Intermediate Accounting I is a required course in the undergraduate program and critical for the accounting students academic success. The course primarily relates to the undergraduate accounting program s learning objective of conveying functional knowledge of financial accounting. In some instances, problems and assignments relate to promoting ethical awareness. Its content directly relates to the School of Business learning objective concerning quantitative fluency as the assignments and problems are predominately quantitative relating to financial transactions in the context of audited financial statements and the financial position of reporting entities. Grade Policy: Your course grade will be determined by the total points earned from the following: Exam #1 (100 points): Chapters 1 and 2 Exam #2 (100 points): Chapters 3 and 4 Exam #3 (100 points): Chapters 5, 6 and 7 Exam #4 (100 points): Chapters 8 and 9 Exam #5 (100 points): Chapters 10, 11 and 12 Homework, Quizzes, and Other Assignments (points to be determined) The student's final course grade will be determined by dividing the total points earned by total points possible with the following grading scale applied: A = =92% C =72% A- =90% C- =70% B+ =87% D+ =67% B =82% D =62% B- =80% D- =60% C+ =77% F =Below 60% Examinations- All examinations will be in class. Academic Integrity- Cheating or plagiarism in any form will result in a failing grade for the course. Each student must adhere to the College of Charleston Honor Code and Code of Student Conduct (see Student Handbook on these policies). Attendance Policy- Attendance in this course is mandatory. Examinations and assigned materials will require attendance of all classroom lectures. Make-up examinations are not given. Late assignments are not accepted. If you are to be absent, assignments must be submitted prior to the due date. Any student who misses more than two classes may receive a failing grade for the course and/or will be administratively dropped from the roll.

3 3 In extreme cases exceptions to the absence policy may be made on an individual (case-bycase) basis. These exceptions will only be considered with appropriate documentation requested by the professor and a letter from the Dean of Students. However, I will not give a make up exam under any circumstance. If a student misses an exam with documentation that is deemed extreme (serious illness, death, hospitalization, etc.), the grade of the lowest test score for the semester will be substituted for the missed exam. This exception will only be made in extreme circumstances with proper documentation and my approval. This is why it is important that you maximize your performance on each exam. Policy on Cell Phones, Laptops and PDA Devices The use of all PDA devices, including cell phones and laptop computers are expressly forbidden in the classroom. Texting, receiving or sending messages, cell phone use, or the use of laptop computers will result in immediate dismissal from the lecture with an absence recorded. Also, for each violation of this policy, the penalty will be a reduction of the student s final grade by one letter grade. (For example if you violate this policy, this means that if you have earned a B for the course, you will be assigned a C for the course. If you earn a C+ for the course, you will be assigned a D+ for the course, etc.) Furthermore, students who violate this policy will automatically lose the benefit of any curve given during the semester and their grade will be reduced by one letter grade after the curve has been taken away. Students must keep these devices turned off and out of sight during class. It is a violation of this policy to keep such devices on your lap. On the first violation, the student will have assigned seating for the rest of the semester. This policy includes all other violations of student conduct including engaging in individual discussions during the lecture. Other Policies: 1. Recording class lecture or discussion is strictly prohibited. Under no circumstance is permissible to record lectures. Therefore, cell phones, IPads, and similar devices must be powered off and put away BEFORE class. 2. You should not walk in late for class. If unavoidable circumstances warrant you being late, please come in quietly and take a seat. 3. Please familiarize yourself with the College s Student Code of Conduct as you are bound by those rules in this course. Rude and disruptive behavior, sleeping, texting, and talking during the lecture are prohibited and I reserve the right to dismiss you from the course permanently if I deem your breech of the Code of Conduct severe. 4. Students must complete all assigned material before coming to class. I reserve the right to not address questions or comments by those not doing the assigned work prior to class. This is consistent with the College of Charleston Classroom Code of Conduct (see Student Handbook, page 51). 5. The College of Charleston complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you need accommodation for any disability, please let me know at the beginning of the semester so that I can help you. 6. I reserve the right to amend this syllabus as circumstances warrant.
