Standardized-test score reporting error DQ
A. Consider this standardized-test score reporting error which resulted in many superintendents and teachers being fired, and many students being forced to attend summer school despite their mastery of the material tested. Suppose the test company had reported scores to the schools as significantly higher, rather than lower, than the correct scores. Do you think the schools would have questioned the scores? Do you think anyone would have discovered the error?
B. Put yourself in the shoes of the Australian couple discussed in class. How would you react if you realized that your bill was somehow getting paid and one of your attempts to pay it anyway was denied? What do you think the protocol should be for such situations?
C. Suppose you are on a consulting team to design a voting system for your state in which people can vote by logging on to a website. This might make voting more accessible: Robert Hamilton with Imperva security has said, “The number one
reason voters cite not going to the polls is they couldn’t get a ride.” Regarding online voting, what are some important design considerations? Discuss the pros and cons of e-voting. Overall, do you think it’s a good idea? Mention the 2016 US presidential election in your answer.

Additionally, the paper must address the capabilities and design of future attacks and the strategies we must develop to prevent or diminish the impact
