This is especially true for the methods of instruction that involve problem solving and mathematical calculation. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: You are responsible for mastering the course content through reading the text, watching course presentations, participating in class discussion and exercises, completing assignments and projects, and passing quizzes and exams. COURSE PARTICIPATION AND DROP POLICY: Regular attendance and class participation is vital to successful completion of this course. Your presence online is expected and will be counted not by taking roll but by your timely and regular contribution to course activities. Participation in the course involves regularly logging into the course (at least 3-4 times per week if not daily), checking email, completing assignments, and contributing posts to classroom discussions. NONATTENDANCE DURING FIRST WEEK OF CLASS: Students are expected to log into CANVAS and complete the online orientation, including discussion board check-in no later than 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, August 22.

As in a face-to-face class, any student who has missed more than 6% of class time may be dropped for excessive absences in accordance with the college s policy. The instructor may drop a student for failure to meet the attendance requirement if the student does not complete the following by the due dates on the class schedule: Three graded chapter homework assignments Three graded interactive assignments Three chapter quizzes Three scored discussion posts Any combination of three: scored discussion posts, chapter homework assignments, graded interactive assignments, and chapter quizzes Two graded exams However, if you choose to drop the class you will need to follow the college s official procedure through eservices or Admissions. Failure to do so may result in a failing grade. 5

ASSIGNMENTS, ASSESSMENTS AND PRACTICE MATERIALS Much of your time will be spent reading the textbook and other materials, watching presentations, and assessing what you have learned. During the semester you will complete end of chapter homework, interactive presentations, and quizzes; take several exams; complete two projects; and contribute to class learning using the discussion board. Extra credit opportunities are very rare, but may be awarded at the instructor s discretion. READING AND TAKING NOTES The online classroom puts the student in charge of learning. Instead of going to lecture, you will be the one creating meaning; it will be up to you to read actively, learn from the text and other materials, and apply that knowledge to class activities and assessments. I also recommend going beyond highlighting the text: actively take notes, whether on separate paper or electronically. The goal is to have a handy record of your insights and learning. Most of the chapters in the textbook will be assigned in the course schedule. (Note: LearnSmart in Connect uses an ebook to help you review key points in the textbook and focus on areas to improve. EXAMS Five chapter exams and a comprehensive final exam are scheduled. Each and every exam is an individual effort that you must complete without help from anyone else. If, in the judgment of the instructor, you complete the exam with the help of another student or other unauthorized resources, you will receive no points for that exam. See the section below about academic integrity and ethics. Exams are timed and will be available from 5:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., as noted on the course schedule at the end of this syllabus. CHAPTER QUIZZES AND DISCUSSION POSTS: Quizzes and/or discussion posts are scheduled based on the assignments covering chapters 1 13. The guidance provided by the instructor will specify whether a quiz and/or discussion post will be required. Each quiz or discussion post will be due at 11:59 p.m. on the date shown on the course schedule. Chapter quizzes will be based on the chapter homework assignments. Each quiz is an individual effort that you must complete without help from anyone else. If, in the judgment of the instructor, you complete the quiz with the help of another student or other unauthorized resources, you will receive no points for that quiz. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. If you miss a quiz for any reason, that will be your dropped score. Because one quiz is dropped, no make-up attempts will be offered. Discussion posts will be made using the Discussion area in Canvas. Typically, a student will contribute one primary post in response to a question posed by the instructor. After your primary post is made you will have access to your classmates posts to contribute responses to your classmates. Discussion topics and requirements will be provided in CANVAS. 6

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS Thirteen end of chapter homework assignments, one per chapter, are scheduled covering Chapters 1 13. Assignments will be completed in Connect, and include Exercise/Problem Sets. Each assignment will be due at 11:59 p.m. on the date shown on the course schedule. The assignments will be graded using automatic, online grading. One lowest score will be dropped. If you miss an assignment for any reason, that will count as your dropped assignment. No late homework will be accepted, and no exceptions will be made to this policy. INTERACTIVE ASSIGNMENTS Thirteen interactive assignments, one per chapter, are scheduled covering Chapters 1 13. Interactive assignments will be completed in Connect, and include videos and assessment questions. Each assignment will be due at 11:59 p.m. on the date shown on the course schedule. The assignments will be graded using automatic, online grading. One lowest score will be dropped. If you miss an interactive assignment for any reason, that will count as your dropped assignment. No late interactive assignments will be accepted, and no exceptions will be made to this policy. **Your homework plays an important role in helping you practice course concepts, and is a large part of your responsibility as a student. Please make time for it, and don t procrastinate it will greatly affect how much you learn in this class** PROJECTS COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT #1: The accounting cycle project is due as indicated on the class schedule. The project will be graded on completeness and correctness. To complete the assignment, you will record transactions in a general journal, post them to a general ledger, prepare a trial balance, record and post adjusting entries, prepare an adjusted trial balance, and prepare financial statements. The project will be due at 11:59 p.m. on the date shown on the course schedule. PLEASE DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. Take advantage of the time allowed to complete the assignment. No late work will be accepted. ANNUAL REPORT PROJECT #2: The Project is due as indicated on the dates listed on the class schedule. You will be assigned a publicly held company to study and analyze. The project will be graded based on completeness, correctness and demonstrated comprehension of the annual report. PRACTICE MATERIALS Practice materials have been compiled by the instructor and are provided using Connect. These include practice end of chapter assignments, quizzes, exams, interactive presentations, and LearnSmart modules. Practice provides the opportunity to review the material, test your knowledge and rework items. The practice materials are highly recommended but optional and have no point value. 7

Practice exams are intended to provide students with an opportunity to understand the types of questions that will be asked on the related exam, and to practice for the exam by solving problems. LATE WORK/MAKE-UP POLICY The following late work policies were established to create an equitable, consistent learning environment for all students. All course assignments are due on the date and time scheduled. Please plan ahead and take advantage of the time allowed to complete the assignments. EXAMS: Make-up exams are extremely rare, however, one make-up exam per student per semester may be given to you if, in the instructor's judgment, circumstances warrant. A makeup exam will only be granted to students who contact the instructor immediately upon knowledge of such a need, and make arrangements to take the exam before it is graded and solutions are available. CHAPTER QUIZZES: Because one quiz score is dropped, no make-up quizzes will be offered. END OF CHAPTER ASSIGNMENTS AND INTERACTIVE ASSIGNMENTS: Because one of each score is dropped, no make-up end of chapter or interactive assignments will be offered. DISCUSSION BOARD POSTS AND PROJECTS. No make-up discussion board posts and/or projects will be offered. INTERNET CONNECTIVITY: You are expected to have reliable access to the internet, and a back-up plan in place in the event of an outage. Although rare, CANVAS and/or Connect may crash, become slow, or unavailable. Please plan accordingly for these type of scenarios: save your work frequently and submit your work at least 12 to 24 hours before it is due. Due date extensions will only be granted if the website in question (CANVAS or Connect) has a confirmed outage exceeding 12 hours. GRADING POLICY Your grades will be posted on the grades page in CANVAS on a regular basis. It is your responsibility to monitor your progress in the course. It is also your responsibility to drop the course if you decide you cannot complete it. If you do not drop the course, you will be awarded the grade you earned during the semester. Grades will be assigned based on points earned on assignments and assessments and are detailed in the course schedule at the end of this syllabus. A straight percentage grading scale will be used as listed in the schedule on the last page of this syllabus. 8

** Please take advantage of the many opportunities provided to earn points throughout the semester. No last minute assignments, extra-credit, or other deals will be offered to make up for missed assignments or low test scores.** COURSE SCHEDULE The course schedule which accompanies this syllabus outlines the content that will be covered in the course. Please consult it for an outline of topics, including the chapters to be covered, and due dates for assignments, projects, quizzes and exams. Changes to the course schedule will be announced in CANVAS. Please note that the course schedule represents the approximate schedule for the course, and the instructor may modify it if necessary. You are responsible for noting any changes that are communicated through the course website. PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT COURTESY TO OTHERS: During class discussions, you will likely encounter ideas that differ from your own. These are good opportunities to learn about different perspectives. You are encouraged to contribute your ideas freely, but please remember to show respect for your classmates. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated, including sexist or racist remarks, or harassment of any kind. If you engage in such activities, you will disrupt class, and may be locked out of the discussion boards for the week. Your failure to engage in respectful and academically appropriate behavior may result in you facing student misconduct charges in accordance with the district s Standards for Student Conduct. Any days spent in suspension from class are considered unexcused absences. ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT: Please remember to use spell-check and proofread before posting to CANVAS! DIVERSITY: This course honors the American River College core value of diversity. ARC is a community enriched by the experience of students, faculty, staff, and administrators from a variety of cultures, ethnic and economic backgrounds, ages and abilities. Your commitment to providing and nurturing a safe environment for the free exchanges of ideas with sensitivity, civility and mutual respect is essential. Please keep this in mind in all your interactions. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Integrity is an essential characteristic in the accounting profession. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in this course. I encourage you to work with other students to establish study groups, and to review textbook chapters, notes, solutions to homework problems, and study for quizzes and exams. 9

Every student is required to do their own assignments, quizzes and exams. Any copying or duplicate printing of any part of any assignment from other students or any other source is expressly forbidden. Other dishonest actions include, but are not limited to, falsifying information, and giving or receiving information about an exam or assignment from the internet or to/from other students in your class or other sections of the course. The first assignment or other task that violates this policy will receive an instructor warning, grade of zero points and may result in a referral to the Dean of Business and Computer Science. A second violation will result in failing the class and /or other penalties as deemed appropriate by the Dean and the College Disciplinary Officer. These penalties also apply to students who allow their work to be copied.
