who has the best chance of getting out of the contract due to unconsionability?

Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Discussion 2

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)

 

Read the Ace Heating and Cooling scenario in your text and answer the   following questions:
a.    Under UCC 2-302, who has the best chance of getting out   of the contract due to unconsionability?
b.    The symbol for justice features a woman wearing a   blindfold illustrating that the law should be applied the same way regardless   of who the parties are. Does the UCC rule seem to contradict this? Which   approach do you think is more ethical?
c.    Note that both Glamour and Shady Rest are businesses,   and courts rarely find that contracts between two businesses are   unconscionable. The rationale is that a business is a sophisticated entity,   familiar with transactions and able to protect itself. Do you think Glamour   and Shady Rest are in a comparable position in regard to this contract? Why   or why not?
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates, explaining your   position and why you agree or disagree with their comments. Do you think the   contracts are fair or unfair considering the parties had a disproportionate   ability to bargain? Under UCC Section 2-302 the court has the discretion to   find the contract unconscionable. Do you think this is a good approach? What   other methods to resolve this issue is appropriate?

Ashford 4: – Week 3 – Assignment

Determine the Quality of Information

As mentioned previously, at the end of this course, you will create an “Annotated Bibliography” Final Paper on a topic within your major field of study. This week, you will begin to evaluate websites related to your research question. The websites you evaluate may be used in your Final Paper in Week Five. First, watch the video below to understand the process.

Read the handout Evaluating Information – Applying the CRAAP Test and view Google Inside Search: All Tips & Tricks before completing this assignment.

Now that you have a basic understanding of what the Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose (CRAAP) Test is and how to effectively search for information online, it is time to apply this method to the evaluation of web sources. In this assignment, you are tasked with locating three websites that will help you answer your research question. Two of these websites must pass all five criteria of the CRAAP Test.

Using the                     Determine the Quality of Information Worksheet, you will apply the elements of the CRAAP test to your chosen websites. You are expected to provide a brief evaluation of how each website met or did not meet the requirements of the CRAAP Test, as directed in the worksheet. You will also reflect on the differences you found between the two websites that passed the CRAAP Test and the one that did not. Download the worksheet to your computer and save it in an easy to find location. You will then complete the worksheet based on your research and evaluation of websites, saving your final work.

View this   Determine the Quality of Information Worksheet (Example) to guide you as you complete this assignment.

Once you have completed the Determine the Quality of Information Worksheet, submit the completed worksheet through the Assignment Submission button in the online classroom.

 

In this class, you have three   tutoring services available: Paper Review, Live Chat, and Tutor E-mail.   Click on the Ashford Writing Center (AWC) tab in the left-navigation menu to   learn more about these tutoring options and how to get help with your   writing.
