Course Objectives:
The goal of ACC 208A is to have students practice analysis of financial reporting. Specific course objectives include:
1. Using critical thinking skills in the case analysis.
2. Identifying accounting information.
This course will consist of 4 Projects. Each Project concerns 1 chapter in the Introduction to Managerial Accounting, 5th edition textbook. You will be asked to read the assigned chapter and then do problems relating to this material. To do the problems you will use a website that has been designed by the publisher for this purpose. You must obtain an access code to use this website. You will get 3 tries to complete each Project. The best score that you achieve out of the 3 attempts will become your grade for the assignment. You must complete each Project by the assigned date and time. You will be graded on the Project on the assigned date. After the grading is complete, you will not be able to work any further on the project.
All Activities are Self-Paced:
This is a self-paced, Independent Activity course associated with ACC 208, Managerial Accounting for Decision Making. A passing grade in Acc 208 does not in any way guarantee a passing grade in Acc 208A. These are separate classes and they are graded and evaluated as such.
Course Conduct:
This is an on-line course. There are no face-to-face class meetings.
All assignments are to be done by students individually.
Assignments, Due Dates, & Grades:
Your performance in this course will be evaluated on the basis of the following activities:
