Your company is ready to market their ability to sell goods. You will need to create a graphic that includes a business logo and a dollar amount of current sales. Your logo must include at least 1 shape, defined by a geometric path, using class GeneralPath, and the name of your business. Although the logo may be a compilation of shapes, including basic shapes provided by the Graphics class (i.e., rectangle, polygon, oval, arc or line), the logo must contain at least 1 shape that is not a basic shape and the name of the business. You want to impress your customers; therefore, your logo will flash on and off at a smooth rate, like a neon sign.

Current dollars in goods sold this year should also be displayed in the graphic. Your application will use the Accounts inheritance hierarchy designed previously to compute the total of goods sold. There are 3 types of sales accounts that track sales for your company: supplies, services, and paper.

Each sales account has its own formula for computing the current sales:

• Supplies = office supplies sold dollar amount + books sold dollar amount + apparel sold dollar amount
• Services = number of hours * rate per hour
• Paper = number of pounds * price per pound

Intermediate-level Java programming should be demonstrated in your application:

• There should be implemented constructors for each class.
• The toString() method should be overridden to provide readable string representation of each object.
• Getters and setters need to be implemented to enforce data hiding.
• Code should be fully commented.
• Program flow should be logical.
• Behavior should be encapsulated into methods avoiding all encompassing large main() methods.
• Projects should be developed in NetBeans and zipped prior to submission.
• Code should compile and run free of exceptions, indicating that debugging tools were used to eliminate any run time errors.

It is important to keep the design document up-to-date. Please add the pseudocode developed for the drawing of the logo in the Phase 5 Discussion Board to your design document.

• Zipped NetBeans project

Competency Test

The second part of the key assignment is a competency test that will test you on UML; inheritance and polymorphism; Java API class libraries; Java 2-D graphics with Java API methods, properties, and events; and debugging tools. If you do not pass this competency exam, you will not be able to proceed to the second Java course in this series, IT252. Answer each question True or False.

1. Java supports multiple inheritance.
2. To say that class B extends from class A is to say that class B inherits from class A.
3. Inheritance, in UML 2.0, is denoted by a solid line drawn from the child class with a closed, unfilled arrowhead pointing to the super class.
4. In the NetBeans debugger, you can set a breakpoint on any line number including comments and nonexecutable statements.
5. To observe how variables change as a program executes, you would watch the call stack using the NetBeans debugger.
6. The step-over command in NetBeans allows you to skip a line in the program from being executed.
7. The GeneralPath class is in the java.awt.geom package.
8. The Font and Color classes are in the java.awt package.
9. Programming to an interface is another term for programming to an implementation.
10. A Concrete class has at least one abstract method.
11. An Interface contains no method implementations.
12. A benefit of inheritance is code reusability.
13. Overridden methods are a form of polymorphism.
14. Overriding the toString() method facilitates printing the current state of an object.
15. Overridden methods cannot have the same name and same signature.
16. A call to the superclass’s constructor, super(), has to be the first line in a subclass’s constructor.
17. In Inheritance, the more general class is the subclass and the more specialized class is the superclass.
18. All classes extend from class Object.
19. You can instantiate an abstract class as long as you have declared all methods as final.
20. Polymorphism is used to make programs easily extensible.

For this project you will need to write a review of a movie or TV show that focuses on the way that the movie or TV show addresses issues related to code switching.  This review should not be simply a thumbs-up or thumbs-down exercise.  Instead you must analyze the social context of the film or TV show.  Use the reviews of All American Muslim and Selfie as a guide.  This review requires research into other, related TV shows or movies, as well as any specific controversies surrounding the show or movie.  For example, if you chose to write about All-American Muslim you would have to address how both Lowe’s and Kayak pulled their advertising from the show, and if you were to choose to write about Fresh of the Boat you would need to discuss how the author of the memoir the show was based on wrote an essay about how the show differed from his original vision.

Selected Movied: Smoke Signals

This project must be 3-5 pages long and in MLA format. 

• What does the title contribute to the reader’s understanding?
• Who is speaking? What is the situation?
• What difficult, special, unusual words does the poem contain?
• What references need explaining?
• How does the poem develop?  Personal statement or a story?
• What is the main idea of the poem?
• What kind of figurative language is the poem using? What about symbolism or literary allusions?

Assumption and Context: You have been the manager of a Dunkin Donuts store in the Midwest for the past two years. The store is owned by a Dunkin Donuts franchisee who owns 20 other Dunkin Donuts locations. Your employer took an employee inventory and examined all current employees. It has been noted by the owner that you have a highly successful track record. You have been recognized for doing an exceptional job staffing, leading, training, coaching, and managing people. You have been recognized for successfully managing all key components of your store and have successfully managed key business drivers such as cash, profits, growth, asset utilization and people. In regards to the metrics that are used to measure their stores for sales, quality, and customer service, your store is the top performing store in their system. 

Congratulations! You have just been promoted to District Manager! The Dunkin Donuts franchisee sees your growth potential and the growth potential in your geographic area. The owner now has committed significant capital and plans to open five new locations over the next two years. You will be given complete autonomy, authority, and responsibility to structure, staff, and operate these five new locations. You will be playing a key role in this expansion for growth.   

Prepare a five-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages), including at least three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, formatted according to APA style guidelines. In your paper, explain your chosen job design, organizational design, your recruiting strategy and methods, and your training and performance appraisal process as the new District Manager for Dunkin Donuts. 

You must organize your paper using the following section headings and include additional section headings as needed: 

1. Introduction 
2. Job Design 
3. Organizational Design 
4. Recruiting and Selection
5. Training and Performance Appraisals
6. Conclusion

The Project Paper focuses on a suggested topic related to art, architecture, history, music, or literature. The project will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities to be the creative, innovative, and critical thinker you already are! 

Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic.

Note: Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.

For the topic you choose:

Topic choices (pick 1):

• Self-Portraits. Journal. The Renaissance artists Titian, Rembrandt, and Durer have each painted self-portraits. Imagine yourself as one of these artists (or another artist of your choice that has painted a self-portrait) and write a journal expressing your thoughts on “your” art (in other words, the journal entries the artist would probably write.) (1) Explain “your” primary reason for painting a self-portrait. (2) Describe “your” artistic choices in composition: use of color, space, etc. (3) Explain what the portrait represents about “you” (as the artist.) (4) Explain “your” choices of subject with regard to at least three other specific pieces “you” have painted.
• Ladies & Gentlemen. Survey & Report. Some may believe that being “gentleman” or a “lady” in today’s society is an outdated notion, but others may disagree. (1) Briefly summarize the main characteristics of a well-rounded person, “l’uomo universal,” referring to specific sections within the excerpt from The Courtier which identifies these characteristics. (2) Create a “survey” based on the identified characteristics and “poll” at least ten people to find out whether or not the characteristics are relevant for a “gentleman” or “lady” of today. (3) Tabulate and discuss the responses in terms of gender, age, vocation, etc. of your survey participants, making note of any interesting or surprising results which show up in your poll answers. (4) Finally, explain whether or not you agree with the characteristics expressed by Castiglione in The Courtier.
• BayeuxTapestry Experience. Letter. Imagine yourself as one of the figures in the battle depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry; in a letter home, you describe your experience to your family. (1) Write a first-person account of this historical event from the perspective of one of the figures in tapestry. (2) Use your senses to describe your impression of the event. (3) Describe specific elements of the scene such as uniforms, weaponry, fighting styles, etc. (4) Explain why you believe your side was justified in participating in the battle and how you would like the battle to be remembered.
• Ancient Emperors. Deathbed Memoir. Pretend you are one of the emperors we have studied, such as Shihuangdi, Constantine, Ashoka, or Charlemagne. You are on your deathbed and want to write a brief account of your life. As you look back over your life, what do you consider your greatest accomplishments in 1) politics, 2) art / architecture, and 3) religion, philosophy or intellectual life? Finally (4), describe and explain anything you have done for which you fear history will judge you harshly, or present the proudest aspects of your legacy.
