Designing a Study The course text and reading materials refers to several research methods -- "correlational designs", "experimental designs", “naturalistic observations”  “surveys” and “case studies” -- for the study of psychological issues.  Imagine you are a psychology researcher/social scientist and want to examine how the use of technology (i.e., use of cell phones, texting, Facebook, etc) has affected social interactions and behavior between high school students.  What might be one or more hypotheses you want to test?Pick a research method you might consider using for this study and explain why you chose that method rather than others. Discuss what challenges, problems, and limitations you might encounter when doing a research study on this area.   Reviewing a Study Find an article published in a scientific journal within the last 6 years about any area of psychology - social psychology, personality, motivation, emotion, consciousness, facial recognition, mental disorders, psychological treatment, etc.  Use the ESC Library or another college library to search for psychology articles. Do not use Wikipedia, About.com, Google, Google Scholar, etc. as your source. Read the article and in your own words, describe the study and its purpose in a paragraph or two.  Do not simply copy and paste the article abstract.  Include a hyper link to the article so others in class can read and comment too.Identify and describe what was the hypothesis or hypotheses being studied? Identify and describe what research method(s) was used - observations in a lab, natural observations, surveys, case study, correlational study, experiment etc.? What was the overall result of the study? 

Assignment Preparation: Activities include completing the SkillSoft® courses, independent student reading, and research.Complete:SkillSoft® course "CompTIA Network+ N10-006: Network Architecture Part 2."SkillSoft® course "CompTIA Network+ N10-006: Network Operations Part 2."Background: Hugh Generic of Generic Financial Services has hired XYZ Systems Consulting to help with the LAN design of two offices. Mary Prince of XYZ Systems Consulting met with Hugh Generic and a transcript of their conversation can be found in the student download section on the right within the XYZ Systems Consulting folder.Resources:To gain additional insight on how to analyze network needs and possible vulnerabilities, download and use NMap which also contains Zenmap GUI as the graphical interface to show scan results. NMap is a free open source tool used to gain additional information on how to review network traffic and determine additional hosts, operating systems being used, scan ports, and application versions used on a network. The instructions for use can be downloaded using the link under the materials section on the right. Be sure to follow these instructions and then review the types of information provided.Assignment:Determine how use of this tool can be used to make decisions and provide the modification needed for this LAN Design project.Prepare a LAN design using Visio® for service request SR-mf-005 & SR-mf-007.Name your project "005_LastName_FirstInitial" and choose Create an Empty Scenario.
