Important Information:
Attendance is critical to your success in this class. Absenteeism is the strongest factor
when students perform poorly.
Be Mature: If you have a problem with me or anything about the class, see me.
Respect is mutual, and it works both ways. If I have a problem with you, I will talk to you
one-on-one, if possible. If you have a problem with the workload, talk to me.
Be Positive: “Accounting is the Language of Business” and a very important part of any
successful career in business. Accounting is also a life skill that can bring you success
in both your personal and professional life.
