About Moser College The Moser College of Adult & Professional Studies delivers its curricular programs in a specifically designed structure deliberately oriented for working, adult learners. The Moser College is committed to providing a learning environment which extends beyond the classroom and is designed specifically to meet the needs of its students and their employers by bringing a quality educational experience without requiring the student to relocate or travel extensively beyond their home area. Benedictine University's Moser College of Adult & Professional Studies is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools*. * http://www.ben.edu/academic_programs/moser/about/index.cfm About Blended Learning Blended learning is the integration of different learning environments: mainly the online format with the face-to-face format, but may also include mobile learning. Blended learning, also referred to as hybrid learning, relies on both the advantages of digital/technology innovation and the methods of face-toface instruction. At Moser College, we use blended learning by combining asynchronous online classroom sessions with a face-to-face classroom environment. We alternate between the online session and the face-to-face session in 5-week courses, with the A session being face-to-face and the B session being online. hallmarks of a Benedictine Education: home about expectations resources course overview learning outcomes IDEA schedule & sessions Love of Christ and Neighbor Prayer Stability Conversatio Obedience Discipline Humility Stewardship Hospitality Community 3 About ACCT 112 Managerial Accounting The Ten Hallmarks of a Benedictine Education A Benedictine Education Based on the Rules of Saint Benedict, a Benedictine Education is based on the Benedictine Wisdom Tradition that sets as its goals the transformation of the Human mind AND Heart and has at its foundation “The Ten Hallmarks of a Benedictine Education”.

Attendance Policy Students may not miss more than 25% of the live classroom sessions. Doing so will result in an F for the course. financial aid information Submission of Work All assignments are to be submitted into Desire 2 Learn (D2L) unless otherwise noted by instructor. Assignments must be submitted by due date. Any assigned work submitted late for any unexcused reason will receive a lowered grade. Please refer to your instructor’s late work policy located in D2L. In the event that you miss an examination for due cause, arrangements must be made with the instructor for a make-up examination. Important criteria concerning the submission of work: • Make-up examinations may differ from the original class examination. • Per University policy, assignments cannot be accepted by an instructor after the last day of the course. • Only discussions threads posted by 11:59 pm CST on the due date will count for grading purposes. information concerning netiquette: home about expectations resources course overview learning outcomes IDEA schedule & sessions Love of Christ and Neighbor Prayer Stability Conversatio Obedience Discipline Humility Stewardship Hospitality Community 5 Expectations ACCT 112 Managerial Accounting About Netiquette What is Netiquette? "Netiquette" stands for "Internet Etiquette", and refers to the set of practices which help to make the online experiences pleasant for all involved. As you might expect, netiquette, like other forms of etiquette, is about courtesy, manners, codes of behavior, protocols and respect. Netiquette primarily focuses on how we interact with one another online, by being aware of: our use of language, others’ cultural background, conventional norms, and other behaviors. Below you will find guidelines concerning the basics of online interaction. If it isn’t something you would say or do in the face-to-face classroom, it is probably inappropriate in the online class as well. Netiquette Basics 1. Follow the Golden Rule (“One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”) 2. Be ethical, fair, tolerant and mindful of others – avoid stereotyping, judgment and prejudice 3. Know the boundaries of particular cyberspaces – what is acceptable in a text or chatroom with friends may not be appropriate in a classroom or in an online conversation with an instructor 4. Respect the time of others by: 1) using descriptive subject lines, 2) resizing images for the web, 3) providing links instead of copying and pasting content, 5) using white space by inserting blank lines between paragraphs and headers and 6) limiting your use of attachments 5. Copy the minimum number of people – it is tempting to send “email” or “message blasts” because it is easier for the poster, but it is not easier for the reader Inappropriate Online Usage 1. Avoid “flaming” – flaming is sending offensive, insulting or criticizing messages. This happens more often online then in face-to-face interaction, because there is an illusion of anonymity. 2. Flaming is neither productive nor appropriate for the learning environment 3. Always avoid flaming when it comes to content and opinions, but also avoid it when it comes to grammar, punctuation and spelling corrections 4. Avoid using CAPS if possible and never type messages in ALL CAPS – this is considered yelling and is often seen as a form of aggression 5. Use emoticons ( :) , :( , :-) ) sparingly and avoid the use of JK, BRB, LOL and other text language Confidentiality and Privacy 1. 2. 3. 4. Email, messaging and posting are forms of written record and are just as permanent as a letter or document Do not publicize your own or others’ personal information (such as email, phone numbers, last names etc.) Respect copyright and cite any and all sources Do not expect that your communications are private, instead assume all communications are public For more information please review Netiquette by Virginia Shea home about expectations resources course overview learning outcomes IDEA schedule & sessions Love of Christ and Neighbor Prayer Stability Conversatio Obedience Discipline Humility Stewardship Hospitality Community 6 Netiquette ACCT 112 Managerial Accounting Individual Development and Educational Assessment IDEA Objectives • Acquiring skills in working with others as a member of a team. • Developing creative capacities (writing, inventing, designing, performing in art, music, drama, etc.) • Gaining a broader understanding and appreciation of intellectual/ cultural activity (music, science, literature, etc.) • Developing skill in expressing oneself orally or in writing. • Learning how to find and use resources for answering questions or solving problems. • Developing a clearer understanding of, and commitment to, personal values. • Learning to analyze and critically evaluate ideas, arguments, and points of view. • Acquiring an interest in learning more by asking questions and seeking answers. IDEA Description The IDEA student survey focuses on the instructor’s learning objectives for the course and on the progress each student made toward achieving those objectives. By answering thoughtfully and honestly, your ratings and comments will be much more helpful – to the instructor, the department chair, and the dean of the college. As students, you should also know that student ratings and comments have been used to help evaluate courses and to improve the educational experience at Benedictine University. The appropriate standard of conduct with respect to student surveys is thoughtful comments and constructive criticism – respectfully communicated. A Focus on Learning “The IDEA Student Ratings system looks at instruction in terms of its endgame. Rather than emphasizing teaching style or personality, the IDEA system focuses on student learning and the methods used to facilitate it.” – from the IDEA website: www.theideacenter.org/node/5 home about expectations resources course overview learning outcomes IDEA schedule & sessions Love of Christ and Neighbor Prayer Stability Conversatio Obedience Discipline Humility Stewardship Hospitality Community 7 IDEA ACCT 112 Managerial Accounting Student Weekend Course Overview Course Description Principles of managerial accounting; including cost accounting, planning and control systems, and analysis and interpretation of financial statements.
