In a 10 –12 page paper, identify and analyze the benefits and challenges that are associated with biometric evidence in the criminal justice system. Include at least 3 techniques in your paper, and use at least 2 case studies to support your position. Consider the following questions when drafting your paper:

• How do courts determine if evidence is reliable and valid before allowing it into testimony?
• What is the role of the Frye standard or Daubert standard in determining whether or not the courts will accept biometric evidence?
• What rules does your state use in this regard?
• How reliable is fingerprint evidence? Consider examples of its use in criminal courts.
• How do other biometrics compare to the reliability and validity of fingerprint evidence?
• What are some of the challenges associated with lower forms of biometrics, such as facial recognition, and acceptance as evidence in court?
• What is the role of the expert witness related to biometric evidence in court?

This assignment will also be assessed using additional criteria provided here.

Please submit your assignment.

For this week, you will need to research and identify a project of your choosing (examples – house painting, renovation of a kitchen, new business IT system, etc.) that will be the central example in the completion of this and future assignments throughout this course. The first step in your process once a project has been selected will be the development of a scope statement. The scope statement describes the project and outlines project goals that need to be met in order to be successful.

 

Once a project has been identified you will be required to build scope statement that will include the objective of the project, goals, a clear description of the project and any related tasks that need to be accomplished. Ensure the project selected is easily accessible to you; if you have the opportunity, converse with a real-world project manager regarding your project, ideas, and actions.

In a paper, explain and assess what project scope planning is as a process and how you plan to implement the process for your chosen project. Include in your explanation the scope statement, consideration of Life-Cycle Phases and participant roles. Indicate why you believe plans fail and justify the importance of a project charter in the project scope planning process.

Support your paper with a minimum of three (3) external resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 6-7 pages not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards

Unit III Case Study

Case studies are an important learning strategy in business classes as they provide an opportunity for you to analyze real-life events that have occurred in business and industry. You will examine situations that managers have dealt with in a variety of situations, applying theoretical concepts from the textbook and researching supplemental information that will aid you in responding to the questions. Typically, this will chart the way for a managerial response involving changing the business or corporate strategy.

Choose ONE of the case options below. Evaluate the case, and respond to each question that follows the case using both theory and practical managerial thinking.

Your APA formatted Case Study should be a minimum of 500 words (not including the title and references pages). You are required to use a minimum of three peer-reviewed, academic sources that are no more than five years old (one of which may be your textbook). All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

We recommend you start by drafting an outline of you potential ideas. Thereafter, you can explain in detail your proposal to the CEO. The outline should not be a reiteration of motivation theory, but should provide succinct points that cover the key topics of motivation and provides a road map that management can implement to improve motivation within the organization.

HINT: Review Chapter 8, page 226. Also, you might want to think about a specific job or unit you worked previously.

Instructions:
Your answer to this assignment must be four to six pages, double spaced, and 12 point font (separate title page and reference page are not included in the page length). The assignment requires that you use your textbook and at least two other references and readings which pertain to the topic in question. CSU requires that students use APA style for papers and projects. Therefore, the APA rules for formatting, quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed.

Create and submit for evaluation on or before February 3rd, a paper version of a double-spaced single-sided report on the topic enunciated below.  Employ 12pt text comprising at least five pages, including abstract, main theme and conclusions.  In addition, create an elegant flamboyant sixth page; the cover-page.  Append a seventh page that presents a list citing the sources that were used to develop the report.

 

 

 

The annihilation of time and space triggered by the diffusion of advanced technologies throughout the world has created a global economy.  Employees are often located at all points on the compass and engineering students are now in a position to prospect for employment worldwide upon graduation.  How does this freedom affect the manufacturing sector?

 

 

 

The topic for this homework is to analyze the dramatically different vacation policy of nations and consider the impact of this immense diversity upon the workforce.  Does this diversity enhance manufacturing productivity?  Does this societal diversity affect the quality of life for employees?  How do long hours in the office affect the health of workers?  Are employees entitled to a vacation each year?  How long should that be?  Should it be enforced by federal regulations?  If Australians enjoy six weeks of vacation each year, should US companies offer this period of recuperation too?  What’s the work-life balance?  After all, human beings are not electro-mechanical robots!
