Throughout the program, the faculty expects students to develop and exhibit professionalism. Professionalism includes, but is not limited to, being responsible, being conscientious, exercising care in the performance of work, and exhibiting integrity and respect for others. The faculty expects students to regularly participate in the department’s professional awareness program and other professional development activities sponsored by the department.Preparation: The accounting and information management program is demanding and rigorous. Thus, students entering the program must be prepared to meet these increased expectations. Classroom learning best occurs when students are adequately prepared for class. Thus, the faculty expects students to read and prepare assigned material prior to class as set forth in the course syllabus. As part of their preparation, students should check Blackboard regularly for assignments and other communications. Students who have difficulties mastering the materials should seek advice from the instructor or graduate teaching assistant.Integrity: The faculty expects students to approach their studies with honesty and integrity. Students must do their own work on exams, quizzes, homework, papers, presentations, and projects unless the course syllabus specifically allows for group work. Dishonest behavior in completing assignments and exams will not be tolerated and will be reported to the Student Judicial Affairs Office. Students are expected to adhere to the University’s Honor Statement set forth in Hilltopics and reproduced below and to follow the detailed academic standards described on pg. 16 of Hilltopics.Deadlines: Students should submit papers, homework, and projects on or before the assigned due dates unless the instructor specifically allows a delay.Class Attendance: The faculty expects students to attend their classes. If a student must miss class for a valid reason, the student should notify the instructor about the absence, preferably in advance. Students are responsible for any academic work missed during class absences.ACC200 Syll Fall 15 TR Pg. 1 of 12Accounting 200Foundations of AccountingFall 2015 – TR SectionsInstructor: ________________________________________________________Office Location and Hours ___________________________________________Office Phone: ________________________ E-mail: ________________________Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA): ___________________________________Office Location and Hours ___________________________________________Office Phone: ________________________ E-mail: ________________________Course Philosophy: ACC200 is a demanding course, probably more so than most courses you have takenso far. You learn best when you come to class prepared, so we expect you to read and prepare assigned material before the class date listed in the course syllabus. In your preparation, check Blackboard every day for assignments and other communications from your instructor or graduate teaching assistant (GTA). If you have difficulty mastering the material, seek help immediately by contacting your instructor or GTA. Very few students are successful in ACC200 using a “cram for the exam” approach. ACC200 material builds on itself each week. Do not fall behind in this course.Contacting your Instructor or GTA: ACC200 instructors teach more than one section, which means they teach hundreds of students each semester. We are happy and willing to help students, but we should not have to figure out who you are or which section you are in. So, when you email your instructor or GTA, do the following:1. Write your course and section number on the Subject line 2. Sign your name to the email.If you voicemail your instructor or GTA, say your name, course number, section number, and your callbacknumber clearly.Primary Learning Objectives: In ACC200 students will:1. Learn about business types, forms, and functions.2. Learn the roles of both financial accounting and managerial accounting in business. 3. Learn fundamental financial accounting principles.4.
