An Annotated Bibliography is a summary or evaluation of sources. The summary typically contains a discussion on the point of the book or article, an evaluation of the source, and finally a reflection. For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography of 6 research articles from peer-reviewed or scholarly sources that relate to your topic as defined in the Unit 1 assignment. The topic is (Correlation between Extracurricular Activities and Academic Performance). You will be able to use this assignment to write your literature review which is due at the end of this Unit.
To get started on this assignment first read Chapter 2: Types of Sources, Chapter 5: Search Tools, Chapter 6: Evaluating Sources, and Chapter 8: How to Cite Sources from your Citing Sources (2020) textbook. As you read through the chapters, be sure to view the embedded video clips within the chapters. For a sample of an Annotated Bibliography refer to the Purdue Online Writing Lab (n.d.) Annotated Bibliography Samples. Be sure to scroll down to the APA example.
Next, (if you have access) watch the optional video from UWlibraries which will provide you an explanation and examples of what a scholarly article includes.
Note: there are two parts to this assignment.
Part One: Conduct a scholarly search for 6 peer-reviewed or scholarly sources based on your chosen topic from Unit 1.
Part Two: Create an Annotated Bibliography (should be in list format) of 6 sources related to your topic from Unit 1. Your Annotated Bibliography should include:
1. The full APA citation for the source including the web link.
2. In one paragraph, for each source
Discuss the point or main thesis of the source.
Evaluate the source for reliability and how it compares to other sources in your Annotated Bibliography.
Analyze the source for its relevance to your study.
Your Discussion should be a minimum of 250 words in length and not more than 450 words. Please include a word count. Following the APA standard, use references and in-text citations for the textbook and any other sources.

Alongside this, organisations may also use their website to generate revenue. As you complete this POE, you will develop a website for an NGO, NPO or small/medium business of your choice. As your progress through each task, you will use knowledge gained in the different learning units and add in several features to your website. The outcome is to construct a welldesigned website which will provide the NGO, NPO or organisation with a web presence. The simplified process is as follows: • In Task 1, you will develop the basic structure of your website (using HTML5). • In Task 2, you will improve upon your work in the previous task and add in styling to your website (using CSS3). You will also finalise the content across all your pages and make your site responsive. • In Task 3, you will add a level of interaction by way of a web-form. This could could be implemented using Google Forms or any other suitable method. Whilst this POE does not prescribe a specific NGO, NPO or organisation for which you must develop the website, you are encouraged to go out and search for a real-world NGO, NPO or organisation that could benefit from your service. Alternatively, you may use a hypothetical, but realistic example. Your lecturer must sign-off an approval for your chosen organisation and a broad statement of the envisaged website. Remember to always be respectful of any copyrights and trademarks. Since each task builds on the previous tasks, it is essential that you work consistently and invest the necessary effort throughout the process. You are required to consult the rubrics at the end of this document to ensure that you submit all work that is required. It is recommended that you double-check that you have included everything. Lastly, the end-product of this POE may also add value to your CV as work experience. Instructions __ In order to successfully complete this POE, you will be required to conduct additional research and consult online resources. Links to some of these online resources have been included in your Module Guide but you will still need to consult other sources on your own. Please ensure that you attribute all code that you re-use from other sources in accordance with the IIE’s Referencing Guide. Task 1 — HTML5_________________ ____ (Marks: 100) In this task, you are required to develop the structure of your site in HTML5. Your site must incorporate the following features: • Your webpage title(s) must be appropriate. • Your website must include appropriate logos and branding. • Your website must have a working navigation menu. • Your website must include appropriate content including headings, text, images, tables and any other multimedia. • Your website must include an appropriate footer. • Whilst you do not need to incorporate CSS in this task, your website should have some basic styling in terms of fonts and colours.

For each DQ elaborate within 260-300 words. Use in text citations accordingly. Use scholarly reference(s) along with the one(s) attached as well. Use and cite references accordingly.
DQ 1) What is your perception of researchers and the role you believe they serve in the academic community? What kinds of mental and behavioral changes do you think you will need to make in order to become a successful researcher?
DQ 2) Many learners approach a doctoral program with great enthusiasm. However, enthusiasm and passion alone do not guarantee success. Often, learners want to begin the research process immediately without the proper skills in place to be successful. Although, passion is necessary, it is important that all learners develop a plan of action to be successful. All learners must make a transition from being a student completing assignments to being a self-directed researcher. This requires students to be self-motivated, to engage in reflective scholarly practice, and to be receptive to feedback and critique from peers and faculty.
How might these three practices support your development of a doctoral identity and help you meet the academic expectations for doctoral learners? What potential challenges to do you foresee with incorporating these practices into your routine? What adjustments will you need to make to overcome these challenges? *(This response does not require research support.)

Women’s Studies emerged in the academic community in conjunction with the second-wave feminist movement whose goal was to bring women from different backgrounds together and to become more knowledgeable of their experiences. The academic discipline of Women’s Studies started during the 1970s and it observes women’s lives from around the world. It focuses on how gender interconnects with other differences such as disability, class, age, ethnicity, race, and sex-orientation. Women’s studies is an interdisciplinary field and it examines gender as a social and cultural construct, the social status and contributions of women, and the relationships between power and gender. Women Studies disciplines consist of history, politics, literature, theory, psychology, and sociology. Literature is one of the most important disciplines in Women’s Studies. We rediscovering of old texts and while trying to understand the symbolism in the writings so that the women’s point of view can not be ignored or lost by the males point of view and contesting sexism in mainstream literature. Old literature during the first wave of feminism that I really admired while taking me World Lit Class was “A Room of Ones Own”, by Virginia Woolf. She spoke of how the only way for a woman to thrive in society during that time was to have her own home and maintain her own finances. The only reason she was able to maintain her own way of life was because her Aunt had passed and left her money. However other women had to rely on the finances of men.
Project 4: System Development or Application Assurance
Start Here
It is critical that cybersecurity professionals be able to use all applicable systems, tools, and concepts to minimize risks to an organization’s cyberspace and prevent cybersecurity incidents. In this project, you will demonstrate your understanding of how to apply security principles, methods, and tools within the software development life cycle. You will also apply your knowledge of the cybersecurity implications related to procurement and supply chain risk management.
This is the fourth and final project for this course. There are 13 steps in this project. Begin below to review your project scenario.
Transcript
Competencies
Your work will be evaluated using the competencies listed below.
• 1.1: Organize document or presentation clearly in a manner that promotes understanding and meets the requirements of the assignment.
• 1.5: Use sentence structure appropriate to the task, message and audience.
• 2.4: Consider and analyze information in context to the issue or problem.
• 9.4: Software Security Assurance: Demonstrate secure principles, methods, and tools used in the software development life cycle.
• 9.5: Software Security Assurance: Describe the cybersecurity implications related to procurement and supply chain risk management.
Step 1: Assess Software Vulnerabilities
Project 2 outlined the steps involved to produce a final vulnerability and threat assessment, and Project 3 covered risk analysis and mitigation. Those assessments were across the entire enterprise and included numerous elements outside the realm of systems and technology. However, they did uncover opportunities for improvement in the application software processes.
For this step, return to the vulnerability and threat assessment from Project 2 and focus on all areas of application software that were itemized. Give additional thought to uncover software that perhaps did not make the list or were assumed to be secure and simply overlooked.
The assignment is to create a more comprehensive list of application software that could place the enterprise at risk of a breach, loss of data, loss of production, and/or loss of brand confidence.
The assessment should include the application of secure principles, development models such as the maturity model or integrated product and process development (IPPD), software development methods, libraries and toolsets used in the software development life cycle or systems development life cycle.
Use the Software Vulnerability Assessment Template to submit your results for feedback.

In the next step, you will review your organization’s software procurement policy.
Step 2: Review Software Procurement Policy
Upon completion of the software specific vulnerability assessment, conduct a review of the organization’s software procurement policies for software development methods.
Note that there is no submitted assignment for this step. Your review will be used in the submission for the following steps.
When the review is complete, move to the next step, where you will create a table or spreadsheet that lists recommended policies for software procurement that address certain questions or concerns.
Step 3: Create a Software Procurement Policy List
You’ve reviewed the organization’s policies for software development methods. Now it’s time to create a policy list for software procurement. The following are some sample questions to be included in a software procurement policy:
• Does the vendor provide any cybersecurity certifications with the product?
• Does the vendor provide access to the source code for the product? Are there other security issues in source code to be addressed?
• What is the guaranteed frequency of security updates to be provided for the product?
• What is the implementation process for software updates/upgrades?
What are additional questions or concerns that should be included in the procurement process? Create a table or spreadsheet that lists recommended policies to properly address these questions or concerns.
Use the Procurement Policy Template to list the cybersecurity implications related to procurement and supply chain risk management and submit your results for feedback.

In the next step, you will generate assurances or controls to address each of the policy issues identified here.
Now that the procurement policies have been identified in the previous step, what assurances or controls should be established as policy that would evaluate the security implications during the software acceptance process? The objective is to provide a one-page overview of security testing that would be included in the acceptance of a vendor’s application.
The next step in this project will document the actual testing and validation. This step is simply to verify the congruence between the procurement process and acceptance process. In other words, do the procurement policies establish the correct cyber security framework for software purchase and do the acceptance policies match?
In considering the security implications of the in the software acceptance phase of the development cycle, use the Software Acceptance Policy Template to document recommended tests and assurances for the procurement policies identified in the previous steps.
Submit your results below for feedback.

In the next step, you will research software testing and validation.
Step 5: Research Software Testing and Validation Procedures
Based on the software acceptance policies created in the previous step, consider what testing and validation procedures could be used to assure compliance.
Note that there is no submitted assignment for this step. You will submit the final list of recommended testing and validation procedures in the next step.
Step 6: Document Software Testing and Validation Procedures
You’ve completed the research, and it is now time to create testing and validation procedures that follow a specific process to assure compliance. The key to the success of this step is to document exact procedures to be followed by a testing team prior to installation.
At a minimum, the procedures should address the following questions:
• What are potential vulnerabilities inherent in the application platform?
• How well does the vendor document preventive measures built into the application?
• Are there alternative solutions provided by the vendor or in the application in case of a breach?
• What additional safeguards can be added to ensure the security of the software environment?
The testing and validation procedures should address each of these concerns.
The executive team will want to see specific steps for the testing team to follow as the team members complete the tests and assurances you recommended in the previous step.
Document your specific testing and validation recommendations from a cybersecurity policy standpoint in the Test Script Procedures Template and submit for feedback.

In the next step, you will consider procedures for upgrading software.
Step 7: Review Software Upgrade Procedures
In the last step, you documented testing and validation requirements. In this step, it’s important to review software upgrades. Installation of a software upgrade has similar, yet unique requirements from the previous steps. In most enterprise environments, software updates and upgrades follow a specific change management routine. However, complete reliance on this procedure can lead to unintended oversight of cybersecurity issues. The change management process is generally focused on detecting errors and the auditing and logging of changes in the operational environment after the upgrade has been performed.
From the cyber perspective, this is not enough. As demonstrated in previous steps, significant effort is required to ensure a secure environment, not just an operational one. The question to be answered is “when” should the upgrade be performed during an application or system change. Should it be performed multiple times during the update?
Think through this issue thoroughly and make notes on your thought process. It is important that the risk analysis associated with an application or system change is conducted at the optimal time.
Note that there is no submitted assignment for this step. However, the research and corresponding notes related to this step will be applicable to the final report for Maria and the other executives. When this is complete, move to the next step, where supply chain risks will be considered.
Step 8: Review Supply Chain Risks
Following the previous steps relative to the supply chain and previous projects, it is time to thoroughly review risk within the supply chain.
Like many companies, your organization is dependent on a supply chain, so the software development process must include a supply chain risk management (SCRM) plan to minimize the impact of supply chain-related risks on business operations and the security of the infrastructures and data.
Note that there is no submitted assignment for this step. The identified supply chain risks will be reported in the next step.
Step 9: Document Supply Chain Risks
After review, it’s time to document supply chain risks. This portion of the overall report requires a two- to three-page narrative that addresses the following supply chain concerns:
1. Describe cybersecurity implications related to the procurement process.
2. Provide recommendations that would address these concerns.
3. Include appropriate supply chain risk management practices.
Where appropriate, cite references to support the assertions in the recommendations and conclusion.
Submit your report on supply chain concerns here for feedback.

Then, move to the next step, in which you will consider how the procedures of acquisition, procurement, and outsourcing line up in the organization.
Step 10: Consider Alignment Issues
Based on the review and recommendations on the supply chain described in the previous step, consider how well the policies and procedures regarding the acquisition, procurement, and outsourcing of software in your organization are aligned.
Outline a strategic approach to getting all the functions in alignment. There is no submission for this step. The alignment recommendations will be submitted in the next step.
Step 11: Develop an Acquisition Alignment Report
Keeping the alignment issues in mind from the previous step, prepare a one-page plan to align acquisition, procurement, and outsourcing of software applications for the enterprise. This should be a strategic approach to getting all the functions in alignment. Start with a request for information, proceed through acquisition, testing, and implementation, and finish with ongoing maintenance of the application.
All the work has been done in the previous steps. This step is designed to “bring it all together” in one easy-to-understand approach. The approach will be used in the final step to complete the supply chain analysis with a mitigation plan as it applies to software acquisition and maintenance.
Submit your one-page plan to align acquisition, procurement, and outsourcing efforts with your organization’s information security goals here for feedback.

In the next step, you will consolidate all your work thus far.
Step 12: Consolidate Your Work
The acquisition plan alignment is complete. For this exercise, collate all the material presented in the previous steps into a cohesive presentation that describes the entire software risk analysis processes and articulates specific supply chain cybersecurity threats and the technologies and policies that can be used to mitigate them.
You will use your consolidated results in your final project submission in the next step.
Project 4: System Development or Application Assurance
Step 13: Write the Risk Analysis/Supply Chain Threats/Mitigation Report
Management is always interested in solutions, and Maria Sosa and the other executives at your company are no exception. In the case of cybersecurity, there are no absolute solutions to an ever-changing environment. However, there are steps to mitigation that might eliminate or minimize the results of certain vulnerabilities. This final step is to describe the mitigation strategies recommended as a result of all previous steps in the project.
The final report for the executive meeting should be five to seven pages, only one to two of which will have to be written in this step. The remainder is from all the previous steps in the project.
Use the Supply Chain Risk Mitigation Final Report Template to submit your specific testing and validation procedures.
