Prompts
1. Branding, logos, and marketing are a reality for NGOs looking to satisfy donors and establish recognition at home and abroad. Describe how one or more NGOs handle their promotion efforts, and the implications – positive and negative – that it has for their operations.
2. Institutional donors are becoming increasingly specific about the activities that an NGO should undertake to receive grants and other funding. Some argue that NGOs now operate more as “contractors” with less flexibility or incentive for community-driven development. Discuss this phenomenon in relation to one or more NGOs, and how it has or hasn’t affected the NGO’s work.

Introduction

In your module notes, you learned about William and how he learned about the importance of application security while developing software.  In this activity, you will analyze the organizational concerns of properly building security in the SDLC phases.

Instructions

Read the following:

UC Berkeley Secure Coding Practice Guide https://security.berkeley.edu/secure-coding-practice-guidelines
Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute https://www.sei.cmu.edu/
Bug Bounty Program https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/bug-bounty-program
Bug Bounty Program: Reduce Risk with Crowdsourced Security https://www.bugcrowd.com/resources/bug-bounty-program/
Next, review the six phases of the SDLC, and discuss which phase you feel would be the most costly to an organization as a result of neglecting security. What are common coding practices that are necessary for the phase you selected? How would a bug bounty program contribute to any of the phases of the SDLC?

In response to one another, select at least one of your peers who considered a different SDLC phase most costly to an organization. Discuss with one another why you might agree or disagree with their choice.

Specific Requirements and Directions:

Song: Self by No Name
Listen to it carefully many, many times, making note of what you notice about the melody(ies), rhythm, and texture. These three elements will be the foundation of your score, although you will add others as well.

Create symbols (lines, shapes, dots, whatever works for your understanding of the music) that you will use to denote pitch and rhythm. Also, create a way to indicate texture (each individual instrument or voice), and melody (every sound has a pitch; but some pitches strung together make a melody that your ear grasps and follows; a song can have more than one melody going on at once).

Once you have decided on your basic framework, add colors to symbolize aspects of the song that you think are important or interesting. Colors could be used to indicate timbre, mood, texture, consonance/dissonance, melody, etc. Please use at least two colors, although feel free to use more than two!

If you like, you could create a key for your scorea chart breaking down which symbols/colors you used to indicate which elements. Only do this if it seems like it would help you stay organized. If you do make a key, please turn it in along with the score and essay.

Create your score. You may use the template provided on the course website (print out the template, then draw your score by hand onto it). The template contains four rectangles with each rectangle representing 15 seconds of your one-minute excerpt. Please time stamp above each bar to indicate the section of music you are notating, e.g. 0:25-0:55. (Remember, you must use the version that is in my Spotify playlist)

You are welcome to use this template; but you are also welcome to envision a different way of notating your minute of music. If you want to come up with a different format for your scoreif you dont like the time-stamped rectangles of the provided templateplease feel free to do so! Any way you choose to realize your score is fine, so long as your score includes all the above requirements, is time-stamped in some way so that we can follow along, and you explain your choices clearly in your essay.

Write a short (minimum 2 pages, 12 pt. font, double spaced) essay explaining how the shapes, figures, and colors you chose to use in your score reflect the specific musical elements you heard in your selection. Be sure to refer to the Music Portfolio Project grading rubric (on Moodle) to make sure all criteria are met.

Email the whole thing to your TAyour score (if you did it by hand, take a picture of it or scan it), your essay, and a key if you made one.

Note: Feel free to be very creative with your score. You can be very free with this assignment, so long as we are able to follow your score, and youre able to clearly describe why you took the approach you took, and why you chose the symbols/colors/etc. you chose.
