Question: There are three assignments required. Write three pages for each assignment double spaced.

- Clearly showing what you did/read/watched and how it connects to your assignment and what you are thinking/learning or already knew about a topic(s).

- Work that is NOT just a summary or an article/documentary/event, yet shows what you thought, learned, and either shows you are interested in it and/or that you can connect to other things.

- Focusing on saying something interesting, connecting information to related research, and that shows your perspectives on this information and what influences them. Things that don't help earn points

-Long summaries, worrying too much on grammar and not enough on thoughtful content. Of course you need to make it readable and not just a random collection of words and thoughts. However I am more concerned with interesting work than with the finer points of arcane grammar rules.

-Creative projects without explanations or interpretations with built into the piece and/or a written reflection. Also please don't post projects that are no more than other people's work, such as a youtube video someone else made. It has to be something you create or modify/add to (with a computer, by hand, voice, etc.) and/or if you incorporate someone else's videos, pictures, words- you add your spin to it and describe why it is important to your project. You should also cite/reference other people's work/pictures/ideas in any format, the easiest may be just posting the link next to whatever you are citing. For example, a picture with the website address you got it from pasted above/below/near it, so we can see where it is from and find it.

Assignment #1

Read :https://ethics.iit.edu/teaching/professional-ethics then write a reflection about what you read. You can use the following questions as a starting point, however you are not required to use them.

1. What is your definition of Professional Ethics?

2. Are Professional Ethics different from Personal Ethics? Why or why not?

3. What did you think of the article? Is there anything you would add or subtract from it?

Assignment #2

FERPA (Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act are important parts of our higher education institutions and medical providers.

Read about them and write about how they and why they are important, why FERPA and HIPAA are needed (or not), what stands out to you out of how they are used and enforced, etc.

Assignment #3

Explore one or two of these articles about Social Responsibility and the reflect on what you read (I added a short description before each one). You can also use other resources, online or otherwise (just remember to add the web link or citation to your reflection if you do.
You can use these questions as a starting point for your reflection, however it is not required:

1. What is Social Responsibility?

2. Is it important or not? Why or why not?

3. How can we know if a company/business is actually applying socially responsible practices?

4. What should be done with those that advertise themselves as socially responsible, yet they are not?

5. Volkswagon is a fairly recent example of a company that says one thing and does another. Do you have any opinions about it?

For each one I need three pages 12 point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins (usually you can open a document and leave it on the default settings) in an easily read font (Garamond, Times New Roman, etc.).
