References should be from 2007-2018 in a.b.c order by last names, start of page number and end of page numbers. For each reference there should be three paragraphs. Meaning for the first reference you should have three paragraphs. Then another three for the next. I have uploaded a title page and sample paper. If you follow the sample paper it should be pretty easy.

Writing/Research Requirement:

One writing/research assignment (research paper) will be required for this course. The research paper guidelines are as follows (we will discuss this at greater length in class):

• 9-12 pages (this DOES NOT include the title page and reference pages)
• 9-12 pages MEANS full pages, in fact it is better to begin the next page with an additional line. I will not accept 9, 9 ¾ , etc.
• 10-12 peer-reviewed journal articles must be used for your research paper
• You may only use peer-reviewed journal articles as sources.
• American Sociological Association guidelines ONLY. Any paper turned in with other formatting will be subjected to a failing grade.
• Failure to turn in this writing assignment will result in an ‘F’ for this course.

****Assignment****

Make a list of pros and cons for going global…

In this course, you are introduced to general Windows Server concepts like active directory, group policy, security, networking and IIS, access control, and much more. Now that you understand the basic concepts, we will delve a little deeper and look in more detail, by examining the offerings of different versions.

This Course Project will be a research report. The project will cover five of the differences between Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012 that interest you the most. Be sure to provide a clear and thorough description for each of the five areas that you choose in the report.

Some example topics to be researched include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Hyper-V
• Active directory (including DS and RMS)
• IPAM (IP address management)
• ReFS (operating system)
• SMB (server message block) 3.0 file storage
• Network services (IIS) and support for cloud-based strategies and web applications
• Dynamic access control

Milestone 2: Project Report (100 points)

This will be the culmination of the work you have done. Your submission is a project report.

The project report must be a Microsoft Word document that includes the following three sections.

• It should have a section with the finalized outline agreed upon with your instructor.
• It should have a section that is the description of differences. In this section, you should describe five areas of your choosing (see list of examples above for reference), as well as the impact that the changes have made. Use your understanding of what you have learned in this course from lectures, the textbook, labs, and research. The report needs to be in your own words, citing any and all sources used. Do not fill the pages with charts and tables from websites. One or two small ones are OK, but the focus here is for you to know how to discuss the differences if asked; for example, in an interview. Use the proper APA format for citations as described in the plagiarism and undergraduate citations section in the Syllabus. It needs to be four to five pages long, double spaced, one inch margins, using a 12-point font.

It should include a summary section where you will reflect upon your professional opinion of the differences as well as any opinions and experiences you found in your research; for example, from other professionals’ reviews of the newer version.

Research Experience #3

Due at the end of Week 6 (not eligible for late policy unless an approved documented exception).

Finding information is not the final step to working with quality information. It is not enough to simply put a quote into a paper and expect it to speak for you.

Research Experience #3 : Using the source below, identify information that is potentially important to your essay draft, and then create a supporting paragraph that uses a quote from the resource and utilizes the sandwich method of quotation integration.
