Instructors must remind students to retain all handouts and assignment documents issued in every unit, as well as student-prepared documentation and graded deliverables. Some or all these documents will be used repeatedly across different units. Unit 1. Lab 1. Preparing a Virtual Workstation Image Windows 7 Virtual Machine “Keyless” Installation and Re-arm Process Purpose: This section describes the reason for and the procedure to use the “keyless” installation for Windows 7 Professional applicable to our lab environment for IT109/NT1230, and to use the “Re-arm” procedure to extend the trial period to meet our curriculum needs. Background: In installing Windows 7 Professional into a virtual machine in the VMware Player for the labs in our lab environment, if the Product Key for Windows 7 Professional is applied and activated during or at the end of the installation, the installed virtual machine will be authorized to launch only from the physical computer from which it was installed, as Microsoft registers the product key to associate with the hardware identity of the physical computer in their antipiracy database during the activation process. Subsequently...

...Students began the unit by defining and labeling cells. In Activity 1, students wrote a cell analogy describing the working parts of a cell. Scaffolding off of their prior knowledge of the cell and its cell parts, the students first analyzed an exemplar of a cell as a city and identified the parts from the analogy. In part two, the students had to write their own, using anything but a city. This activity is harder than just defining the parts of the cell because the students had to know the definition in order to make it fit in their analogy. I gave a few ideas of a school or a house, but many of the students would come up with their own. The next day, before we handed them in, I asked if anyone would like to share their analogy and then we would try and figure...

...Instructor Guide Lab 1: Computer Model Understanding Activity (paper and pencil) Learning Objectives and Outcomes The student is expected to demonstrate the ability to work with the von Neumann model of a computer. To demonstrate this ability, the student will: 1. Draw a diagram of a computer from the von Neumann perspective, including definitions of all parts of the model. 2. Provide examples of the Input, Output, and Memory sections of the model. 3. Provide a comparison table showing the similarities and differences between desktop and notebook computers. Required Setup and Tools In this laboratory, students will need only paper and pencil to do the required work. However, the use of a drawing program, such as Visio or the Drawing toolbar in Microsoft Word, is suggested for drawing the von Neumann computer model. Lab Solutions The student should provide solutions similar to what is shown here. Task 1: Here is an example of the von Neumann model of the computer. 1 Memory Control Unit Arithmetic Logic Unit Output Input Accumulator Central Processing Unit Here are the functions of each component in the von Neumann model of the computer. Component Control Unit Arithmetic Logic Unit Accumulator Function Control operations between all components of the computer. Perform calculations using the accumulator. Store the result of the last calculation. Accumulators are registers that store temporary numbers and can be hard-wired to the logic unit. They were...

...Chapter 6 Elements Of Research Design Instructional Goals 1. To clarify the various components of research design as indicated in Figure 5.1 of the book; 2. To highlight obvious combinations in research design choices; for example, a lab or field experiment is invariably conducted to establish cause and effect relationships; a lab experiment is always done in a contrived setting with maximal researcher interference and in a longitudinal fashion.; 3. To stress the importance of making optimal research design choices aimed at balancing scientific rigor and research costs (and feasibility). Discussion Questions 1. What are the basic research design issues? Describe them in some detail. Basic research design issues are primarily a function of the purpose of the study (whether it is exploratory, descriptive, or hypothesis-testing), and relate to such aspects as the type of study to be done (causal or correlational), the setting in which it will be done (natural or contrived), how much of researcher control will have to be exercised (very little in the case of field studies, to very much in the case of experimental designs), how many times data will have to be collected (one shot versus longitudinal), and the unit of analysis – i.e. the level at which data will be aggregated. For most correlational studies, the field setting with minimal researcher influence will be the choice. Most field studies are generally cross-sectional, though some could be longitudinal. Longitudinal...

For this lab it is recommended that you review the Demo Lab presentations in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Learning Space. Click the PRACTICE link > DEMO LAB > then click the hyperlink to launch the demonstration. Part # 1 Install a Core Linux Operating System on a Server Learning Objectives and Outcomes Upon completing this lab, students should know more about the following tasks: * Install a base Linux operating system using a Fedora core Linux server for production use on the VM server farm * Create secured partitions within the core Linux server for desired security hardening, performance, and application support * Enable a network time server during installation to maintain a synchronized time setting throughout the system * Set a hostname that is descriptive of the role of the server to maintain standard and concise naming conventions during installation * Create a non-privileged user account for system administration access as a secure alternative to logging in as root user Overview In this lab the students will see how to install and partition a Fedora Core Linux Server. The installation process, applying passwords, creating partitions, and system administrator access controls will be part of the operating system configuration requirements. The demonstration will show how to use the terminal or terminal emulator for...

...interventions that can assist with DM transition are behavioral self-control (BSCT) and relaxation training. BSCT teaches DM to monitor his drinking, set a limit on how much and when he will drink, teach strategies to control alcohol intake, and develop coping skills (Stitzer & Higgins, 2000). Stress can trigger DM to relapse or to regress on his success so relaxation is very important. Relaxation therapy uses several different techniques to accomplish stress reduction. Breathing exercises to calm the mind, meditation helps with physical and emotional stress, and muscle relaxation to help release the tension (alcoholrehab.com,...

...and tutor support. Why (a) do you suppose Union Planters purchases investments, rather than simply making loans? Why does it purchase investments that vary in nature both in terms of their maturities and in type (debt versus stock)? 1. They may have excess funds that they havent loaned out yet and instead of having the money just sit there the bank manager may decide that it could earn more revenue by choosing to invest. 2. Depending on the situation the bank manager may also feel that they can make more money by investing the excess funds rather than lending the money out. For example right now interest rates are at an all-time low and they may feel like the return on the interest is not enough compared to investing. 3. The bank manager may feel that these investments will mature and be worth more in the future so they may choose to hold long term to create more revenue. (b) How must Union Planters account for its investments in each of the two categories? 1. Trading securities Balance sheet at fair market value a. Gain/Loss reported as part of income 2. Available-for-Sale Balance sheet at fair market value a. Gain/Loss Comprehensive income/ separate from Stockholders equity until realized 3. Held to-Maturity reported at amortized cost Planters had none (c) In what ways does classifying into investments two different categories assist investors in evaluating the profitability of a company like Union Planters? The categories will be different because it assumes there will be...
