Each week we will have a journal assignment. I’d like to give you a couple of tips. The first thing you will want to do is go to week 5 and read the final project assignment. The second thing you will want to do is choose two organizations, one for-profit and one not-for-profit. I would recommend picking organizations that will give you a lot of material to write about (hint: scandals usually involve ethical dilemmas). This is an ethics class and I often have students pick their favorite charities only to find out they cannot find enough to write about. I feel that the purpose of the journal is to force you to write a little bit each week so that you do not come into week 5 with an overwhelming project to complete. I would like you to use the organizations you have chosen in answering the prompt questions, when applicable. I understand that sometimes these questions do not apply to your organizations; but do the best that you can. I would recommend writing 1-2 pages each week. You may use the form provided; I will also accept a Word document. What I look for when I grade these assignments is a demonstration that you understand the material discussed throughout this course. I have included the Journal from week 1 and 2 so that you can continue with the same organizations needed to complete the final paper
I have also completed the personal profile questions for Week 3 Journal. The answers are in RED

Scenario:
You just landed a job as a junior Java developer and your project manager asks you to write an application to help customer service associates at a local marketplace accomplish their daily tasks. The local marketplace’s merchants sell their products to registered customers only. The project manager informs you that the application is broken into four major functional sections; Inventory, Customer, Purchases and Reports. All four sections are driven by a backbone database and perform similar tasks. He also explains that your application has to be a Java Swing Graphical User Interface application and to make things easier, he would like the application to be multiple-document interface oriented, if at all possible.
Descriptions:
Inventory: The inventory section will be used by the merchant to perform inventory tasks that will be reflected to the database. This section will have four submenus out of which, one will have two submenus.
Inventory
New

Customer: The customer section will be used by customer service associates to perform tasks on customers that are allowed to make purchases at the market place. This section will have four submenus out of which, one will have two submenus.
Customer

Purchases: The purchases section will be used by the merchant as a POS application at the marketplace. This section will have a single submenu which will allow the user start the POS application. The POS application will be the one portion of the program most frequently used. Once started, it should allow the merchant to Add/Delete a new purchase to the database. It should also allow the merchant to cancel a purchase before it is saved to the database; in other words, clear the information already entered.
Purchases
POS

Reports: The reports sections will be used to generate properly formatted reports regarding the purchases, inventory and customers’ information. The generated reports will be saved to a file to be printed or read by a text editor program like Notepad, Word, etc.
Reports

Assignment:
Write an application to accomplish the tasks defined in the sections above. Your instructor will give you further instructions regarding the database tables’ structure. If you are unsure on how to connect to a database using JDBC, read Chapter 24 (Accessing Databases with JDBC) in your textbook. Also, if you choose to create this application as a multiple-document interface application (MDI), refer to Chapter 22 section 7 (22.7) of the textbook.
In addition to your menus, you should have a Help -> About menu at the end of your menus which will display a dialog box with information regarding the program. I suggest you use the three lines at the heading of this document and add your Last Name, First Name and an Ok button to the dialog which will close it when clicked on.

• Are subsections and paragraphs unified – each focusing on one central topic?
• Does your format (headings, bullets, boldface, etc) explicitly describe the text that follows? Do headings summarise key points?
• Are there clear ‘road signs’ indicating how your arguments move towards your conclusions?
• Are there any redundant/repetitive parts? Can they be combined or deleted?

Development:
• Do you indicate awareness of the difference between facts and opinions?
• Are opinions sufficiently supported by relevant data/sources/theory?
• Are issues overdeveloped; too detailed or contain less relevant arguments?
• Could some information be presented more clearly in a table/figure/graph?

The following 10 pieces of advice are specifically designed for a 2,000 word essay: some of the things that I suggest might be less applicable for different assessment types (e.g., exams, dissertations, group projects) and I will give you exam-writing advice closer to exam period. If you are in any doubt, always ask the module co-ordinator. If you do not understand any aspect of the content below, do not worry because we have 11 weeks to address any issues that you might have – it can take lots of time and practice to master some of the concepts.
1. Answer the question. I have failed well-written and thoroughly researched essays simply because they did not answer the question set. Read the question carefully. What are the key words? It might help to repeat key words from the question throughout the essay, to ensure that you’re staying on track. If you’re unsure, speak to me after lectures and seminars, on the blackboard discussion board or come to see me during my office hours.
2. Presentation. As an examiner, a nicely presented and well-structured essay provides a positive first impression and makes our job easier. For this essay, follow the basic stylistic instructions:
o Typeface: Calibri, Arial or Times New Roman
o Size 12 (headings 14 and bold)
o Either 1.5 or double spaced
3. Structure, subheadings and word allocations. Subheadings are a necessary part of extended written pieces of work. They force you to focus on essay structure and flow and can be helpful if you need to cross-reference parts of the essay. Keep it simple, I do not want to see dozens of subheadings in a 2000 word essay. The following is a guide only (feel free to use a different structure); the important thing is that the three main pieces of advice are allocated similar attention.
o Introduction (200 words). This is a 2,000 word essay (which is not a lot, as you’ll soon realise) and I want you to get into the 3 main discussion points as soon as possible. The introduction should provide a very broad overview of the objective(s) of the essay, and should include a concise definition of key constructs or ideas.
o Advice 1: (550 words). Each of the three pieces of advice should comprise of 3-4 substantial paragraphs, with no paragraph exceeding 200 words. Each paragraph must have a very clear focus, which should be obvious from its first sentence. Paragraphs should logically flow from previous paragraphs without repeating or contradicting previous content.
o Advice 2: (550 words)
o Advice 3: (550 words)
Conclusion (150 words). I do not expect a summary of the essay – I have just read it. What I want to see here is a comment on the relevance of your essay: who might be interested in your arguments? For example, are there any practical implications? If you have been critical of the general body of literature, would you suggest some future research opportunities?
4. Be critical. This is a term that you will hear a lot over the next 12 months and we will talk about it throughout the course so do not worry of you don’t immediately grasp it. You must go beyond describing a piece of research (e.g., “Smith (1996) found that x leads to y”). The next stage – to get into the distinction grade range – is to tell me (the reader) why Smith’s findings should or should not be accepted. For example:
a. Is the fact that Smith’s research is 18 years old an issue? If so, why? Have more recent studies progressed the research community’s understanding of y?
b. Are there flaws or limitations with Smith’s methodology or theory? E.g., is it a biased sample (such as students, rich people or females)? Are the findings generalizable to the wider population (external validity)?
c. Has Smith’s study been replicated elsewhere? Or do other researcher’s agree with her position?
d. Do other researchers disagree with Smith’s theory? Does Smith neglect alternative theories (i..e, counter theories) that might also explain changes in y?
e. Academic phrase bank. The following is an excellent resource that is useful to help you write in a critical manner https://www.phrasebank.manchester.ac.uk/
5. Citing in the essay (also see #6, list of references). This is a really important issue; a failure to provide reference can lead to several issues, the most serious of which is plagiarism.
