Designing Security for Fabrikam, Inc - case study

This was our final project in the Information Systems Technology Associates curriculum at the our community college. It was challenging, more so because, I felt, we had so little direction; then because, not all of the needed information was actually covered in the curriculum classes. (To be clear, my instructor had little direction to give us, I don't blame him). These days, It’s easy enough to go out on the internet, and find anything you need, provided you know what you’re looking for.  But my instructor intimated that this “Proposal Response” really shouldn’t be any more than 3 or 4 pages.  Well, to my mind, didn't seem feasible.  I felt if one were to truly answer all of the questions that were “asked” in this case study, they’d be writing a book.  As it was the paper I turned in was 22 pages.    Please feel free to visit my public Google Bookmark page which I created out of all the places I visited on the net for my information.  And if you have any constructive criticism I'd appreciate a comment left here.  Thanks!

If I was a student of Sociology…

this semester would be perfect for a case study on how, given similar situations, women are treated differently at different ages.

This is my last semester at a Community Collage that I actually attended 20 years ago. I came back to finish my degree. When I was in my late 20s I attended this CC and never had more than a passing tense moment with any of my instructors or classmates. Now I am in my late 40s and have had two instructors who have been speciously rude and harsh toward me, and in many instances their behavior has incited the class to collectively ridicule me, any time I would question, challenge, or ask for more clarity.

Now I’ve never been one for the “soft” sciences, because of their subjectivity, but I can see their merits. In my case, my age is just one factor. There are many other factors that could be taken into account. But the bottom line is, the rudeness I am encountering is unacceptable by any measure.

... or Don't

I still can't see the "Old Man"
