Attached is an example of citation style and one of the sources wil attached short chapters from the books, no other sources allowed assignment is ( min 8 pages max 12 pages)

Students will answer all four of the following essays. This is an “open book” test and, in fact, references should be made to your course readings. (And remember: no sources outside of our course materials and absolutely no consultation or collaboration with anyone on your answers.) Essays should be well-written and free of typos and compositional errors. Students should show sophistication in their understanding and thoughtfulness in their answers. Students should expect to write about 2-3 typed (double-spaced) pages PER essay (so 8-12 pages total).

1. The House and Senate have similar, and yet different, rules for debating, amending, and passing legislation. Chapter 8 in Congress and Its Members explains the processes of both the House and the Senate (and chapters 20 and 21 in the Reader give examples of rules for each institution). Discuss each chamber’s process separately, highlighting at least five key rules in each case. (Do NOT, though, spend a lot of time discussing filibuster, as you will be addressing that subject in Question 2.) Which rules are most critical in each chamber? How do the rules allow each institution to fulfill its constitutional obligations?

2. Two articles on Blackboard (under “Readings”) address the filibuster from differing perspectives. (You may want to lean somewhat on chapter 8 Congress and Its Members for some parts of the question too.) First, explain the history of the filibuster—its beginnings and its development over time. Next, explain its current status: how is it most likely to be employed today? Third, what are the key arguments against the filibuster and what are those for it? (For this part of the question, consult the articles under “Readings.”) Finally, what is your own view of the filibuster? Should it be retained or reformed, and why?

3. Presidents can influence domestic policy in a number of different ways. In chapter 10 in Congress and Its Members (as well as chapters 28-30 in the Reader), a president’s veto options are discussed. Explain the veto (or “negative”) power. What is it, how has it has changed over time, and how do presidents employ the power today? Be sure to distinguish between a “regular” and “pocket” veto. How does the veto relate to the “signing statement”? (Remember, this is somewhat complicated; make sure to be subtle in your answer.) Why might a signing statement be employed instead of a veto? Finally, do you think presidents should use the veto more or less today? Why?

4. In chapter 15 in Congress and Its Members (especially 462-470) as well as the two articles on Blackboard (under “Readings”), the war making roles of Congress and the president are addressed. Explain the early history of the war power and who the Founders expected to have a larger role in the process. Also, how have the roles of Congress and the president evolved, especially since the early 20^th century? Focusing on recent events, what light does the Iraq War—especially the lead up to the war—shed on the issue of the modern use of the war power? Who holds the balance of power and who should hold the balance? Explain.

Instruction:

The remaining team project assignments in this course are based on a hypothetical business case for which your project team is serving as information system consultants. This is a cumulative team project process in which each team project following this one is continuing work for the hypothetical business on which this case is based.

Part 1

Information Requirements Determination (IRD) Project Component

Based on your consulting company’s initial work in discovering the business needs of Mid-Century Modern Décor Unlimited (MCMDU), you now have the following additional information about your client company’s processes that will need to be supported by the planned inventory information system:

1. Addition of new item to inventory system: the marketing/sales staff, in cooperation with the manufacturing staff, transmits the basic information on new products to be added to inventory management on a paper form brought to the inventory management office. This form must contain approval signatures of the Vice President for Operations and the Vice President for Sales. Upon receipt of a correct form (as determined by the Inventory Management staff), the inventory information for the new item is added to the appropriate Microsoft Excel 2010 workbook(s).
2. Recurring inventory report: the inventory is reported on a monthly basis in printed form and distributed through interoffice mail to the owner, vice presidents, and managers of the manufacturing and marketing/sales departments.
3. Ad-hoc inventory reports: an ad-hoc report on one or more inventory items may be requested by the owner, vice presidents, and managers of the manufacturing and marketing/sales departments. These requests must be created on a “Special Report Request” paper form brought to the inventory management office. The inventory management staff attempts to produce these reports within two business days of the time of the request.
4. The inventory management staff will also create an ad-hoc report in printed form upon phone request from either the owner or the company vice presidents. There is not a special form for this request: the inventory management will jot the specifications for the needed report down on paper when called by these individuals with a request. The inventory management staff attempts to produce these reports within one business day of the time of the request.
5. The inventory management staff maintains the templates for inventory information from the e-commerce retailer customers within a file folder on a hard drive on the PC computer system in the Inventory Management office. Recall from the Background Information section that e-commerce retailers will generally require that their company-specific templates be used when transmitting inventory-related information such as complete product descriptions. Once the templates are populated with the requested information, the Inventory Management staff can transmit that information to the e-commerce retailers by logging in through the retailer’s extranet portal for MDU.

The Tasks:

Obviously, you will be facing a challenge in effectively determining systems requirements for this project. Based on the information provided in Chapter 6 of the course textbook and web-based research, your team’s task here is to select an overall strategy for determining system requirements. In addition, you have decided to develop an interview process with various employees of the company to assist in determining the information requirements needed to support the development of a system that meets the scope of the planned system. Create this deliverable in a Microsoft Word document.

Your deliverable for this component of the team project is to include the following components:

1. A project scope statement: see the associated definition/description on page 199 of the course textbook and the example portrayed in Figure 5-10 on page 134 of the course textbook.
2. An analysis of systems requirements determination strategies (review Chapter 6) in order to select the optimal strategy for this specific information systems project for MDU. This component must contain an identification and discussion of the potential strategies followed by your well justified recommendation for proposing the optimal strategy for information requirements determination (IRD) for the planned system. Be aware that a single method of IRD is almost never adequate to gather the needed information for a systems development project.
3. An interview plan as detailed in interview outlines followed by specific questions (you should use both close-ended and open-ended questions) that you plan to ask in initial interviews with (1) Alexis Harrison, the company owner and (2) company employees (specify which ones). Note that you may also choose to employ additional interviewing methods (see Chapter 6) for obtaining this type of information.

Required Format:

The required format of this component is five clearly labeled sections:

1. The Project Scope Statement

My perspectives:?

This PSS is based on the MCMDU company, this company has six requirement (listed in the case). Then the instruction told us the additional information that should be supported. Then the professor told us to go through the Ch6 in textbook, however i think Ch5 will be more useful to write a PSS…

I think PSS should at least include the rationality of the project, project objectives, project deliverables list and something else like assumptions… deliverables list….???I find a PSS templet and a PSS example for you. (attached below). Or if you have better ideas, that’s all fine. You can just fill in the form, combine with the MCMDU situation, plus use the professional business language. And in my opinion, 2 pages should be enough… cuz i think it is just like a description and summary of what we are gonna do, why we do this, why do we feel that we can succeed (to be honest, i have no idea with the length…lol).

Anyway, Thank you so much for helping me!
