...On October 26th, 2015 I decided to bring an old paper from community college to the UCF Writing Center. I wanted to bring in an old paper in order to see how much I’ve improved since then, and how I can still improve my writing. The paper I brought was an extra credit assignment, which I honestly did not put much effort towards because it was for my math class. This allowed us to find many aspects of my writing that I could work on. Thanks to my consultation with my amazing consultant Julie, I learned that it’s not incredibly hard to write a good paper, even if I don’t enjoy the topic. I chose this service because it was a service I was already quite familiar with. At my old community college, Eastern Florida State College, the school had a very popular writing center that I was also required to attend by some of my professors. Although both writing centers were very similar, the UCF writing center left me with new tools in order to...

...These centers include writing, reading, dramatic play, painting, and puzzles. This week I was responsible for the writing center and my job was to supervise and manage the writing center. I was assigned a table and I needed to encourage children to participate in my center. I said “Hi, welcome to the writing center. Here in the writing center, we will be drawing pictures of our families like the family in Oonga Boonga (the book we previously read). Would you like to draw a picture of your family? During my time at the writing center, I witness something that I was not expecting. For instance, I was explaining to a group of children, including a particular boy name Evans that in the writing center we would be drawing a picture of our families. I showed them a drawing of my family and I explained to them each member in my family. Evans looked down at his paper and began to draw. I gave the children a few minutes to draw and then I tried to...

To end the war, a set of constitutional amendments known as "The Bill of Life" was passed. It satisfied both the Pro-life and the Pro-choice armies. The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of thirteen.

...Recommendations. o As your analysis results “solidify,” focus more and more on Writing a Good CAR and submitting by the Due Date! • Cases can contain more than 1 major “track” for their analysis, allowing for alternative versions of a CAR. So, do NOT simply imitate this Example CAR blindly for its “specific content.” Worse, DO NOT simply copy any of its parts. • Instead, use this Example CAR by way of “Reverse Engineering:” See how its contents arise logically if our Case Analysis Method (Guide) is applied to the Case. This will help you understand how our analysis method works! Then, use the same general analysis method (actually, the Approach) on the Case assigned for your CAR. • Don’t just imitate the pattern of alternative found here! Analyse and find out what alternatives make most sense in the particular Case you are working on. • No Case contains ALL the facts you want to know for its analysis. So, when analyzing Cases, be pragmatic! Do not worry about any facts beyond the Case (unless specifically instructed). Instead, conduct the “best possible” analysis using available Case-facts. • Leave Enough Time to Write a GOOD REPORT based on your findings. Carefully follow the Sectional Organization given in the Guide, as well as rules of Good Writing and Presentation! o In general, use full-sentences and paragraph format for all writing in the CAR. o Use Sub-headings, Indented...

...9-104-073 REV: APRIL 26, 2005 ROBERT S. KAPLAN Midwest Office Products John Malone, general manager of Midwest Office Products (MOP) was concerned about the financial results for calendar year 2003. Despite a sales increase from the prior year, the company had just suffered the first loss in its history (see summary income statement in Exhibit 1). Midwest Office Products was a regional distributor of office supplies to institutions and commercial businesses. It offered a comprehensive product line ranging from simple writing implements (such as pens, pencils, and markers) and fasteners to specialty paper for modern highspeed copiers and printers. MOP had an excellent reputation for customer service and responsiveness. Warehouse personnel at MOP’s distribution center unloaded truckload shipments of products from manufacturers, and moved the cartons into designated storage locations until customers requested the items. Each day, after customer orders had been received, MOP personnel drove forklift trucks around the warehouse to accumulate the cartons of items and prepare them for shipment. MOP ordered supplies from many different manufacturers. It priced products to its end-use customers by first marking up the purchased product cost by 16% to cover the cost of warehousing, order processing, and freight. Then it added another 6% markup to cover the general, selling, and administrative expenses, plus an allowance for profit. The markups were determined at the start of each...

As a company uniquely positioned to inform, empower, and inspire, Comcast embraces the opportunity to create conversation and mobilize action. They believe it's not just about moving the business forward; it's about moving people forward. Comcast has gone through many organizational changes and acquisitions like many global companies. Employees in the call centers feel that with all the changes made the company has lost sight of the employees’ wants and needs. Comcast has a great health benefits package, free cable service, employee engagement activities, incentives, perks and discounts with other companies, and a great financial benefits package. However employees are still unsatisfied because of the things they used to have such as Christmas parties, Christmas bonus, bigger productivity bonuses and a more laid back atmosphere. Employees in the billing department use to receive comp time off and received higher commissions. The Chicago Division Billing call center employees don’t feel that the company gets the input of the employees affected by these changes. With the change of these policies things they used to get commission on they no longer receive.
