Computer Science Scenario: Suppose you were to let your friend use your computer for a couple of hours in order for them to complete their homework assignments. What kind of precautions would you take before letting them use your computer? In those precautions, what is the logic behind your reasoning? How would your precautions change if this computer was being used by the general public instead?

Computer Science Using computers and other automated tools to grade true-false and multiple-choice tests is widespread, but grading essays has been reserved for instructors. Until now. Software developed by a nonprofit enterprise founded by Harvard and MIT recently released software that can grade student essays and short written answers. Students answer online instead of in a blue book and immediately receive their grade after clicking a Send button. The software uses artificial intelligence (it initially “learns” how to grade an instructor’s test by reviewing 100 essay exams that the instructor scored) and is designed to free up professors for other tasks, as well as give students the opportunity to immediately revise their graded essays for an improved grade. But does the system work? Are the automated grades similar to what a human grader would award? Skeptics (including the National Council of Teachers of English) say no. Objections include a lack of tests to support the validity…
Add Harm/Beneficence Harm/Beneficence. The idea is to evaluate an action by following the ideas of utilitarian ethics ala John Stuart Mill. The focus would be on the identifying possible ways in which an action taken by a stakeholder would result in harm or benefit. Having identified potential harm and benefit, one can compare and weigh harm versus benefit in evaluating an action.Steps like the following could be applied:1. If the action is taken, determine who is affected (consequences)2. Determine how they would be affected3. Determine any harmful effects (financial loss, suffering, deprivation ofrights, reduce quality of life, increase risk, diminish security, etc)4. Determine beneficial effects (financial gain, improve safety, elevate qualityof life, improve health, improve security, etc)5. Compare the actions in terms of their relative harm and benefit, arriving ataction choices that provide gains in utility.Special note for the final report is to write something about scalability…
Answer by true (T) or false (F) with a justification if false. Testing is the most time consuming and expensive part of software development Justification : Software testing depends on the size of the software being tested Justification : Software testing depends on the type of product being developed? (ex: experimental, life- critical) Justification : The existence of errors not detected by test cases in the modules does not necessarily imply the misbehavior of the system.
Five schoolgirls sat for an examination. Their parents – so they thought – showed an undue degree of interest in the result. They therefore agreed that, in writing home about the examination, each girl should make one true statement and one untrue one. The following are the relevant passages from their letters: Betty Kitty was 2nd I was 3rd Ethel I was on top Joan was 2nd Joan I was 3rd Ethel was last Kitty I came out 2nd Mary was only 4th Mary I was 4th Betty was 1stWrite a prolog program to solve this puzzle. A completely working solution is required for extra points, i.e. all or nothing proposition.
Assignment As an initiation into the study of ethics, carefully read each of the following scenarios. After reflection, come up with your own answer to each of the questions. Scenario 1 Alexis, a gifted high school student, wants to become a doctor. Because she comes from a poor family, she will need a scholarship in order to attend college. Some of her classes require students to do extra research projects in order to get an A. Her high school has a few older PCs, but there are always long lines of students waiting to use them during the school day. After school, she usually works at a part-time job to help support her family. One evening Alexis visits the library of a private college a few miles from her family's apartment, and she finds plenty of unused PCs connected to the Internet. She surreptitiously looks over the shoulder of another student to learn a valid login/password combination. Alexis returns to the library several times a week, and by using its PCs and printers she…
