Disclosive Computer Ethics
After reading Philip Brey’s article “Disclosive Computer Ethics” in the Learning Materials, do the following:

Explain how Brey defines disclosive computer ethics and value-sensitive design.

Discuss why Brey thinks the relationship between disclosive computer ethics and value-sensitive design is important.

Provide one real-life example of some emerging or new technology you think either does have or does not have a value-sensitive design. Your real-life example should be from a reliable article in a popular technology publication or an article in the UMGC library.

If you think your example does not have a value-sensitive design, explore and suggest a change that could make it have a better value-sensitive design.

If you think your example does have a value-sensitive design, explain what specific evidence you see that suggests it does.

Use two quotes from any of your resources to support or explain your points. Make sure to provide in-text citations for both quotes in MLA format.

Explain whether it generally seems to take the approach of social constructivism or technological determinism? Or is there a combination of both approaches? How do you know this? What specifics from the article give you hints about its approach?

Choose one article between 2002 – 2020 that is of particular interest to you, read it, and do the following:

Put a full citation in MLA style for the article at the top of your post.

Provide a brief summary of the article in your own words. Do not use the article’s abstract for this. Read the article and state briefly what it is about is in at least 3-4 sentences.

Explain whether it generally seems to take the approach of social constructivism or technological determinism? Or is there a combination of both approaches? How do you know this? What specifics from the article give you hints about its approach?

Use at least three quotes from the article in your discussion to support your points.

Describe how concepts such as RISC, pipelining, cache memory, and virtual memory have evolved over the past 25 years to improve system performance.

Paper

The paper will deal with the evolution of computer technology.

Course Goal/Objective

Describe how concepts such as RISC, pipelining, cache memory, and virtual memory have evolved over the past 25 years to improve system performance.

Instructions

In this short research paper, you will investigate the evolution of and current trends in improving system performance with concepts such as RISC, pipelining, cache memory, and virtual memory.

In this paper you must, as part of your conclusion, explicitly state the concept or approach that seems most important to you and explain your selection.

A minimum of two references is required for this paper. At least one article should be from a peer-reviewed journal.

If you use Web sites other than the article databases provided by the UMGC Library in your research, be sure to evaluate the content you find there for authority, accuracy, coverage, and currency.

Does the critical path actually ensure project success?

Each student will prepare a research paper discussing, in depth, a subject related to one of the topics covered in the course.

The paper should be from 2,000 to 3,000 words in length (8-12 pages) and contain a separate title or cover page and separate pages for the list of reference sources.

The paper is expected to be authoritative, and based on at least 10 high-quality sources (i.e., no Wikipedia, newspaper, or web page citations allowed).

Use the UMGC library to find relevant journal or respected trade publication articles for your report.

The majority of reference sources should be from recent publications no older than five years.

Follow the APA format for the paper and for all citations, figures, tables, and the list of references. You may include in your paper any of the articles assigned as readings, as well as any other reference sources encountered during the course.

The style and content appropriate for an academic literature review can be seen in most scholarly journals found in peer-reviewed literature.

Most articles will contain a section called, Literature Review. Look over a few to get a feel for the general style of writing expected.

The report should exhibit graduate-level writing, in terms of grammar, punctuation, format, quality of analysis, coherence, insight, logical flow, and reasoning.

The paper is NOT an essay, how to, or opinion piece, it is to be a research report based fully on facts and data derived from appropriate sources in the literature.

Provide a reference citation for EVERY statement of fact you include in your paper.

Do NOT string together direct quotes from reference sources to create a narrative in the report. More than three quotes within the paper will be too many.

Write in your own words and include quote marks for ALL material copied from other sources.

Remember, a literature review tells what other experts and researchers have discovered, NOT what you know or think. Save your own opinions about what all the facts mean for the conclusion of the review.

1. Title page and Abstract of the paper (Style according to the rules of the APA format.)

2. Final paper (Containing 8-12 pages, double spaced, 12 point font, one inch margins on all sides)

3. References – List of every reference source cited in the paper (and only cited sources), entered in correct APA format. At least 10 sources should be listed and cited within the report.
