Define plagiarism.
Discuss resources, tools, and strategies that are available to help prevent plagiarism.
Submit a paper to, and retrieve feedback from, Turnitin.
Overview
This assignment will familiarize you with the University’s policy regarding Academic Integrity and how it relates specifically to plagiarism. It will also introduce you to Turnitin, a tool used by the University to assist faculty and students to ensure that sources are properly cited. You will submit the first draft of your paper, and during this process it will be automatically checked by Turnitin. You’ll receive a report back, make any revisions as needed based on the feedback, and then re-submit your paper for grading.

Plagiarism
plagiarism (noun):

A piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work.
The act of plagiarizing; taking someone’s words or ideas as if they were your own.
From this definition of plagiarism, it is quite evident why it cannot be tolerated by the University. Tolerating plagiarism undermines the value of your degree and condones cheating. Please remember that plagiarism also includes submitting an assignment that has previously been submitted by you in another course and/or facilitating academic dishonesty by making your completed assignments available for another student to copy.

For more information on plagiarism, review the Understanding Plagiarism (Links to an external site.) page on the Learning Strategies library website.

Turnitin
To help you to make sure that you have cited all of your sources, you will use Turnitin to check your paper. This service provides you with a report indicating any word-for-word matches between your paper and any material that it has in its database.

If your Turnitin report indicates a high plagiarism match, do not panic! You will have an opportunity to make sure that the source matched by Turnitin has been appropriately cited according to APA citation guidelines. When you revise a section of your paper that has been flagged for possible plagiarism, you have two options:

Paraphrase material from your sources more carefully.

   Instructions
   You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.

   On your first day in the position, the CEO requested that you design a short in-service training session for employees on the importance of professional ethics and liability protections.

   You will need to develop an information sheet that explains the similarities and differences between laws and ethics, and the impact of unethical practices on healthcare. An information sheet provides brief and clear information on the required subject. Often, bullet points are utilized in an information sheet; however, since employees will be expected to know and understand the material thoroughly, your information sheet should be more detailed and offer supporting evidence, including a reference list.

   1. The information sheet should give your employees enough information to understand the differences and similarities between ethics and laws, the impact of unethical practices on healthcare, and the importance of professional ethics.
   2. Make sure to use audience-specific language and tone in your information sheet. Remember, you are writing this information sheet for your co-workers; however, the CEO and the Board of Directors may attend.
   3. Be creative, and make your information sheet fun, yet still clearly organized.

NOTE – APA formatting for the reference list, and proper grammar, punctuation, and form are required. APA help is available .

 

During job interviews, employers often ask if you are familiar with cybersecurity software. For this reason, it is a good idea to become familiar with commonly used software, including capabilities and limitations. These software products are the tools for conducting your day-to-day duties.

For the first six weeks of this course, you have been exposed to many different tools that an analyst should become familiar with: analyst tools, exploitation tools, and forensics tools. Provide a response in which you:

1. Describe a lab or a software tool that you used that has helped you to better understand the role of an analyst within an organization, such as:

• Kali
• Metasploit
• Nessus
• Nmap
• Process Explorer
• Splunk
• Wireshark
• Any other tool used in the course

2. Describe the process to install, set up, and configure the tool you selected above. Did you find the tool easy to use? Did you encounter challenges?

3. Highlight some of the benefits of the tool you selected above. Provide some examples of where you think using the tool would benefit you as a cybersecurity threat analyst. Why do you think the tool would be best?
