Instructors no longer have the ability to give students a “W” for the course should
they fail to complete it. Accordingly, if you feel you will not pass the course, you
must drop the course no later than Friday, October 26 to receive a “W”. If you drop
the course at any time after this date and do not pass the course, I am required to
issue the grade of an “F”.
STUDENT EXERCISES/AUDIT QUESTIONS: At the end of each chapter, you will be
required to complete and submit your answers to Student Exercises and Audit
Questions. The Student Exercises consist of Matching, True-False and Questions
about the information in the chapter. The Audit Questions relate to the chapter
problem.
COMPREHENSIVE PROBLEMS: During the course of the semester, you will be
required to complete three comprehensive problems – After chapters 5 (54 points),
8(48 points) and 10 ( 96 points).
FINAL EXAM: After Appendix A, you will be required to take a final exam based on
the information in Chapters 1 –Appendix A. The exam will consist of True-False
questions and Multiple Choice questions. The exam is open book and you have an
unlimited amount of time to take the exam. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO YOUR
OWN WORK!
FINAL PROJECT: After Chapter 11, I will be sending you a final project to complete.
It is a recap of everything that you have learned in the semester. I will be sending
more on this later on in the semester.
FILE SUBMISSIONS: You are required to send me the file that you used to answer
your audit questions with. There is a link provided to attach your file with. You will
receive 3 points for each file that you submit.
MISCELLANEOUS:
1. After each chapter, a sample problem is provided for you to do. Although this is
not required, I would highly recommend that you do this. It is not graded and
exactly the same as the problem that you will be doing for a grade. The answers
to the sample problems are provided for you in the book, so you know if you did it
right or not. You do not have to send me the file for the sample problem.
2. Notice on page 25 in your book, there is section entitled: “Student Solution
Checking” MAKE USE OF THIS FEATURE! This feature enables you to check
your answers before you send me the answers to your audit questions. If after
using this feature, you still have an error that you still cannot find, let me know
and I will help you out.
3. Audit Questions:
a. Make sure you have the audit questions in front of you as you enter the
information. Answer them as you progress through the problem.
b. Pay particular attention to what the questions are asking you. They may ask
for information for the current PERIOD or the YEAR. Make sure you enter the
correct amount for what they are asking.
