This week is about logic in computer programing.  Ultimately, everything that a computer does is based on Boolean Logic —  a system of binary mathematics based on the values true and false — as first defined by George Boole in his book An Investigation of the Laws of Thought on Which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities, published in 1854.  Each bit can be thought of as a true or false value manipulated by computer systems according to the laws described by Boole.

On a larger scale, we deal with Boolean logic in true or false conditions that determine which parts of an algorithm are executed.  In most computer programming languages, including Python, if statements and if … else … statements  are used for this when the algorithm divides into different branches.

This week you will read about if statements and variations of if statements in Python; Boolean logic; and the nature of algorithms, which lie at the heart of all computing and computer programming.

Remember, this is an introductory Computer Science course, not just a course in Python and Java programming.  Some of the material in the section that you will read about algorithms is fundamentally important in Computer Science (and in modern mathematics as,  well).

Your tasks are to :

1- Complete Exercise 10 at the end of the chapter as a programming assignment.  This involves the use of the hypotenuse function to determine a point’s distance from the origin in a Cartesian coordinate system, and branching to determine which quadrant a point is in.   

Note: If a point is on the x-axis or the y-axis, which coordinate is it in?  The specifications answer this question. Read the conditions in the problem carefully and make sure the logic in your software matches what it says.

2-  Writing assignments the nature of algorithm. read Lesson 3.2 about the nature of algorithms in chapter 3 from An Introduction to Computer Science with Java, Python and C++ and answer the five checkpoint questions at the end of the section.  Lessons 3.1 and  3.3 and Lab 3 A are not required, but they will help you to better understand Boolean logic, branching, and if statements in Python,  

Project Quality Management (100 points)

Suburban Homes Construction Project Quality Management Plan (QMP) 

Prepare a quality management plan using the elements described in the PMBOK 6e (Section 8.1.3.1) for the Suburban Homes Construction Project.

Content (90 points) Over the course the semester you’ve become familiar with the project and as part of the overall project management plan, a quality management plan is needed to communicate how quality will be met to the satisfaction of each stakeholder involved in a typical residential construction project.

You should perform research on quality standards associated with residential construction to determine applicable standards.  At least four (4) quality objectives associated with the project should be defined.

As part of the section on quality tools, include a separate appendix with at least three (3) quality tools that will be used as a part of the project.  These can be drawn from: 1) flow charts, 2) check sheets, 3) Pareto diagrams, 4) histograms, 5) control charts, 6) scatter diagrams, 7) affinity diagrams, 8) process decision programs charts, 9) interrelationship digraphs, 10) tree diagrams, 11) prioritization matrices, 12) activity network diagrams, 13) matrix diagrams, 14) inspections, and 15) statistical sampling.

Last, about 1/3 of the plan should be devoted to major procedures relevant for the project for dealing with non-conformance, corrective actions procedures, and continuous improvement procedures.

If information needed to complete a QMP is not explicitly stated in the scenario description or other project artifacts you’ve created or collected for this scenario in the past units, then develop (make-up) the information you need to complete the plan.  Use tables and illustrations as needed to convey information.

The plan (excluding the separate appendix) should be approximately 4 to 5 pages. 

Answer the 6 questions who, when, where, why (all together in 1-2 sentences) then HOW and WHAT in 2-3 sentences EACH -we need detail), then write an objective summary using the sample in the resource manual as a template

My final research question : What have researchers learned about how best to secure social network data from privacy threats?

1 Objective summary for the article below

2.Literature Review 

Please fill out this form (also available in this week’s folder) to compare and contrast your three research articles (do not include your news article). 

Compare and contrast articles – Form to fill out

  Please write part 2 of your literature review. You will be essentially cutting and pasting your three objective summaries under Level II headings (see p 13 in your manuals)

Put them in an order that makes sense given how you compared and contrasted them.

Use your transition compare and contrast words (similiar to…etc) !!! (this is also available in this week’s folder)

compare and contrast words.

Submit BOTH assignments here.
