2 CLASS PROCEDURES: Classroom instruction will consist of lecture, discussion, problem solving and use of supplemental materials/resources to reinforce concepts covered in class. Students are expected to read each chapter prior to that chapter being discussed in class. This will allow for classroom discussions and provide students with information that will be necessary for completing in-class and homework assignments. Quizzes will be administered to periodically test student understanding of the text readings. After introduction of the information in each new chapter, problems will be completed during class so that students can apply concepts covered in the reading. Completion of problems in the class will also provide students an opportunity to ask questions and get assistance from the instructor. Homework problems will be assigned to provide students with a chance to independently apply what they are learning. Homework problems will be reviewed in class and certain problems will be selected for graded assessment. Class time will be spent on problem solving and dissemination of information required for classroom learning. Any concern that a student may have with the class should be addressed during a scheduled meeting with the instructor during office hours or other appointed time. Cell phones are to be in silent mode or off and texting is not permitted. Failure to comply may result in a reduction of your grade. Those who are late or disruptive may be required to leave. Leaving the classroom during a quiz or exam is generally NOT permitted. However, I will permit students to leave in case of an emergency such as sudden sickness or need to use the restroom. In these cases, cell phones, other devices, text and notes must be left in the classroom. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Cheating, plagiarism, copying another student s homework, use of unauthorized materials in class, divulging information regarding examinations and other forms of academic dishonesty will be handled as noted in the Undergraduate Catalog. Refer to the College s Academic Integrity Policy (AIP) found on pages of the Undergraduate Catalog for examples of academic dishonesty and the consequences of engaging in such activities. Any suspected violation of the AIP will be taken extremely seriously. If I determine that the AIP has been violated, I will notify the student of the academic consequence and will refer the violation to the Academic Affairs office for review and disciplinary action. ATTENDANCE: In this course, attendance is required and is also necessary to achieve academic success. Regular attendance in class allows for in-depth discussion of accounting concepts with the instructor and classmates, guided practice in the completion of in-class problems and review of homework assignments all of which serve to enhance and reinforce student learning. Attendance is, therefore, expected at all regularly scheduled classes. The grading for the course contains an attendance/participation component worth 40 points. Those students who have 3 or fewer absences will maintain this grade. After 3 unexcused absences, 10 points will be deducted from your grade for each absence. Accumulating more than 7 unexcused absences may result in further reduction to your course grade. An excused absence, as defined by the Class Attendance and Excused Absences policy found on pages 55 of the Undergraduate Catalog, will not count as an absence for purposes of determining your attendance grade. However, for the absence to be considered excused, written notification must be received prior to the class. is an acceptable form of communication. Written verification may be requested by the instructor to validate an absence as excused. The instructor withholds the right to determine whether an absence will be considered excused or not. Students are expected to agree to a learning contract as part of this class. 10 points will be deducted from your grade should the learning contract not be returned by the 3 rd scheduled class.

3 ACC 202 (03) Spring 2019 METHODS OF ASSESSMENT Student mastery of the course s learning outcomes will be measured utilizing methods listed below. HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: Each assignment should be completed prior to the class in which it is to be covered. Unless instructed otherwise, assignments must be submitted via the Dropbox function of the Desire2Learn system. Failure to do so may result in partial or zero credit for the assignment. Late assignments may receive partial credit at the discretion of the instructor. However, late assignments will not be accepted once the exam for the related unit has been administered. It is vital that the homework assignments be completed as they reinforce concepts covered in class. In addition, ongoing evaluation of these assignments serves as a form of continual assessment that will enable the instructor and student to diagnose areas of strength & weakness in terms of understanding the course content. Evaluation of homework assignments will be conducted by the student, the instructor and peers. QUIZZES: Quizzes will occur throughout the term. The number of quizzes will depend on the level of preparedness the class demonstrates and will be at the instructor s discretion. Quizzes serve as an important assessment tool that will be used by the instructor to evaluate student learning. However, students should also use the quizzes to self-evaluate their learning. The policy for make-up quizzes will follow the same policy as exams. Please read the Testing section of the syllabus for details. TESTING: All exams and quizzes are required. While the information covered in each chapter builds upon knowledge learned in previous chapters, only information presented since the prior exam will be tested. The testing format will consist of multiple choice, short answer, problem solving and essay. Each test will be comprised of some but not necessarily all these components. As a rule, there will be no make-up exams. However, in certain situations a legitimate request may be granted. Requests may be granted if they meet the criteria for excused class absences and absences from exams as defined by the Class Attendance and Excused Absences Policy found in the Undergraduate Catalog. Feeling under the weather, worn down or being very busy do not qualify as acceptable excuses for missing class. A written request must be submitted prior to the time of the exam. constitutes an acceptable method of written notification. The make-up exam must be taken before the regular test is returned to the class for review and it is up to the student to contact the instructor to plan to take the make-up exam. Failure to follow these procedures will result in the missed exam being assigned a 0 grade. FINAL EXAM: There will be a comprehensive final exam in this course. The final exam will be approximately 21% of the course grade. The exam may utilize one or several of the following testing formats: multiple choice, short answer, problem solving and essay. The final exam will take place in TC315 on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 8:00 am GRADING: Students will have the opportunity to earn points on exams, quizzes, assignments, class discussion, etc. At any point during the term, your average can be calculated by dividing the number of points you have earned by the total possible points. Extra credit will NOT be available for this class. Grades may be calculated on a curved grading scale, however, do not expect this to be the case. The decision to implement a curved grading scale will not be made until the end of the term. Understand that your grade and whether a curve adjustment is utilized are at the discretion of the instructor. A 92% C < 78 73% A- < 92 90% C- < 73 70% B+ < 90 88% D+ < 70 68% B < 88 83% D < 68 63% B- < 83 80% D- < 63 60% C+ < 80 78% F < 60% Note: Please remember that you need to obtain a minimum grade of a C for this course to satisfy a major or minor requirement.
