week 9

This week's topic on security threats and unethical business practices were interesting. One of the main functions of my division is to assess the threats that my company faces and try to prevent them so it was fun hearing all of the posts on this and how each is working to minimize this threat. I would have loved to make a youtube video instead of posting someone else's video but time constraints made this impossible.

week 8

This week has been challenging for me so hopefully this week's work is at an acceptable level. SWOT analysis is a new term for me, and learning about it was interesting. We do something similar at work but we don't call it SWOT so it was kind of an aha moment. While I could not do one on my department it was cool to perform one anyway.

Week 7

Midterms have come and gone and I hope I that the work I did was acceptable. These weeks mini project has left me thinking about the govnerment and some of the stats I was able to see. This is my first time using Fedoscope and in was interesting to see how underreprsented some groups were in certain locations, job functions and areas in government. This class is unlike what I had expected in that so far it has challenged me to think about things that I wouldn't have other wise associated with this course. While I may not always agree with the posts it is nice to hear other's opinions on the topics.

On to week 8...
