Academic Dishonesty

Academic dishonesty refers to any type of cheating, dishonest, or fraudulent behavior that occurs in an

academic setting, such as a school, college, or university. Examples of academic dishonesty include
plagiarism, cheating on exams, fabrication or falsification of data, unauthorized collaboration, and

submitting work completed by others as one's own.

Cheating on exams is another form of academic dishonesty, and it can involve activities such as copying
from another student's paper, using unauthorized materials during the exam, or collaborating with other

students during the exam.

Overall, academic dishonesty undermines the integrity of the academic process and can have serious
consequences for both the individual student and the academic institution. Most academic institutions

have strict policies and penalties in place for academic dishonesty, ranging from failing a course or

assignment to suspension or expulsion from the institution.

Fragmentation
Defragmentation

Journaling

Fragmentation is what occurs when a file is saved to a hard drive but

there is not enough contiguous space available to save the entire file in
one piece. The file gets saved in fragments on other parts of the hard

drive.

Defragmentation is a utility that helps rearrange the files on the hard

drive to optimize performance.

Journaling logs all file system changes before they are written to the

hard drive

4.0 Programming

ANSWER:

A sequence of instructions that defines the input,

processing, and output.

This describes the basic structure of a program.

In programming, a sequence of instructions is used to define the steps that a
program takes to process the input data and produce the desired output. This
sequence typically includes statements or commands that manipulate data,
perform calculations, make decisions, and control the flow of the program.

A list of subroutines used by a compiler.

A list of steps written in pseudocode.

A graphical representation of the program processes.

A list of subroutines used by a compiler is known as a library. These are
pre-written code modules that are used to perform common functions.

A list of steps written in pseudocode can be an algorithm. An algorithm

is a set of rules to be followed in order to solve a problem. Algorithms

can be written in natural language, flowcharts, or pseudocode.

A graphical representation of the program process is known as a

flowchart.

Which of the following can be configured at the border
of your network to control the flow of network traffic

and protect systems from unauthorized network

connections? (Select two.)

Multiple Select

Which of the following can be configured at the border of your network to control the flow of network traffic and protect systems from unauthorized network connections? (Select two.)

• Host firewalls

• Network firewalls

• Anti-malware software

• Windows Defender

• Proxy servers

6.0 Security

ANSWER:

Network Firewalls, Proxy Server

This question specifically asks what can configured for the border of your

network.

Network Firewalls are more effective than host firewalls and they are at the
border of your network. With network firewalls, you get centralized control,
protection for all hosts on your network, and advanced filtering capabilities.

A proxy server can serve as an intermediary between devices on the

network and the internet. When a device requests access to a website, the

request is sent to a proxy server instead of the internet.

Host firewall

Anti-malware software

Windows Defender

A host firewall is usually configured on an

individual host. It is not considered the

border of your network.

Anti-malware software is designed to

scan incoming traffic for malware, block

known threats, and alert admins to

security risks.

Windows Defender is another antivirus
and anti-malware software that comes

with Windows.

Anti-malware software and applications
do not control the flow of network traffic
and unauthorized network connections
