Creative Writing

In this project, you will describe a fictional case in a fictional school in which you believe there was a violation of the law you studied. Then, pretend you are the attorney in the case. Prepare your opening statement. Describe what happened and explain why it is a violation.

Paper – 30% of the final grade
This paper will allow students the opportunity to apply the information that they have learned in class to the “real” world.

Given your new expertise in developmental psychology, a magazine (of your choice!) has asked you to write an article for the June issue. The

editors want you to convey scientific information to a lay audience (i.e., people who have never taken a developmental psychology class before).

Lamaze’s “Mortimer the Moose” is advertised as being appropriate for babies at birth. Describe the perceptual, motor, and cognitive competencies

of newborns. Discuss the ways in which the toy is appropriate and inappropriate for newborns given these competencies. (what is appropriate for

this age group and what is not)

Students must support their arguments with material from lectures, the textbook, and research articles. The magazine article should be no longer

than five double-spaced pages with 1-inch margins written in 12-point Times New Roman font. APA style must be used when referencing and a

reference section must be included at the end of the article, but students do not have to adhere to any of the other rules of APA (e.g., running

heads, manuscript headers, etc.). Students are encouraged to consult other magazines to see how articles are written. The professor will provide

students with the marking key well in advance of the deadline.

*Support your argument with peer review articles. No today’s parent or Wikipedia.
Remember you are writing an article that will hypothetically be in a magazine article*

Network Design
You have been hired as part of the networking team at UMUC. After completing orientation and training, your manager calls you into a meeting to

discuss your first project.

The university has recently leased two buildings in Adelphi, Maryland. The buildings will house faculty and administrative offices, classrooms,

a library, and computer labs. Security is important for UMUC, as the university must protect students’ and employees’ data, as well as any

intellectual property that UMUC has on its servers and computers. As a result, IT management would like to take the time to review proposals on

how best to move forward on security issues. As a junior network engineer, you have been asked to prepare a network proposal on how to set up a

secure network infrastructure in the first building to support university operations. The network proposal will require three submissions

covering network design, network addressing and security, and network customization and optimization.
Your proposal will be submitted in three major parts:

Network Design (i.e., Part 1)
Network Addressing and Security (i.e., Part 2)
Network Customization and Optimization (i.e., Part 3)
Each of these parts will be submitted to the LEO Assignments folders and TurnItIn. Each of these parts should be submitted independently of the

other parts. That is, only submit Part 1 to the LEO – Assignments – Network Design Proposal Part 1 submission folder. Only submit Part 2 to the

LEO – Assignments – Network Design Proposal Part 2 submission folder. And, only submit Part 3 to the LEO – Assignments – Network Design Proposal

Part 3 submission folder.

To learn how you will be assessed on this assignment, take a moment to review the rubrics. The final deliverable should adhere to the following

criteria:

Use this template as a guide while creating your Network Design Proposal (Parts 1-3).
Include at least five scholarly references in each of the three submissions. Thus a total of fifteen scholarly references will be included.

Students may find scholarly sources by visiting UMUC’s library and online sources. Students will also include other credible sources as

appropriate.
Use IEEE-style citations. We do not use APA or MLA-style citations. Students should contact UMUC’s Effective Writing Center for assistance.
Use proper terminology and expand acronyms in each paragraph they are used. For example, the first time in a paragraph an acronym is used it

should be expanded (e.g., University of Maryland University College (UMUC). Thereafter, and as long as you are in the same paragraph, the

acronym (e.g., UMUC) can be used. When starting a new paragraph, the rule begins anew.
The use of figures and diagrams is encouraged. Students will properly cite the figures and diagrams according to the IEEE-style citation

“Is Jesus the only way to God”? Respond to this question exploring the uniqueness of Christ among other religions. Also, address whether or

not it is proper to claim that Jesus is the exclusive path to God within a culture that has largely adopted a pluralistic approach to

religion and truth. As you reply to one another in discussion, address the social and cultural ramifications in claiming that Jesus is the

only way to God. Finally, in your discussions, respond to such associated questions such as, “Is making such a claim “offensive” to those

who believe otherwise?” and “Are there not common links between religions that point to one common God?” use scripture plus a scholar

resource.

Please come up with a heat exchanger, piping system and pump designs that meets the requirement values mentioned in the “Project

Description” file.

And explain why did you choose this design for the project, also include some calculation.
