Bieri (n.d.) writes that "Disaster management may be seen as a combination of traditional scientific and technical know-how and an appropriate method of decision-taking." Discuss the strong need for analysis, both in theory and in practice, of the different potential interactions between man, nature, and society. Consider recent international natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, storms, avalanches, landslides, and fires, and discuss whether disaster researchers should shift their research away from the post-disaster response and toward an integrated risk management and sustainable risk prevention culture.

RESEARCH PAPER

This assignment requires you to review the current academic literature on one of the topics covered in class. The paper should be technical in nature, focusing on factual research results along with technical recommendations for management. The paper should not focus on problem identification or definitions, but on solutions and recommendations. This is not a review of individual articles but a review of the literature similar to the term papers written in other classes. The finished product looks like an article from the Academy of Management Review or the literature review section of a research article.

The paper should include a thorough literature review and a discussion of the practical implications of the information. The paper should be at least 15 pages long (double spaced, 1 margins, Times New Roman font, 12 pt.), excluding the title page, abstract and bibliography. At lease one third of the paper, a separate section, should be your interpretation of the information, practical implication, recommendations, and conclusion. You must also follow proper procedures for citing the work of others. You may want to use the American Psychological Association style manual for this purpose.

You must use only articles from academic journals (at least 7 articles) which includes: Personnel Psychology, Journal of Management, Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, and Journal of Applied Psychology. A partial list of academic and practitioner journals follows to the research assignment sheet. It is the students responsibility to insure that all reference materials meet the academic journal requirements. If you are not sure, ask.

You cannot use book reviews in the academic journals or information from an internet site. You may obtain the information over the internet but it must be from academic journals.

I will grade the papers on content, presentation (spelling, grammar, format, etc.), logic, and degree of original analysis.

I will not accept any paper that does not site at least seven academic articles, meet the page requirements, include a separate section with personal views and recommendations, or reflect graduate level work. I will not accept any paper that includes plagiarism or excessive quotes, representing more that 15% of the paper. You will receive a 0% for the paper. If you have any doubts contact me. You must have your articles for the literature review before the second weekend and have me review them.





Students are expected to be familiar with the professional literature in their fields of study. The professional journals are the most immediate and direct communication link between the researcher and the practicing manager.

A. Research-Orientated (Academic) Journals. These journals contain articles that report on original research. Normally these journals contain either sophisticated writing and quantitative verifications of the authors findings or conceptual models and literature reviews of previous research. You may use articles from these journals or any law review article. You may not use book reviews or information from the internet. You may use additional research oriented articles if you have them approved prior to the due date.

Plagiarism:
A Brief Overview





Kirsten Fleming



Associate Professor
of Mathematics


August, 1998








CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

Plagiarism: A Brief Overview

Plagiarism is the intentional or unintetional use of the work of another without proper acknowledgment.
You may be aware that reproducing the published words of another without acknowledging the source of the words is plagiarism; however, you might be unaware of the scope of the concept of plagiarism. The term plagiarism applies not only to the published word, but also to unpublished materials, the spoken word, opinions, theories, pictures, graphs, and statistics. In fact, plagiarism might occur at any time when the material of another is being used, regardless of the source or format of the material. An example of a situation in which unintentional plagiarism can easily occur is when students work together, formally or informally, on a class assignment. If you do collaborative work with other students and then use their ideas or material in the work you submit, you must credit the work of the other students. If you do not properly acknowledge that you have incorporated the work of other students into your materials, you are guilty of plagiarism.
In addition, you might not appreciate that plagiarism is not limited to copying verbatim from a source but also occurs when you paraphrase the work of another.
The sole exception to the rule that all materials being used must be properly acknowledged is if the material being used is common knowledge. Information and ideas that appear in many places or that are readily available to anyone would be regarded as common knowledge. You may not know what is common knowledge in your discipline. When in doubt, err on the side of citing your source.
The appropriate method of acknowledging source materials varies from discipline to discipline and from instructor to instructor. References to source materials might be given in footnotes, endnotes, a bibliography together with pointers in the text indicating where and which bibliographical item was used, or possibly in the body of your text. You should talk to your instructors about their requirements for properly acknowledging sources.
Types of Plagiarism
If you use a sentence (or sentences), a phrase (or phrases) or possibly even a single word (if the word is unique or newly coined) lifted directly from a source, you must enclose the sentence (phrase or word) in quotation marks and you must cite the source of the material. Otherwise you are committing plagiarism. In general, direct quotes should be used sparingly and only when the wording of the source material is particularly effective or salient. Quotations should not be used as a mechanism for avoiding the often challenging task of expressing ideas in your own words.
Although not word-for-word copying, the reproduction of source material in which the basic structure is unchanged but in which you substitute synonyms for certain words or in which the structure is rearranged is considered plagiarism, even if you cite the source. Use your own words; avoid paraphrasing. Not only will this assure you avoid this form of plagiarizing, but it will also allow you to demonstrate that you truly understand the concepts you are discussing.
Although many students recognize and carefully avoid the forms of plagiarism just described, they are sometimes unaware that using the ideas, opinions, findings, or theories of another is also plagiarism unless the source is given credit. Therefore, it is imperative that you credit your source whenever you use the ideas, opinions, findings, or theories of another, even when you are expressing them in your own words.
To repeat: any use of words taken directly from the source should be placed in quotation marks and you should cite the source. Avoid paraphrasing or using slight variations in the language. Even if you are not using direct quotes, you must cite the source when you are using ideas and information contained in the source material unless the ideas are common knowledge.
In order to help you understand what constitutes plagiarism, consider the following text written by Fleming in 1998:
An attribute of high-quality education is, most certainly, the quantity of knowledge conveyed to, and learned by, a student. In addition to possessing a good knowledge base, a student who has been fully educated should be able to: communicate effectively; apply critical thinking skills; and adapt to unanticipated circumstances.
Now consider four excerpts from (fictitious) student papers where the above original text was used as a source. Each excerpt is followed by a discussion of whether, and how, the excerpt exhibits plagiarism.
Excerpt 1: A characteristic of a good education is, most certainly, the amount of information conveyed to, and assimilated by, a student. As well as having a broad knowledge base, a student who has been completely educated should be able to: speak well; use critical thinking skills; and adapt to unforeseen circumstances (Fleming, 1998).
Comment: Even though the source is cited, this is quite clearly plagiarism. A number of words have been replaced by synonyms but the underlying structure of the original statement is unchanged. In addition, the sense of the original statement is not fully preserved the ability to communicate effectively is not the same as the ability to speak well.
Excerpt 2: A student who has been fully educated should be able to: apply critical thinking skills; communicate effectively; and adapt to unanticipated circumstances. Although an attribute of high-quality education is, most certainly, the quantity of knowledge conveyed to, and learned by, a student, the possession of a good knowledge base does not constitute a complete education (Fleming, 1998).
Comment: Again the source is cited, but this is still plagiarism. The original statement has simply been rearranged but still consists of the original authors words.
Excerpt 3: There are many different ideas of what makes a high-quality education. Most people believe that an important attribute of a high-quality education is the quantity of knowledge conveyed to, and learned by, a student. However, it is also believed that the tangible skills and knowledge gained from education do not constitute a complete education. A complete education must also give a student the ability to communicate effectively; apply critical thinking skills; and adapt to unanticipated circumstances.
Comment: This is still plagiarism. The ideas being conveyed in this version are unattributed. Even if the ideas were properly credited, this would still be plagiarism since the text borrows phrases from the original. The borrowed phrases should be placed in quotation marks or, preferably, where possible the ideas should be expressed in words other than the original authors.
Excerpt 4: There are many different ideas of what makes a high-quality education. An important part of a good education is that a student gain a significant body of knowledge and also that the student master the tangible skills appropriate to their discipline. However, it is also believed that the tangible skills and knowledge gained from education do not constitute a complete education. Fleming (1998) believes that a complete education must also give a student the ability to: communicate effectively; apply critical thinking skills; and adapt to unanticipated circumstances (p. 2). A student should also leave college with the ability to work successfully with other people as well as independently.
Comment: This is not plagiarism. The ideas being conveyed in this text are attributed and the phrases lifted from the original text are enclosed in quotation marks.
Avoiding Plagiarism
When using source materials in your work, you should:
Express the ideas, facts, etc. in your own words.
Ensure that the information being conveyed accurately reflects the original material.
Place the spoken or written words of another person in quotation marks.
Cite the source material using the format appropriate to your discipline. If you are unsure as to whether a source should be cited, then err on the side of including a citation.

A Final Caution
Claiming Ive always written papers this way and no one ever told me it was wrong is no defense for plagiarism. Perhaps you have been lucky until now. The only way to ensure you do not get caught plagiarizing is to avoid it. The penalties are very severe.

Need to do a paper on a Risk Management Plan. I have attached all documentation along with instructions of what's required.

Your final paper for the course project (the RMP) is due in Week 7.
Please reference the template found in Appendix A, page 197, of the Practical Project Risk Management: The ATOM Methodology text.
The course project paper is your Risk Management Plan (RMP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guidelines
Just a few reminders on your final course project paper:
? You will be using the information that you have obtained in the weekly assignments to complete the paper, but you should not simply copy and paste the weekly assignments into each sections of your final paper.
? Ensure that each of your weekly assignments has been submitted and graded. Remember that the paper is only one part of your weekly work and that your weekly assignments make up critical information you will use to write your final course project paper.
? Follow the format as indicated in the Deliverables section, above.
? One of the most important steps that you can take: PROOFREAD your paper!!! Have someone else who does not know about the project read the paper. If he or she can read and fully understand what you're saying, you probably have a good paper. Remember: You know what you're saying, but does the reader understand the message that you're trying to convey? This one element will save you time and the grief of a poor grade for grammar and readability.
? Papers must be 15 to 20 pages in length (this would be roughly one page per area included in the report), 10-point font, double-spaced, and must include a cover page, table of contents, introduction, body of the report, summary or conclusion, and works cited.
? Even though this is not a scientific writing assignment and is mostly creative in nature, references are still very important. At least six authoritative, outside references are required (anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable). These should be listed on the last page, titled "Works Cited."
? Appropriate citations are required.
? All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the plagiarism policy.
? Papers are due during Week 7 of this course.
? Any questions about this paper may be discussed in the weekly Q & A Discussion topic.
? This paper is worth 175 total points and will be graded on quality of research topic, quality of paper information, use of citations, grammar, and sentence structure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

? Body of Your Report ? Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: "The Development of Hotel X ? A World Class Resort." Then proceed to break out the main ideas. State the main ideas, state major points in each idea, and provide evidence. Break out each main idea you will use in the body of your paper. Show some type of division, like separate sections that are labeled, separate groups of paragraphs, or headers. You would include the information you found during your research and investigation.
? Summary and Conclusion ? Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing; it presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they effect the project.
? Work Cited ? Use the citation format as specified in the Syllabus.
Additional hints on preparing the best possible project.
1. Apply a three-step process of writing: Plan, Write, and Complete.
2. Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go forward.
3. Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any required changes.
Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your report: Example graphs, diagrams, and photographs.

1. Define NETWORK MANAGEMENT.

2. What should you consider when choosing a network management system and tools for your organization?

Think along the lines of the Network Management System (NMS) is not really a single system as technology stands today. There are numerous products we have heard about, such as, HP Open View, Tivoli, etc, that we are told are NMSs. However, none of these products are capable today of providing all of the FCAPS functions for a network.we need to look at the core duties of the network managers. These are the main functions to perform defined by the ISO.
