pp. 275-283), and after watching Cartesian Skepticism–Neo, Meet Rene: Crash Course Philosophy #5answer/address the following:1. Give your own definition of skepticism (no Googling!). What does it mean to be a skeptic? What should be the ultimate goal of skepticism? Is it just to question, or it is to question in order to arrive at a better understanding of something?2. Is there anything that Descartes questioned that you think he shouldn’t have? Is there anything he should have questioned but didn’t?3. How do you see skepticism play out in today’s political or social climate? Are people truly following philosophical skepticism and questioning the social media posts they see, and are they questioning what they hear on the news, YouTube videos, etc.? Or do you think people are only skeptical of views different from their own?4. Is there something in your own life you have questioned and arrived at a different answer, or is there something you have questioned and then arrived back at your initial answer? Does skepticism contribute to the idea attributed to Socrates that an unexamined life is not worth living? Is skepticism the way to happiness and fulfillment, or does it make for a depressing life?5. Is there anything about Descartes’ views that you do not understand or that you need clarification on? (Help your classmates by answering their questions).300 words minimum.

Identify five common project risk strategies employed to address threats that your project may face. Give an example of each.

Your task for this part of the assessment item is to answer the following two questions. Each question will carry equal (20 marks) and your answer for each question should be around 800 words:Identify five common project risk strategies employed to address threats that your project may face. Give an example of each.Projects are often completed late. Describe the techniques you would use as a project manager to improve the accuracy and reliability of your project schedule.In responding to the above points, be sure to:Critique project theory based on your experience and understanding. This is important –don’t just “regurgitate” the theoryProvide examples, data or other relevant information to support your discussion. Examples can be from work experience, research, study group experience, for example. They should demonstrate the theoretical points you are asserting in the questions.
