Each of you are expected
to contribute a minimum of two (2) meaningful responses to the general
discussion per day on at least five (5) out of the seven (7) days of each
seminar. Your responses can be in the form of comments ("nice job" does
not count as meaningful); adding further questions for discussion, or references
to materials relating to the current seminar topics. Your responses may
also be in regard to journal entries other members of the class have uploaded
to each seminar or to articles you have read, or experiences you wish to
share that pertain to the current week's topic. THIS LAST ITEM IS VERY
IMPORTANT AS YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE UNIQUE. BY SHARING THEM WITH OTHER MEMBERS
OF THE CLASS WE ALL GAIN FROM EXPERIENCES THAT WE MIGHT NEVER HAVE LEARNED.
Responses to Chapter Questions:
Answer all Chapter questions.
The responses should be sent to the Instructor's Digital Drop Box by the
due dates. There is no minimum length required for the lecture question
responses. However, I do expect that your responses will demonstrate an
understanding of the text and lecture material presented. Answers should
clearly identify which question is being addressed

Using Text web
site select one activity from Chapter. Access the Internet sites and respond
to the question. The responses should be sent
to the Instructor's Digital Drop Box by the due dates.
Please include in your submission of the response the unit and question
number.
Journal Entries:
You will prepare a journal
throughout this course. You will send it to the appropriate Discusion Board
by the due dates. Journal entries for each seminar should relate to how
the concepts of the course relate to a past or present workplace you have
experienced. Comment on your experience with the topics covered during
each week. You must demonstrate that you have thought through the issues
and can propose solutions, or have developed insights, in keeping with
the discussions in the VC.
Case Analysis:
Cases are located at the
end of each chapter. One will be assigned to your group meeting. Please
send completed case analyses to the Instructor's Digital Drop Box after
a complete discussion in your group meeting by the due dates. CASE ANALYSIS
FOR THIS COURSE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ANWERING ALL THE QUESTIONS WHICH FOLLOW
THE CASE. Please begin your analysis by designating which chapter and case
you are analyzing. Then, label each question as to its number.
WWW Research Exercise:
Reports (two) on current
pertinent accounting articles found in the
text web site under Current Events
500 words of review and view format of the
article
Proper MLA citation
Reports must be sent to the Instructor's Digital

Exams are found in the Assignment area (They can be completed once and have a 30 minute time limit)
Expect a substantial amount of work for this class this semester.
Assignments will be graded as to CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, and TIMELINESS. Quality of work turned in must be in a professional and business-like manner.
Plagiarism and cheating WILL NOT be tolerated. Any student found guilty of either will AUTOMATICALLY receive a failing grade!
An "I" grade is given only when a small portion of the course work is required to be completed. Student must have attended the first seven weeks of the semester. If the work is not completed by the end of the following semester, class grade will be computed with the incomplete course work as 0%. This MUST be discussed with the professor.
Students who OFFICIALLY withdraw during the first 3/4 of the semester shall receive a "W" grade. Students may NOT officially withdraw during the last 1/4 of the semester, but will be given their earned grade.
