Overview: Now that we’ve discussed the importance of using credible secondary sources for your project, let’s start annotating! Don’t worry—we’re going to walk through the process one step at a time. This week, you’ll be guided through the writing-plan process with specific questions. In this section, we’ll first focus on finding sources. Then we’ll help you summarize those sources, evaluate their credibility, and explain how they will help support your argument. If you found a source that passed the C.R.A.A.P. test earlier in this module, feel free to use that as one of your sources. If you decided to alter your keywords and you’d like to start your research from scratch, that’s totally fine too! 

Prompt: In this activity, you’ll create an annotated bibliography by following the steps below and answering the questions as thoroughly as possible. The questions will prompt you to engage in a conversation with your sources. You will need to follow the steps below three times (for your three different sources). 

Before you begin, make sure you have: 

 Selected sources from the Opposing Viewpoints database or the Academic Search Ultimate database  At least one of your three sources should present a counterargument, a position that an opponent of your argument might make.  Applied the C.R.A.A.P test to the sources to determine if they are credible and reliable (You can download a copy of The C.R.A.A.P. Test Worksheet. Remember that credible sources should score 35 points or more on the test.) Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: 

1. Identify your sources, including author, title, and the database information or website. 2. Summarize your source. (Use the template below.)  It seems this source is arguing ____________________. This source is using the following evidence to support the argument: ____________________.  A counterargument for one of the provided sources could be: _________________________________________________________. 3. Credibility and Relevance  Explain the rationale for the credibility of the source by providing supporting evidence. (Use the template below.) o Personally, I believe the source is doing a (good job / bad job) of supporting its arguments because ____________________.  Explain the relevance of the source to your argument. (Use the template below.) o I think this source will be very helpful in supporting my argument because ________________________. 

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your annotations must include at least three sources. Save your work in a Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Then, check your writing for errors. Once you have proofread your document, submit it via the Assignment: Annotating Your Sources link in Brightspace.  

   

Overview: 

In this assignment, you will be analyzing the basic concepts for object-oriented programming, how to create classes that contain attributes and different types of methods. 

Instructions: 

Answer the following questions: 

1. Discuss the rationale behind restricting access to object attributes and requiring class users to only access attributes using methods. Explain how private access restricts outside class users from directly accessing attributes (and methods). In contrast, public access specifies that an outside class may use a method (or attribute) of the class. 

2. Describe the benefits of encapsulation and information hiding also called data hiding. As applied to objects, this means that outside objects should not be able to alter an object’s attributes but should instead interact with the object via methods. 

3. Define the terms instance variable, field, and state. Explain how class methods are shared by all objects of a class. 

4. Discuss how a class client, or class user, can use a class that has been written by another programmer. 5. Create a class diagram of one or more classes that would support a simple online library catalog. 

6. Write pseudocode class definitions of one or two of the classes created in the previous exercise. 

7. When a class contains objects of another class, the relationship is called a whole-part relationship or composition. The relationship created is also called a has-a relationship. Discuss some of the possible issues with composition, such CIS216 – Programming Principles Object-Oriented Programming as the long statement: output sales.getHighestPaidEmployee().getHireDate().getYear().

8. Describe the rules that govern the attributes of a parent class that can be accessed by a child class and the reverse 

9. Discuss the advantages of using inheritance and why superclass code is considered more reliable. 10.Research how a derived class can access the constructor of its parent class. 

11.Research the topic of multiple inheritance. Describe this concept and explain how it is commonly used in object-oriented programming languages. 

12.Create a try–catch block to accept a birth date, entered separately as month, day, and year. Included should be checks for month (1–12), day (28, 29 [if you dare], 30, and 31 days), and year (<= this year). 

Requirements: 

• Show your work in a Word document. 

o Include all your work for each question. 

o You can include screenshots of work done on paper.
