Assignment: For this assignment you will be asked to choose ONE out of four case-studies and write a case-study analysis of it. Your analysis should be 1200 words (+/- 10%) long (excluding the Reference List). You must paraphrase the case study and remember to reference the case study itself in the reference list. The below case-studies will be posted under Modules under the heading ›ASSIGNMENT 4: Case Study‹ 78 hours before the submission date on 16 December at 16:00, London time. Tesla Musk Fitbit Uber For each case study, there will be an accompanying file containing discussion points that you should read carefully. Analyzing a case-study involves becoming familiar with the scenario it is dealing with. It involves thinking about the problems and challenges the company/person is dealing with and thinking carefully about recommendations, strategies and solutions that might help. Having a real interest in or prior knowledge of one of the companies/ people under discussion helps, as it brings more depth to your analysis. More information on how to analyze a case-study can be found in the guidelines below. Guidelines on how to write a case-study analysis: (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Precise grading rubrics and formatting guidelines for this assignment plus an example case study are posted under Modules, week 14, class 1. The deadline for submitting your essay is Saturday, 19 December at 23:59, London time. What is a Case Study? “A case study analysis requires you to investigate a business problem, examine the alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supportive evidence. A case study should include background information on the specific topic, an analysis of the case under study showing problems or effective strategies, as well as recommendations. A case study can focus on a business or entire industry, a specific project or program, or a person.” From Writing a Case-Study Analysis.

Option 1: This assignment allows you to think through how data gathering and surveillance functions in your own life. This will allow you to make more conscious and deliberate decisions about how much you want to be tracked and to what extent you want to protect your data. We will use the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Surveillance Self-Defense Guide to do this. You can find the full resource here: https://ssd.eff.org/en  (Links to an external site.)  (Much of the information is targeted towards high-risk individuals like journalists and activists.)  First, research what your vulnerabilities might be and/or what tracking and privacy practices you might be opting into without know.

You are also free find your own resources beyond what is required above. Based on your reading and research, identify three changes that you could make to give you better control over your data and privacy. What they are will depend on what you are doing already. It could range from basic privacy setting to fully encrypted anonymous communication. Your paper should: Detail the three changes you could make. Explain what you are doing now and what the potential problem is with that practice/setting/etc. Explain what you could change to mitigate this risk/vulnerability/privacy risk/etc. Indicate whether you intend to make this change and why or why not. Cite the above EFF or other equivalent resources in your discussion of each possible change.
