Assignment 3 Introduction – Part 1
Assignment Requirements
This assignment requires the use a Windows 7/8/ or 10 Windows operating system. You will be
required to answer conceptual questions and document your hands-on use of a Window’s Operating
System using a snipping tool.
You will also be required to have access to the Window’s administrator account or a member of the
Administrator or Power User group. When you use Windows 7/8 or 10a on your home computer or
laptop, the original account provided to you was a member of the administrator group and therefore
had administrative privileges. Windows Vista and 7 introduced the concept of User Account Control
(UAC). This issue will be discussed in this assignment. In previous versions of Windows it was
recommended not to use your administrator account (user id) for everyday use. This would make your
system more vulnerable to malware. UAC overcomes some of these deficiencies.

Using RMU VMWare View
You are provided access to a RMU virtual Windows 7 desktop using RMU VMware View at
https://view.rmu.edu/. There are two approaches for using VMware view: 1) Install and execute a
VMware View client to remotely logon to a Windows 7 desktop, or 2) Use the Vmware View HTML
access.
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
You must have a valid RMU ID to use VMware View
You must NOT store anything on the RMU VMware View Desktop. Since you are using a
virtual desk top, anything you will store on the desktop will be lost after you disconnect your
VMware view session.
Every student is provided 5GB of storage on their personal RMU U: drive. You may store any
work on this drive and it would be available to you as long as you logon to the RMU student
network.
Every student is provided 30G on Google Drive which is accessible for you from any
computer or operating system. Google Drive is a great way to backup and transfer your RMU
assignments and personal storage requirements. In summary, RMU administers and
maintains your U: drive. Google drive belongs to you.
While Google provides the Google Docs App, you should NOT use Google Docs to submit
assignments. But, it is recommended to transfer your Word Assignment Documents between
your personal storage and RMU VMware View U: drive.
It has been reported that the VMware View Client may disconnect when you have too many
windows opened, or playing audio or videos on your local computer. The HTML access may
provide more reliable access.
See Appendix A for more videos on Google drive that I prepared for high school educators.
In any RMU lab you may logon using your normal RMU id. You will be able to perform all of the
following requirements. Under normal conditions, providing students with administrative access would
be a big NO NO. However, RMU uses a product called Deep Freeze. Any changes that you make to
the RMU lab version of Windows 7 will be lost when the system re-boots. If you have a MAC
computer you can remotely access a Windows 7 computer using VMware

You Must Submit YOUR Answer in this Original Word Document to Blackboard
This Assignment Word Document will contain hidden markers that may be used to detect
plagiarism and provide an audit trail of those who may have modified the Word document.
Many students in my classes work very hard to complete and learn from their assignments. It is not
fair to those students who have professionally demonstrated their knowledge to receive the same
grade as those who have plagiarized their assignments
You MUST answer ALL requirement in this Word document and ONLY THIS Word
Document. You MAY NOT use or edit any other word processor, except any version of
Microsoft Word.
Do not use GOOGLE DOCS or Open Office DOCX files at any time. If you use any other
Word Processor you will be assigned ZERO credit.
If you do not have a copy of WORD, you may use VMWARE VIEW (available from the RMU
website) to access a virtual lab computer which contains any software needed for this course.
http://www.rmu.edu/web/cms/departments-offices/administration-services/it/Pages/vmware-view.aspx
NEVER STORE ANY DOCUMENTS ON THE DESKTOP OF VMWARE VIRTUAL COMPUTER. You
will lose your document. It is preferable to store your documents on RMU Drive U: If necessary you
can email the document to yourself.
A Little Advice Before you start
There is NO requirement to read each reference link or view each video in detail. Some of the links
will have overlapping content. Some links will provide more information than the question
requirements, but employers consider these topics to be minimal knowledge of a RMU CIS graduate.
It is recommended to visit each reference link and overview the content. Then read each question and
return to each reference link or video as needed. You may supplement your answers with content
from your text book by using a question keyword and looking up in the glossary or index in the back of
the book. PDF text books can be easily searched for keywords.
It is not required to read your text books before working on this assignment unless specified in a
requirement. Text book contents are used to support quiz questions (which contain the answers),
which are used on the tests. The reference links and videos are excellent resources.
The topics presented in the course assignments have been highly recommended by two or more
employers who recruit RMU CIS students as minimum computer hardware, operating system, and
application development knowledge. Employers expect that students should be able to present one
or two sentences of the majority of keywords applicable to job requirements in a face-to-face
interview.
On the other hand, each assignment is allocated 100 points out of a total of 1000 points. The number
of questions or hands-on activity on each assignment varies. Assume that an average assignment
has 50 requirement questions. This means that a requirement may be worth 2 points towards your
final grade. The bottom line is that missing a few questions will have little effect of your assignment or
P a g e 6 | 52
final grade. Not completing an assignment will generally decrease your final grade by at least a letter
grade. Do not waste time on the small problems.
Demonstrating Knowledge and Increased Penalties for Irrelevant Answers
If you can DEMONSTRATE your knowledge of the topic for the requirement there will be no penalty
for your answer. It is not the intention of this assignment to be “not picky”. Partial credit will be
awarded as appropriate.
If you cut-and-paste and pray that your instructor will not read your inappropriate and irrelevant
answer, the question will be penalized by increasing the deduction points beyond the original
requirement points. The instructor hates irrelevant cut-and-paste BS, or answers that appears that the
student is guessing and hopes the instructor does not read the answer.
The instructor reserves the right to increase the penalty for any submitted question or
assignment that may be construed as “wasting the instructor’s time”. Therefore, a four-point
requirement may be penalized as six-points (two additional point penalty for wasting the instructor’s
time). Sometimes blank answers will earn you’re a high assignment grade than BS answers. For
example, a submitted 100-point assignment may be penalized as 125 minus points when your final
grade is calculated for any assignment that should have never been submitted in the first place.
You Must RENAME this Original Word Document to Include your LAST NAME
YOU MUST enter your name in the beginning of this document as provided and “Save As” this
document using a new name that starts with your LAST NAME, assignment number and
semester, e.g., Jones Assignment 1 Fall 2017.docx
If you do not rename your document your assignment will be penalized by 10%.
NEVER submitted an Assignment as an Email Attachment
All assignments are to be submitted to the instructor by using the Assignment Link in the Blackboard
system. Assignments submitted as an email attachment will NOT be graded. THE INSTRUCTOR
NEVER ACCEPTS ANY ASSIGNMENT AS AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT FOR ANY REASON.
ONLY Submit a FINAL Version of ALL Assignment
Never submit an incomplete assignment for grading. Only submit your final version of ALL assignment
documents for grading. You can only submit an Assignment once.
Requests to Clear Previously Assignments for Re-Submission
If you make an error submitting an assignment you must contact the instructor to clear your previous
assignment submission. If you made an error on any assignment you may request that the previous
assignment submission be cleared so that you may resubmit the assignment again. Please only
submit a completed assignment.
P a g e 7 | 52
Submitting Late Assignments
While the assignments have a recommended due date, the instructor does not penalized your
assignment grade if you are slightly late. Please do not send the instructor an email if you are going to
submit your assignment late. The instructor is flexible and assumes you have a good excuse. But,
after you are more than two weeks late the instructor does reserve to penalize the assignment or not
accept the assignment if this late submission is unfair to other students enrolled in the course who
had completed their assignments on time.
It has been the experience of the instructor that students who are excessively or consistently late asks
a friend to provide them a copy of their assignment which will violate the RMU Academic Integrity
Policy. (Please carefully read the next section!) If a friend asks you for a copy of your assignment
“to get an idea what the instructor wants”, you are risking a zero assignment grade, an F final
grade, or a RMU Academic warning or suspension.
Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
When an instructor has possession of an electronic document it is easy to detect plagiarism. Microsoft
Word provides a variety of FREE anti-plagiarizing tools. The content of your submitted Assignment
WORD document will be COMPARED to each other student who has submitted this assignment in
the current class or any previous class as time permits. The content of each student’s assignment
may NOT be copied from any other current or past student enrolled in this class. Each
assignment is to be prepared by ONE student. Assignments are NOT a group-prepared
assignment.
Some students may attempt to SAVE AS another student’s completed assignment and rename it
using their name. Some students may attempt to Cut-and-Paste answers from one student’s
assignment document to another student’s assignment document. But as time permits, the forensic
tools used to compare ALL student’s assignments with other assignment will often detect anomalies
which will provide absolute proof of plagiarism. On-ground tests may be used to compare the
student’s knowledge to performance on assignments. All acts of plagiarism and forensic data
will be submitted the RMU Academic Integrity Board to dete …
