 TRUE/FALSE
             1.         An increase in the depreciation rate affects the steady-state capital per worker the same way as an increase in the population growth rate.
              2.         If the saving rate increases, then the optimum level of capital per worker falls.
              3.         An increase in technology causes the optimum level of capital per worker to rise in the long run or steady state.
              4.         An increase in technology causes the real GDP per worker to increase during the transition to the steady-state.
              5.         An increase in technology cause the growth in real output per worker to be higher in the long run or steady-state.
              6.         An increase in the saving rate causes the growth in real output per worker to be lower in the long run or steady-state.

Case Study 2: Design Process
Due Week 4 and worth 90 points
You have recently started your own software design company. You discover that your local DMV is looking to build a system that will allow receptionists to check customers in quickly. They would like for the system to allow customers to self-check-in during busy times, but have receptionists check customers in the rest of the time. Your company puts a bid in for the project and wins.
Read the article located at http://www.bcs.org/upload/pdf/ewic_hc07_lppaper18.pdf.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1.  Suggest the prototyping technique you would use for this system and support your rationale.
2.  Create a management plan containing eight to ten (8-10) stages for proper design of such a system.
3.  Explain each stage of the management plan and justify your rationale.
4.  Estimate the length of time it will take to complete each stage of the management plan.
5.  Compare and contrast the self-check-in interface with the interface a receptionist would use.
6.  Use Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative, Dia, to create a total of two (2) graphical representations of your proposed interfaces, one (1) for the self-check-in and one (1) for the receptionist. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
7.  Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
                             Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
                             Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
                             Include charts or diagrams created in Excel, Visio, MS Project, or one of their equivalents such as Open Project, Dia, and OpenOffice. The completed diagrams/charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Assignment 2: Requirements
Due Week 4 and worth 60 points
In a previous assignment you were tasked to develop a Web-based student registration system. This Web-based system allows students to register for classes, authenticate their credentials, and select classes for which they are eligible to register. It also registers the students, prints a confirmation receipt, and prepares a registration invoice. You created a project plan proposal to senior management and they liked it, giving you the green light to start with the project. Now, it is time to define what the student registration system should do.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
1.  Select a requirement specification technique that you would use to state the requirements of this software system and explain the reasons for the selection.
2.  Specify the requirements for registering a student for a class based on the selected technique. You can make any assumptions that you need to complete the specification as long as you state them clearly in the response.
3.  Create the necessary diagrams through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia that illustrates and complements the specification. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
4.  Write a validation and verification plan to validate and verify the requirement.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
                             Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
                             Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
                             Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted. 
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
                             Describe the different types of requirements that include abstraction and modeling techniques.
                             Use technology and information resources to research issues in software engineering.
