III. Suggestions
for Success:

each chapter prior to listening /attending class session.
Answer end-of-chapter questions, and take the chapter exam.
Always add your name to
the
company name when working with data files.
IV. Assignments:
The
transmittal sheets indicates which reports and documents should be uploaded for
grading and they are found at the end of each assignment, and can be viewed on WebCT.
V.
Grading:
Grades
will be based on the successful completion of each assignment, the
practice
sets, and the examination. Failure to complete the problems within the
chapters or the end-of-chapter assignments will lower your grade
accordingly.
Chapter sets are worth 50 points each. There are two companies in each chapter
and both are due. One is embedded into the chapter--so that you can
practice QuickBooks as you read the chapter. The other company is at the end-of-the
chapter and is intended to repeat all the steps you accomplished throughout the
chapter.
There are two Practice Sets, each worth 50 points.
There is no Final Exam...the Final Project is worth 100
points. Late
assignments are only accepted within one week of due date unless prior
arrangements are made or due to illness. Although late
assignments may be accepted,
the grade will be penalized.
GRADING SCALE
A 90% of the possible points
B 80% of the possible points
C 70% of the possible points
D 60% of the possible points
(+)
and (-) grades may be given
Students
with Disabilities: I encourage any student
needing to request accommodations for a specific disability to please meet with
me or the DSS coordinator (445-3275) at your earliest convenience to ensure
timely and appropriate accommodations.
WebCT
is a required component
of the course and is being used to teach the course. It will specifically be used for communicating
with me and with each other, as well as for transmitting homework and posting grades.
You
will prefer to have high-speed Internet access for this
course. Online sessions do not work successfully for students with
dial-up access to the internet. I will
be using Wimba Live (a tool in WebCT) to demonstrate the features of the
QuickBooks software and to answer your questions. You must use headphones
or have speakers on your computer to hear
the session; the sessions
will be archived and will be available to students through WebCT. It is advisable to listen
to the archives prior to starting the work on each chapter.
Check WebCT on a regular basis for
announcements and discussion messages from your instructor or from your fellow
classmates. Sometimes a clarification, change, or correction is needed on
an assignment and I post these in the discussion boards so everyone is notified.
I try to check the discussion boards daily, and it is important for all of us to
be available to answer another student's questions. Post any classroom
discussion, questions about homework, clarification of assignments in the WebCT
discussion board. Post personal questions in the e-mail tool of WebCT.
Please do not send emails regarding this class to my personal or campus email
address. It is important to use the WebCT component to communicate.
Computer labs are available on some WNC
campuses, however the Quickbooks software is
unavailable in these labs. Our text package provides
the 2009 version of QuickBooks software with a student license and I highly
recommend you use it. You will also have access to the data files that
contact the practice companies for each of the chapters.
Homework will be transmitted by uploading through the WebCT class
assignment tool--do not
send them through email. Please combine the reports and documentation
together when uploading; I will show you how to create zip files; upload only twice for each chapter--as indicated
in WebCT Assignments.
WebCT is an excellent tool for answering questions and solving
problems as a team… use it to your advantage!
