Instructions: Answer all questions in a single document. Then submit to the appropriate assignment folder. Each response to a single essay question should be about a half-page in length (about 150 words).

1. Communications within a computer network rely on numerous components for data to traverse from the initial sender of a message or file to the receiver at the distant end of the communication path. In addition to the media that the data travels across, the devices that guide the data packets through the network, and the protocols that establish end-to-end connectivity and negotiate the communication, network services play a critical role in providing the necessary addressing and name resolution services. Describe the following services and their role in network communications: ARP, DHCP, ICMP, SNMP, and DNS.
2. Modern organizations rely on the Internet for information and research necessary to stay competitive but this access can come with significant risk if they don’t take the necessary steps to safeguard their internal resources from outside attackers. In this week’s reading, various types of firewalls and firewall configurations were discussed. Describe the terms bastion host, DMZ, dual-homed firewall, screened host, and screened subnet and their roles in firewall architectures.
3. Many organizations employ a mobile workforce and/or provide the option of telework to their employees to allow them to work from home. In both situations, a secure means of accessing the corporate network remotely must be provided. Discuss the four main tunneling protocols used to provide virtual private network access between remote users and their corporate network.

Question Description

Length: 3-5 pages

Must include 2 to 3 ‘outside’ sources in your essay

Include a Works Cited page as the last page of your essay

MLA Format

Objective:

To evaluate and analyze a short film and to include researched support for your argument.When choosing a film, view a variety of genres until you find one that interests you. Maybe the film changes your view about something, tugs at an emotion, helps you relax, or could be just a waste of your time. Be sure to view the film more than once for anything you might have missed.

• Based on your choice, introduce your topic and begin with a brief overview, specifically for an audience who has not seen the film. Lead to your thesis statement.
• Evaluate the film based on the criteria that you decide (this should be in your thesis statement/evaluation). After watching the film, you may find that you did not like it or have issues with it, and that is fine as well. Here, you may find that you are analyzing aspects of the film or a major component such as the story, a specific character, or theme as you evaluate.
• As you write, consider how you will support your ideas. Your support should include moments of the film for evidence as well as your own reasoning. You must also include ‘hard’ evidence and one form of evidence must be a journal article or book. You may also include a credible website article, blog, or film review to support your argument about the film.
• You might also want to think about other points of view. Who might not support your evaluation? Maybe your goal is not to persuade an audience to view the film, but, instead, you are interested in convincing them that the dialogue works, the story’s pacing moves well, the characters are believable, or the music works as a clue of what will happen next.

• Finish with your overall evaluation/judgment. What should readers come away with after reading your review?

For the final course assignment, you will be asked to write three essays. Essay prompts will be distributed on March 7th. Essays should be uploaded in a single PDF on Canvas. You are welcome to use any material you like, but please be sure to cite anything you use, including course materials, in APA style. As usual, by submitting your essays you are agreeing to abide by the UW’s academic honesty policy.

Circulated Essay Instructions and Prompts:

All essays are to be submitted as a .docx or .pdf file via Canvas, no later than Tuesday, March 14th at 11:59pm. Absolutely no late submissions will be accepted without express communication and permission from your TA prior to the due date. Each answer should be no longer than two (2) pages double-spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font, and 1” margins. Thus, your entire submission will be approximately 6 pages long. At the beginning of each essay, you should explicitly indicate the prompt (A or B) to which you are responding.

Try to be creative in your answers. Integrate your own thinking, examples and evidence from the course materials. Style and quality of writing will count in your grade. Make sure that your grammar checkers and spell checkers are turned on. In recent versions of Word, you do this by Word>Preferences>Spelling and grammar. Incorrect spelling and grammar will prevent you from receiving full credit. Answers will be graded based upon logic, evidence, analysis, and writing (among other things). They will also be graded on the use of specific evidence to support your arguments, coherence of arguments, clarity of your answers, and logical flow of your arguments.

You must cite any sources that you use. You should include all your citations in one bibliography at the end of your 6 pages. We would like you to follow the APA style, which you can find at:

Writing advice: each of your essays should be a self-contained essay. Also, because your answers must be short, you should use only brief quotations, and you should use few if any quotations. Quotations must not overwhelm your own thinking and analysis. They serve a purpose only when the exact wording is important. Otherwise, it is far better to use your own words, but to cite the idea.

Please answer as directed, and be sure to answer all parts of each question. You must work alone, and the answer must be your own original work. Submitting your exam means that you have adhered to UW’s policy on academic misconduct, and, on your honor, that you have not violated it. Again, you are referred to the University’s policy on academic honesty (see the syllabus), to which you must adhere strictly. If you violate any of the provisions in this documented, this means that you have acted dishonorably. Plagiarism and other violations will, at the least, result in a “0” on this assignment and may be grounds for disciplinary action.

Questions:

1. Choose either A or B (and indicate which one you have chosen).

A. One of the themes that is implicit in A Civil Action is the nature of proof in establishing causation. Was sufficient evidence presented linking the exposure and the outcome? Consider this from the viewpoints of both science and law. Remembering that civil cases require proof of preponderance and evidence, and that criminal cases require guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, was the evidence sufficient for both criminal and civil convictions?

B. Most apparently noninfectious diseases entail lags between exposure and disease of up to several decades. What problems does this cause in establishing links between exposure and outcome? Be as specific as you can, using examples from the class.

2. Choose either A or B.

A. We have discussed and considered the ecology of disease, and the political ecology of disease. Using at least two examples from class and readings, apply the concepts of political ecology to understanding the consequences and causes of the construction of large dam projects, such as the Volta River (Akosambo) Dam. You may also wish to use the example from Kidder of a large dam that was constructed in Haiti.

B. Support or refute the argument that “you cannot use disease ecology to explain the relationship between leukemia and environmental exposure in Woburn, MA, because leukemia is not an infectious disease.” Is this true? Why or why not?

3. Choose either A or B.

A. In class, Dr. Mayer argued that most of the emergence of new infectious diseases can be explained by social and environmental factors. Considering the “factors of emergence”, support or refute this argument, using at least two diseases of your choice.

B. Use the factors of emergence to explain the appearance and spread of the disease in the film Contagion.
