Write My Essay For Me

  1. A topic of your choice subject to the approval of your instructor. I strongly encourage you to choose this option. If you do choose it, you must send me aoneparagraph description of your topic. You could start researching the topic only if I approve it.
  2. Information Technologyin the Service of People with Disabilities.

  1. Big Brother and Privacy: a Critical Analysis of Edward Snowden’s and Julian

Assange’s Revelations.

The recent revelations of how state agencies in various countries spy on the citizens of those and other countries have strengthen existing fears of gross infringements of privacy rights by those who are expected to defend them. Are those fears justified? Do you approve of Snowden and Assange’s actions? Have we gained anything from those actions?

 

  1. Health Information on the Web.

Research, report and assess how the new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) affect medical care. You might wish to examine the many Web-based health information sites and their implications in terms of benefits to the patients, reliability of the information, privacy protection, techniques that are available to rate or accredit sites, doctor-patient relations, etc.

  1. Digital Money: does it have a future?

What is money? Give a brief history of different kinds of money, including past examples of money that was not issued by governments. Money in the digital age: describe Bitcoin (and/or another digital money system). Why do people use it? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Consider privacy of transactions, volatility, inflation, use by criminals, etc. and compare to standard money.

  1. How the First Apple Macintosh Came to Be.

The first Apple Macintosh introduced in January 1984 constituted a milestone in the history of computers but how did it come to be? Whose idea was it and how did that original idea evolve? Who were the main figures who brought about the Mac and how did they work as a team? How did the public receive the first Mac? What is the historical significance of the first Mac? Are there any lessons to be learned from its development?

 

  1. The Free Software and Open Software movements.

What are these two movements and how did they originate? What is the difference between them? How successful have they been so far? Will these movements radically change the way software is created and distributed? Will they have any far reaching social consequences?

Plagiarism

Now and then, a student hands in a paper he or she did not write at all or in which large segments are copied from other sources. Please don’t do this. It is dishonest, unfair to your fellow students, and unpleasant for both you and the instructor. Instructors are under the obligation to report cases of suspected plagiarism to the appropriate university discipline office. Write in your own words. Start early; talk to the instructor if you have problems.

To prevent plagiarism – whether intentional or inadvertent — students must confirm in writing that they have taken the online Academic Integrity Tutorial

(http://www.yorku.ca/tutorial/academic_integrity/) and that as a result, they understand York University regulations regarding plagiarism. The confirmation will be made in an email addressed to one of the TAs (name and email address to be determined) by the date indicated on Moodle. In the subject line, the email should contain the word Plagiarism. In its body, the email should contain your full name and student number, and the following line.

This is to confirm that I have taken the Academic Integrity Tutorial and that I fully understand what constitute an act of plagiarism as well as York University regulations regarding academic integrity and plagiarism.

 

Marking Criteria

Marking criteria include: thesis or research question statement, background or history, presentation of issues and various points of view, quality of argument and analysis (principles, examples, counter examples), structure/organization, clarity of writing, sufficient references, sufficient length, originality, adherence to the Chicago style, endnotes and bibliography. You should define terms where necessary. Be sure to thoroughly read and edit your final draft before handing it in.

General Advice

Start early in case you have to change topics or find a new interviewee or activity. If you wait until late in the year, you might discover that the information on your topic and/or the person you want to interview are/is unavailable.  Investigate the topic. Use scholarly books and articles and whenever possible on-line material.

Do not just report. Discuss pros and cons. Evaluate. Use your own words. Quote where appropriate. Give citations for facts and quotes. Discuss how your topic relates to material covered in the course readings and /or in class discussions.

Note: Students who need help with improving their writing skills should contact the Writing Centre.

Use a variety of sources for information and arguments. If you use articles from the Web, give the URL and the organization sponsoring the site. There’s a lot of junk and unsupported opinion on the Web. Pay attention to quality of your sources. (If your topic is covered in the course readings do not use them as a main source. Report in more depth and/or on newer or other aspects of the topic.)
