Your report should have correct grammar and spelling: Well supported Arguments; Cite all reference sources (3 marks). Submission Format: There is no report template for this assignment. However, the report should be well presented in a standard report format (refer to online resources) and you must make use of adequate in-text references throughout your entire report. The report should be a minimum of 2000 words. Be creative in how you chose to communicate your findings. The report does not have to be a large collection of paraphrased text. Diagrams and tables are much more effective ways of communicating an idea or concept. The first page of the report should have your name, student ID, ISYS1002 Assignment 2, and the date you submit your assignment. When you have completed the assignment, you are required to submit your assignment in PDF/DOC format. The file will be named using the following convention: Filename= FirstinitialYourLastName_ISYS1002_A2.pdf (i.e. Falaei ISYS1002_A2.pdf) Marking Criteria: The rubric for this assignment is available on the MySCU site and will give the criteria for marking. The difference between a "Pass" and higher grades will be based on how much you look at the whole Task 1: The university is currently using a password- based authentication system to control user access to the university's information system.
