Textbook (Required):
Managerial Accounting, 13th edition, by Garrison, Noreen, Brewer.
New York, N.Y.: McGraw-Hill Irwin, 2010.

Study Guide: This chapter-by-chapter self-study guide will help students master the
basic content of the text. The study guide provides a comprehensive chapter review that
summarizes the learning objectives and other key terms and defines all glossary terms.
A self-test for each chapter offers a series of reinforcement and feedback items in the
form of true-false, fill-in-the-blank questions, and exercises.
Evaluation and Requirements:
Students are expected to read all assigned chapters, complete and submit all assignments on
due dates, and attend all classes. The nature of the course is such that perfect attendance is
essential for mastery of the course content. A missed class can never be duplicated.
Accounting is best learned through doing. Therefore, there are always homework assignments
to do. This will require a considerable commitment of time and effort from you. Typically,
the successful student in college can count on 3 hours of independent study for every hour in
the classroom.
Your final grade for this course will be based on how well you do in meeting the evaluation
requirements listed on your assignment schedule and applying the grading scale which is listed
below.
Students with Disabilities:
Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing,
etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Disabilities Services
Office at the respective college at the beginning of each semester. Faculty is authorized to
provide only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services Office.
Academic Honesty:
Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling course
requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against a student
accused of scholastic dishonesty. “Scholarly dishonesty” includes, but is not limited to,
cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion.
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend class regularly. Students are responsible for materials covered
during their absences, and it is the student’s responsibility to consult with the instructor for any
make-up assignments. Although it is the responsibility of the student for non-attendance, the
instructor has full authority to drop a student for excessive absences. A student may be
dropped from any course for excessive absences after the student has accumulated absences of
12.5% of the hours of instruction. For example, in a 3 credit hour lecture class meeting 3 hours
per week, a student may be dropped after 6 hours of absence.
Drops and Withdrawals:
It is the responsibility of each student to officially drop or withdraw from a course. Failure to
officially withdraw may result in the student receiving a grade of F in the course. Procedures
for withdrawing from a class are found in the Student Handbook.
2
International Students: Receiving a W in a course may affect the status of your student visa.
Once a W is given for the course, it will not be changed to an F because of visa considerations.
New Policy: Students who repeat a course three or more times will face significant tuition/fee
increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please seek tutoring or
other assistance prior to considering course withdrawal.

SCANS – Secretary’s Commission for Achieving Necessary Skills
The Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) from the U.S. Department of
Labor was asked to examine the demands of the workplace and whether our students are capable of
meeting those demands. Specifically, the Commission was directed to advise the Secretary on the level
of skills required to enter employment. In carrying out this charge, the Commission was asked to do the
following:




Define the skills needed for employment
Propose acceptable levels of proficiency
Suggest effective ways to assess proficiency, and
Develop a dissemination strategy for the nation’s schools, businesses, and homes
SCANS research verifies that what we call workplace know-how defines effective job performance
today. This know-how has two elements: competencies and a foundation. This report identifies five
competencies and a three-part foundation of skills and personal qualities that lie at the heart of job
performance. These eight requirements are essential preparation for all students, whether they go
directly to work or plan further education. Thus, the competencies and the foundation should be taught
and understood in an integrated fashion that reflects the workplace contexts in which they are applied.
Workplace Competencies
Foundation Skills
Resources: allocating time, money, materials,
space, staff
Basic Skills: reading, writing, arithmetic and
mathematics, speaking and listening
Interpersonal Skills: working on teams,
teaching others, serving customers, leading,
negotiating, and working well with people from
culturally diverse backgrounds
Thinking Skills: thinking creatively, making
decisions, solving problems, seeing things in
the minds eye, knowing how to learn, and
reasoning
Information: acquiring and evaluating data,
organizing and maintaining files, interpreting
and communicating, and using computers to
process information
Personal Qualities: individual responsibility,
self-esteem, sociability, self-management and
integrity
Systems: understanding social, organizational,
and technological systems, monitoring and
correcting performances, and designing or
improving systems
Technology: selecting equipment and tools,
applying technology to specific tasks, and
maintaining and troubleshooting technologies
SCANS workplace competencies and foundation skills have been integrated into Principles of
Accounting II, and are exhibited in the SCANS schedule.
