Using Resources to Promote Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is an integral part of any educational program
At UC, we encourage and provide applicable resources for the promotion of critical thinking
In order to properly research and complete course papers, proper resources must be utilized
Critical Thinking helps us to:
Understand the links between ideas.
Determine the importance and relevance of arguments and ideas.
Recognize, build and appraise arguments.
Identify inconsistencies and errors in reasoning.
Approach problems in a consistent and systematic way.
Reflect on the justification of their own assumptions, beliefs and values.

Researching Using the Critical Questions
When using research resources, it is imperative to review the six critical questions and implement that data into your writings.
Proper Resources for Research
When asked to completed a research paper in the UC School for Computer and Information Sciences, you must use scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
A peer-reviewed article is one that has “been evaluated by several researchers or subject specialist in the academic community prior to accepting it for publication” and is “also known as scholarly or refereed.”
Your professor or the UC Librarian team can help you determine whether or not an article is peer-reviewed.
Proper Resources for Research
Examples of sites with peer-reviewed resources
UC Library Site
EBSCOhost
JSTOR
Google Scholar
Examples of sites with unacceptable resources
PC Magazine
Cisco
Ars Technica
Proper Format is Important
All papers written for courses within the School for Computer and Information Sciences must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) writing style.
University Resources
The UC Library provides a myriad of online resources to assist students with proper research
Resources referring to Information Security can be found inside the UC Library site

DR plan should follow NIST standards and formatting
Research Paper
Tasks:
Find and review peer-reviewed scholarly articles concerning disaster recovery and business continuity
Find and review an organization that fits within your assigned industry
Apply research from articles and chosen organization to create research paper concerning how that organization uses BCDR and your recommendations on any changes, advantages, or disadvantages
Using information gained from your research and well know NIST standards, create a disaster recovery plan for the organization you choose (you can create a DR plan for the whole organization or only a division/department of it)
Research Presentation
Goal is to summarize your research paper and DR plan
Must present for at least 15 minutes but no more than 20 minutes
Your group will be randomly selected for presentation
All group members need to participate in the presentation
