There are two main goals for the assignment. The first is to demonstrate your understanding of some of

the terms used in “Critical Thinking”. The second goal is to undertake research with correct referencing.

Tasks:

• Carefully read all of the questions

• Provide answers to all four questions in a word processed document. Use the marking criteria

for each question as a guide.

• Submit your assignment in the assignment submission tool available in Moodle (Week 7). Late

(Note: The assignment is marked out of 30 marks but is worth 15 marks i.e. 15%)

Question 1 [10 marks]

Choose any two of the following terms. For each of your chosen terms find three sources that provide

information about the term and create a single definition from those sources. Also provide an example

preferably from IT systems development. Each definition with example should be no more than 200

words. (Note: Do not use Wikipedia, blogs or your prescribed text as your source).

• Analogy

• Divide & Conquer

• Means-‐Ends Analysis

• Morphological Analysis

• Root Cause Analysis

The Harvard style of referencing is to be used. For more information refer to Deakin guide to referencing

at http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-‐support/referencing

Marking Guide for Question 1

• Appropriate sources selected

• Sources correctly referenced and in Harvard style

• Paraphrasing done well

• Examples provide appropriate information for the chosen terms

Question 2 [10 Marks]

Read the adapted and heavily edited excerpt from the article below and identify all of the statements,

claims and arguments presented.

You should answer this question using a table like the one shown below. Column 1 indicates whether

you have identified a statement, claim or argument. [Note: Only identify a statement as a statement if it

is not a claim or argument].

Column 2 contains the text of that statement, claim or argument. Use the colour-‐coding as shown in the

table and keep the order of the text in Column 2 the same as the actual text of the article.

Type Text

Claim She swiftly glued a canary yellow certificate on my windscreen

Issue Did she quickly glue the canary yellow certificate on my windscreen?

Statement How you going, mate?

Argument

Premise/Conclusion

My car was on high-‐beam because there was something wrong with the

dip-‐switch

GOOGLE'S SELF-DRIVING CAR SYSTEM

by Dave Lee 10 February 2016

Google's self-‐driving car system could soon be given

the same legal definition as a human driver, paving

the way for vehicles without steering wheels or

pedals.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) -‐ which sets rules and

regulations on America's roads -‐ shared its thoughts

in a letter to Google made public this week.

Until now, any car without a human driver would not

be considered roadworthy, since they are not

considered as safe. However, in light of technological

advancements, the NHTSA has changed its

perspective. This is because updating with

technology sounds necessary.

In this instance, an item of motor vehicle equipment,

the Self-‐Driving System, is actually driving the

vehicle. Who knows! As it depends on technology,

no one knows what would be the outcome. Wait for

the future.
