COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Accounting Principles I
will cover Chapters 1 - 9 in the text, Corporate Financial Accounting, by
Warren. You may also want to purchase
the Working Papers that accompany the text, and these materials are used for
both ACC 111 and ACC 112. In the course,
measuring and recording business transactions, financial statement preparation,
accounting cycle completion, merchandise inventory evaluation and control,
short-term liquid assets, and long-term assets are among the topics that will
be discussed. When you successfully
complete the course, you will be able to understand some of the basic
components of
accounting systems.
LEARNING METHODS
Class meetings are designed
to help you learn accounting. A minor
portion of our class time will be devoted to lecture on the chapter
material. Most of the class time will be
spent in discussing and working out solutions to certain exercises found at the
end of each chapter. A list of the these
exercises is found on the last page of this syllabus, and you will find that completing these exercise in advance of
the classroom presentation very helpful in learning accounting. Student questions are encouraged.
To achieve success in the
course most students find it essential to devote a SUBSTANTIAL amount of
out-of-class time to studying the text and working out solutions to accounting
problems and exercises. Reading
assignments should be completed BEFORE the material is discussed in class. Specific “Problems” have been
assigned. These problems, which are
listed on the third
page of this syllabus, are to be completed IN PENCIL or erasable
ink. The “learning objectives” listed
at the beginning of each chapter should guide your study.
Keep current in your work
in the class. Most students find it very
difficult to catch up once they have fallen behind.
COURSE MATERIALS
Bring to EACH class meeting
the text, the materials for the chapter we are studying, a regular pencil, a
red pen or pencil, a good eraser, a calculator, a Scantron answer sheet for
each exam, and a desire to learn accounting.

14189. PARTIAL PERIOD ABSENCES
WILL BE CONSIDERED FULL PERIOD ABSENCES. IF YOU PLAN TO WITHDRAW FROM THIS OR
ANY OTHER CLASS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FILE A WITHDRAWAL FORM WITH THE
INSTRUCTOR. Occasional tardiness is excusable, however, habitual tardiness is both rude and
disruptive to the class. After two tardies, additional tardies
will be penalized the same as excessive absences.
Make-up exams might be arranged if you miss an exam,
with an EXCUSED ABSENCE ACCEPTED BY THE INSTRUCTOR PRIOR TO THE DAY OF THE
EXAMINATION. You must have a conference
with the instructor to discuss your absence.
The instructor reserves the right to accept or reject your reason for
missing an exam. If you miss an exam
without an excused absence, you may not be allowed to make up the exam. Make-up exams will be different from the
regular exam.
Assignments will NOT be
accepted after the due date. To get the
five points for the assignment you must turn your work in on time and it must be
complete, it need not be correct, just on time and complete.
