Provide answers to three of the following questions based on your readings and your personal experiences. Answers should be 100-to 150-words each. 1. If you find errors on your credit report, what steps would you take to correct them? 1. Tell the credit reporting company, in writing, what information you think is inaccurate. Credit reporting companies must investigate the items in question — usually within 30 days — unless they consider your dispute frivolous. They also must forward all the relevant data you provide about the inaccuracy to the organization that provided the information. After the information provider receives notice of a dispute from the credit reporting company, it must investigate, review the relevant information, and report the results back to the credit reporting company. 2. Tell the creditor or other information provider in writing that you dispute an item. Many providers specify an address for disputes. If the provider reports the item to a credit reporting company, it must include a notice of your dispute. And if you are correct — that is, if the information is found to be inaccurate — the information provider may not report it again. If an investigation doesn’t resolve your dispute with the credit reporting company...

...Current Business Practices Audit Kimberly Johnson, Richard Siemienczuk, Karen Graham, and Chad Smestad MGT/360 December 3, 2012 Vicki Bauer Current Business Practices Audit The learning team conducted an audit of Riordan Manufacturing’s current business practices at its processing plants located in California, Georgia, Michigan, and China. The business sustainability worksheets used to complete the evaluation aided the team in locating common areas of non-sustainable practices relating to land, water, and air pollution. The three non-sustainable practices evaluated further are solid waste, and hazardous waste causing land pollution, hazardous waste causing water pollution, and gaseous waste causing air pollution. These areas are the most harmful to the immediate population, which includes the plant workers and the communities. Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Causing Land Pollution One of the non-sustainable practices is adding to land pollution. Currently, off-spec materials are sent to the landfill (Apollo, 2012). In addition to this, scrap plastic managed as waste goes to the landfill (Apollo). The biggest problem is that plastic is not biodegradable. When plastic and off-spec products are sent to the landfill, breakdown occurs but at minimal rates and these take longer to biodegrade over time. To remain compliant with government regulations, Riordan Manufacturing is required to identify hazardous waste generated each month if it exceeds 2,200 pounds (Apollo...

If so, what was it? Why were you surprised? If not, why not? I really didn’t find anything in the University of Phoenix Student Code Of Conduct that surprised me. All the information in the Code of conduct we find in everyday life. We apply it in the workplace and how we treat people on a daily. I did learn some things in the Student Code of Academic Integrity that surprised me. I was not aware that you could plagiarize your own work. I have always thought that plagiarism was taking someone else work and saying it’s yours. Student Code of Conduct is implemented to keep us safe and provide us with a safe environment for us to learn in. When we were all young our parents raised us with the value and respect on how to treat people. My parents always said treat others as you would want to be treated. I feel it’s the same aspect. • What did you learn about the behaviors considered important for an ethical learner or student in the University of Phoenix learning community? I have learned that we should never judge a book by its cover; everyone is different and has different views. We should be open minded and sensitive to others. It’s important that we respect others in their privacy...
