Some Recommendations on How to Get Started

Start your reading now so that it is not rushed at the end. From here on, you will have less Labs work on a weekly basis so that you can work on your Mini-Project and this Research Paper.

Wait for Week 7 — and Topic T13 Management, Governance, and Data Security — before you do the final, serious writing, because in that week we cover Data Security and Privacy in some detail.

You could have (and probably should have) Section Headers to help organize your researched information and your comments on that research into groups of paragraphs (i.e., more than one paragraph for each section) such as (but please choose your own sections):

Introduction

Securing Data / Securing Big Data

Privacy – Who Owns Your Data?

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU

Privacy of Data in the USA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), 2020

Data Mined from Social Media

Current Issues in Data Security & Privacy – I am sure you can think of a few

The Ethics of Working with Big Data … [required section]

Conclusions & Future Study

You do not need these particular sections (choose your own), nor as many, Reme,ber that it is your Research Paper and thus I want to give you flexibility. Only the Ethics section is required.
