4. What were the economic, political, and social impacts of Healthcare.gov's botched implementation?
5. Describe the steps that should have been taken to prevent a negative out-come in this project.
• The Case Study Review should include (2 to 3 pages)
o This does not include title pages or reference pages
o This is at least 2.5 written pages (page 3 must be at least ½ of a page)
• Summary of the case
o This should be thorough enough (but not plagiarized (meaning in your own words)) to give a reader who has not read the case a very good idea of what is going on
o Somewhere in the summary should be an explanation of what big data is
• Answer to the questions at the end of the case which are based on the case, textbook readings or outside sources (these are not your opinion but you can include comments)
o Chapter 9is titled Developing and Acquiring Information Systems on pages 318-360 and there is a lot of information on the topic related to the case throughout this chapter
o Since there are over 42 pages in our text book on this topic you should be able to find a lot of information to back up your answers to the questions and provide in-text citation.
o Such as question #5 asks about the steps that should have been taken to avoid a negative outcome on the project. Think SDLC.
• Conclusion which is your thoughts on the case and its contents
• In completing the case I want at least 3 in-text citations referencing the text book material or an outside source backing up your comments/answers
Present the paper in Microsoft Office Word document format. Name the file LastName_Case_Study_4.doc and submit it to the Online Venue (Moodle) by the beginning of Friday class of Week 12.
• All written assignments and responses should follow either MLA/APA rules
o Title page (in MLA the title is usually on the first page but, the instructor can request a title page and this is what I am asking for so that there is at least 2.5 full pages of content)
o No paragraph spacing
o Double spaced
o 1" margins (top, bottom, left and right)
o 12pt font size
o Times New Roman
o References and in-text citations follows either the APA or MLA rules
