COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Accounting Principles II2 will cover Chapters 10-15, in the text,
Corporate Financial Accounting, 9th Edition by Warren. In the course, current liabilities, long-term
liabilities, contributed capital,
retained earnings, corporate income
statements, cash flow statements, financial statement analysis, long-term
investments, and payroll accounting are
among the topics that will be discussed.
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
these exercises is found on the last page of this syllabus, and you will find
that completing these exercises in advance of the classroom presentation very
helpful in learning accounting. Student
questions are encouraged.
To achieve success in the course, however, 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 fourth page of this syllabus,
are to be completed—neatness counts. 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 calculator,
and a desire to learn accounting.
GRADES
Although some latitude is reserved for the instructor’s subjective
evaluation of your achievement, your final grade is primarily determined by the
number of points you have earned.
The tentative point schedule will be: The grading scale will be:
3 regular exams 300
90% - 100% = A
Final exam 100 80%
- 89% = B
Assignments 30
70% - 79% = C
Total Points 430
60%- 69% = D
Below 60% = F
ATTENDANCE, TARDINESS, WITHDRAWALS, MAKE-UPS, AND LATE WORK
ATTENDANCE AT EACH CLASS SESSION IS REQUIRED. Absences beyond the number of times the class
meets each week are considered excessive and you MAY be withdrawn from the
class. IF YOU PLAN TO WITHDRAW FROM THIS
OR ANY OTHER CLASS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FILE A WITHDRAWAL FORM WITH
THE INSTRUCTOR. The deduction for
excessive absences will be ten points
each. If an excessive absence is
necessary, please notify me by leaving a message by voice mail or e-mail. PARTIAL PERIOD ABSENCES WILL BE CONSIDERED
FULL PERIOD ABSENCES. Occasional
tardiness is excusable, however, habitual tardiness is both rude and disruptive
to the class. After two tardies,
additional tardiness will be penalized the same as excessive absences. IF YOUR NAME APPEARS ON THE FINAL GRADE
ROSTER, THEN A GRADE MUST BE ASSIGNED TO YOU.
THE INSTRUCTOR WILL ASSIGN GRADES BASED ON THE GRADING SCALE INDICATED
ABOVE.
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.
OTHER ITEMS
You, the student, are
responsible for the following:
Respect for the rights of others and for the college and its property are fundamental expectations for every student. A student impaired by drugs or alcohol will be asked to leave the class and subject to appropriate school discipline.

FINAL COMMENT
