• State the research question and/or hypothesis.
• Specify the approach (qualitative or quantitative), research design, sampling strategy, data collection procedures, and data analysis techniques to be used.
• If the design is quantitative, also describe the variables, measures, and statistical tests you would use.
• Analyze ethical issues that may arise and explain how you would handle these issues.

Your Final Paper must be eight to ten pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Final Exam/Assignment Overview
Overview
In the Social Sciences it is necessary to make connections between what is happening in the world and what you are learning in your course. You may be used to taking more traditional exams online. In addition to a short essay exam reviewing the textbook, you will need to complete several small assignments for a Final Project that builds upon each other to help you tie in the following key course concepts:
Civil Liberties & Rights
The role of Supreme Court decisions in policymaking
Civil Rights Legislation

What Do You Have to Do?
You have been asked to create a 3-5 double-page report on an underserved population, detailing the case law and legislation that has been passed related to the community/group you have chosen. You will need to have at least 3-5 external resources to complete your paper.
This report should include the following:
Definition of your community
Description of at least 2 Supreme Court cases and/or laws that have affected your community (either positively or negatively)
Your assessment of the current status of your community (think about whether anything else may be needed to ensure equality for this group)
Citations properly formatted
The first parts of your final paper will be graded based on the completion of the assignment and will help you do the research for your final paper. The final assignment will be graded based on the analysis of your findings and must include key course concepts from the Greenberg-Page text.

What communities can you choose?
Some examples of groups you can examine include:
Women
Minority Group (African-American, Hispanic, Asian-American, Native American, etc.)

Immigrants
LGBT community
Prisoners

How Can You Prepare?
This final assignment has 3 parts:
1. Topic Selection + Initial Research. For this you will need to select your community and find 2-3 additional resources to share on the page.
2. Final Assignment Sharing & Peer Feedback.
3. Final Assignment Submission.

Topic Selection + Initial Research.
Overview
Creating academic papers often begin with an outline. For this assignment, you will use the research you have collected for your Final Assignment and create an outline of your information. An outline generally follows this type of format:
I. Main Idea
A. Supporting Idea

2 Create an outline, making certain to note where you got your resources. The best kind of outline to use for a paper is the TOPIC SENTENCE OUTLINE (an example is on the Purdue OWL page link listed above).

erm Paper: The Service-Oriented Architecture

The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy allows businesses and organizations to offer their products and services to customers and trading partners using a standards-based integration protocol. Web Services depends on SOA for delivery. SOA uses Extensible Markup Language (XML) to exchange data and information to its products and services consumers. One of the SOA characteristics is that the integration is loosely coupled, thus simplifying integration.

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze five (5) ways in which SOA reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO).
2. Examine five (5) ways in which using XML enables data and information exchange between clients and servers using Web Services in an SOA environment.
3. Compare and contrast the loosely coupled architecture to a tightly coupled architecture in terms of TCO, maintenance, and implementation issues.
4. Analyze three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of using a standards-based integration strategy.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Explain the benefits and risks of service oriented architecture.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the integration of enterprise systems with inter-organizational partners.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in enterprise architecture.
• Write clearly and concisely about enterprise architecture topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills
