I now live in the United States with my lovely wife and my two-year-old son. I am intending to pursue an associate degree in Business Administration. One new thing I learned after the scavenger hunt activity was where to find the student catalog in both Moodle and Student Portal. Previously, I thought the student catalog was only…

The most dangerous social engineers are those who can invent a lie so believable that they are able to successfully impersonate a legitimate employee without ever raising any suspicion. This tactic is particularly harmful because if real employees can be tricked into believing the criminal is actually a coworker or a member of upper management, it is not very difficult for a charismatic social engineer to manipulate the employee into divulging extremely sensitive information, or even worse,…

A lot of times a good person will act unconsciously and this will make them seem as if they were a bad person. Milgram’s study reveals how far ordinary people are willing to obey orders given by an authoritative figure even if it involves hurting another human being.

The popularity of e-readers has eliminated many long-standing bookstores because more people prefer instant access to the books they want to read. With a tablet like the iPad, it is really important to take good care of it. Even though so many people own them, they…

According to a study done by Butler University, use of offensive language to describe a situation, thought, or even another character, is one of the most cited reasons for banning a book. Supporters of banning say profanity can influence the actions and thoughts of readers, especially younger readers that may not have heard or read many corrupt words in books. Huckleberry Finn, a book commonly challenged for its use of controversial racial language, is one of those books that many view as…

1. Explain what “proctoring” means and why the UoPeople requires proctored exams. A proctored exam is an exam that is overseen by a trustworthy adult that does not have any vested interest in whether the student passes or fails.

In Contrast, a brick and mortar school does not necessarily require students to find their own proctors because the professors…
