Title: Finding a Middle Ground: A Rogerian Argument for Dress Codes in Schools “The Importance of Formatting in Academic Writing: A Guide for Students”
The 2 attachments I sent are the 2 sides to debate
ASSIGNMENT: As you learned in this unit, a Rogerian argument is one that presents two sides of a debate and argues for a solution that will satisfy both sides. Given the two articles linked below that present opposing sides of an issue (mandatory uniforms in schools vs. some kind of ‘dress code’), construct your own 2-3 page Rogerian argument essay in which you attempt to arrive at a concrete, workable solution or “middle ground.”
The essay should contain the following components:
❒ 1. An introduction that accurately presents both sources (i.e., author, title, year of publication, and their relative position in the debate), as well as your middle ground thesis statement.
❒ 2. A body paragraph that summarizes the pro-uniform rationales. (Both articles can be used, but focus on Anderson).
❒ 3. A body paragraph that summarizes the anti-uniform/pro-dress code rationales. (Both articles can be used, but focus on Deane).
❒ 4. A body paragraph that critically compares and contrasts both sides of the debate.
❒ 5. A conclusion that further develops your proposed middle-ground solution and demonstrates how it satisfies both sides of the debate.
A. Assignment Guidelines
DIRECTIONS: Refer to the list below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines. Refer to the Sample Touchstone for additional guidance on structure, formatting, and citation.

❒ Have you briefly and accurately introduced the author, title, and publication context (year, journal, etc.) of Article 2?
❒ Have you ended the introduction with a thesis statement/claim that presents a clear, workable solution that could be viewed as a “middle ground” between the two sides?
2. Body Paragraphs
❒ Have you included a summary of the pro-uniform stances in the first body paragraph (including accurate page-numbered citations)?
❒ Have you included a summary of the anti-uniform stances in the second body paragraph (including accurate page-numbered citations)?
❒ Have you included at least three direct quotations, supplementing them with your own explanation of their relevance?
❒ Have you adequately compared and contrasted both sides of the debate (with cited examples from the articles) in the third body paragraph?

Cyber Security Program Policies
Organizations commit to cybersecurity by way of a policy – this is how the organization describes the “law” of the organization. Policies generally do not include “how” something should be implemented, just the overall commitment (the Acceptable Use is an exception to this overall rule). In later assignments, we will be describing internal standards, which would indeed describe the details of “how.”
[AC-7] Unsuccessful Login Attempts: must enforce a limited of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts, and automatically locks the user account for a period of time until unlocked via established authentication methods, detailed in the internal standard.
or
[AC-11] Device Lock: must prevent further access to the system by initiating a device lock after a period of inactivity and retain the device lock until the user reestablishes access using established identification and authentication procedures, detailed in the internal standard.
Note that the timings and number of times unsuccessful login attempts are not listed in a policy – these would be detailed in the internal standard.
Completion Instructions:
Section 7 of the Cyber Security Program document will contain 4 policies.
7) Policies – complete this section by providing 4 complete policies, using the template you created for the DB in this module.
Policies
Acceptable Use Policy (use what you did for the DB – and put it in the template format – you will have to add to it as the DB did not include all sections of the template).
Asset Management Policy – This is mostly provided for you by way of an example. You should complete the blank sections.
Access Control Policy – leverage NIST 800-53r5, the Access Control family, for inspiration. There should be at least 8 policy clauses included (2 examples are provided above as examples, you can use them)
Risk Management Policy – leverage NIST 800-53r5, the Risk Assessment family, for inspiration. There should be at least 5 policy clauses included
Additional Policies
NAME at least 8 additional policies that should be created to support the organization.
Note – this is just the NAME of the policy – you do not have to create these policies.
You can list policies based on the aligned standard, such as from NIST. You may choose policies such as “Audit and Accountability” – or If you want to be more direct, policies like “Password Policy” is fine as well, or a combination of both. Ensure that your polices cover most, if not all of the landscape of the common security controls areas.
Completion
Each week, more content will be added to it, you will always turn in the entire document each time. There are additional notes and comments on the template, remove them as you move through the completion of the template. For example, for the sections due this week, all of the comments, notes, and suggested text should be removed for those sections. -
APA Research Paper: Final Paper
Objectives
The purpose of the APA Research Paper: Final Paper activity is to:
Produce a paper that is written in APA 7th edition style formatting, including in-text citations, and references (CO 5)
Create a clear, well-developed thesis statement pertaining to an appropriate topic (CO 1, CO 2, CO 3)
Present the topic in an organized, concise, interesting manner, which incorporates the student’s own original thought (CO 1, CO 2, CO 3)
Incorporate evidence from reliable sources that support the discussion/thoughts of the paper in the form of direct quotations, summaries, and paraphrases (CO 6)
Method of Evaluation
Students are required to complete a APA Research Paper: Final Paper which is worth 25% of their overall grade.
Guidelines
Students must complete the following papers: (i) a Personal Essay, (ii) a Business Writing Assignment and (iii) an APA Research Paper. Each of these papers must be submitted through Canvas in order for the paper to be uploaded to Turnitin®.
The APA Research Paper must follow the guidelines set forth by the American Psychological Association. The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University houses writing resources and instructional (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/Links to an external site.) that will assist with APA writing. The research paper should focus on a current trend, event or issues occurring in your field of study.
The APA research paper will be graded pursuant to the guidelines set forth in Exhibit B. Students are expected to understand these guidelines and ensure that their assignments incorporate them.
The research paper involves three major activities:
Choosing a Topic: Choose a topic for your research paper that is focused and about which you can ask a specific research question. Avoid encyclopedia-style reports on a general topic; such broad topics can become overwhelming and do not allow for purposeful research. For example, choosing for your topic a condition such as “diabetes” or “autism,” a setting such as “airports,” or an issue such as “ethics” will likely make for a shallow paper. Instead, ask a focused question about your topic. Then generate your thesis in answer to this question.
Outlining for APA Research Paper: You must submit a detailed outline of your research paper. Outlines may be in one of several formats, as directed by your course instructor, but all outlines must include the following: (i) a separate outline point for each paragraph, (ii) a point for your introduction that includes your thesis statement, (iii) at least three (3) body paragraph points, each with at least two subpoints illustrating the paragraph’s topic, and (iv) a point for a concluding paragraph. Your outline should be single spaced and no shorter than a full page.
Writing the APA Research Paper: The paper should be between five and seven pages in length (not including cover page, abstract, references, exhibits, etc.) and incorporate a minimum of seven (7) credible references. The paper must be written and presented in APA style (including, margins, citations, headings, etc.). You will be responsible for submitting a rough draft, the final paper and presenting your findings to the class.
The rubric below will be utilized to grade the paper. -
