Advanced Accounting
Fabritius 201
Accounting is a precise, logical skill that is technical in nature and that involves the learning of terminology, the
application of complex procedures and the preparation of specifically formatted reports according to law (GAAP).
To be successful as a student of accounting must devote a significant amount of time outside of class on a regular
basis working problems and doing reading assignments. Assignment are long and detailed and must be completed
to gain full understanding. Successful completion of the course depends upon good planning, self-discipline and a
willingness to work hard. This dedication mirrors the work ethic require of accountants in the real world.
Text: Accounting; Warren, Reeve, and Duchac, 22th Edition (Same text used in many college courses)
Course Layout: 1st Semester – Chapters 1-10; 2nd Semester – 11-17
Homework: Each chapter will have assigned both problems and exercises. Some will be gone over in class, and
random assignments will be collected. Assignments for the year can be found on the following page (subject to
change)
Test: A test will follow each chapter.
Grading: Each assignment collected will be assigned 10 points. Test points will be based on the number of tasks,
length, and importance. For an overall grade, homework will count as 60 percent and tests as 40 percent. A
standard grading scale will be used for final grades. X8 and X9 will receive a + grade; X2, X1 will receive a –
grade.
Cheating, attendance, and all disciplinary actions will follow student handbook.
This course will very closely mirror Accounting 201 and 202 at South Puget Sound Community College. I expect
that for 10 credits of college courses that there will be some need for outside studying. I would encourage getting a
group together, taking advantage of http://www.swcollege.com/acct/warren/waren_acct_20e/warren.html, and
asking questions whenever necessary. I truly believe that there is a bright future in accounting for anybody who
chooses to explore it as a career.
