Homework Manager to accompany textbook
General Information
Welcome to ACG 2021. The focus of this course is to develop your ability to understand the meaning
of accounting information and use this information for decision making. You will need to understand
basic business activities and the accounting concepts used to report those activities. Using accounting
information is part of life - like it or not - and the more you know about it, the better the financial
decisions you will make whether personal or business. To learn accounting, you must READ and
STUDY the textbook and WORK PROBLEMS. You should expect to spend at least 6 hours outside
of class each week on this course. ALWAYS ATTEND CLASS PREPARED. Nothing substitutes
for regular class attendance and daily preparation. You are encouraged to ask questions and
participate in class discussions. Please refer to the TCC Academic Policies – Attendance. I am
available during my office hours and by appointment. Please remember to be polite to your classmates
and me by turning off cellular phones and pagers, being on time, not leaving early, not going in and
out during class, not talking at inappropriate times, etc. Please refer to the TCC Student Code of
Conduct.
Grading and Assignments
The semester grade will be determined from 4 unit tests and a cumulative final exam each worth 17%
of your course grade. Assignments turned in using Homework Manager will account for 15% of your
course grade. The following grading scale will be used:
A = 100-90%
B = 89-80% C = 79-70%
D = 69-60%
F = 59-0%
Homework assignments consist of questions, exercises and problems found in the textbook at the end
of each chapter. You are required to use a pencil and eraser for tests. You may want to use a
calculator on tests so be sure to have your own calculator, I cannot let you share calculators on tests.
Withdrawal Policy
You may be withdrawn for non-attendance if you miss as many as 3 class meetings. Arriving late or
leaving early may be considered an absence. It is your responsibility to officially withdraw from the
course if it should become necessary. The last day to withdraw this term is November 8th. Failure to
officially withdraw will result in an “F”. Third attempts must receive a grade. Please refer to the
TCC Course Guidelines.
Make-up Work
If you miss class, contact a classmate to get the assignments and notes so that you will be prepared
upon your return. Late assignments will not be accepted. Make-up tests will be given during the last
class period. Only one test may be made up. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!. If test 1 is missed the final
exam grade will be used for the test 1 grade and this will be counted as the one make-up test allowed,
so tests 2, 3 & 4 may not be made up. The final exam must be taken at the scheduled time. Please
refer to the TCC Course Guidelines. Incompletes are very seldom given and must be approved by
Dean Benedict. Documentation will be required. Please do not ask for special treatment concerning
these policies.
