2 Grades Points Exams (4) 180, 180, 180, Assessment exam 20 Quizzes (10 pts each, lowest 2 dropped)* 80 Homework (9/11 lowest 2** dropped)* 135 Total 1000 Attendance (PENALTY 5 points per class) (5) Grading Scale A: points B: points C: points D: points F: 599 points and below Final points: A fractional point rounds up to a whole point (i.e., 0.01 would become a whole point). NOTE: *After you submit your assignments in Canvas, it is your responsibility to ensure the grade posted correctly in Canvas. Any issue with an assignment needs to be addressed before the due date ends. **Only submitted homework assignments are eligible to be dropped. Pre accounting majors need a B grade or better (800 points) in this course to enroll in Intermediate Financial Accounting 1 (ACG 3103). All other Business majors need a C grade or better (700 points) in this course as a business core requirement. Note: Please review the grading scale carefully. The class is based on 1000 POINTS not percentages. The cutoff for an A is 900 points; therefore, 899 points is NOT an A, it is a B. The cutoff for a B is 800 points, therefore, 799 points is NOT a B, it is a C and lastly, to pass the class with a C you need a minimum of 700 points NO EXCEPTIONS AND NO EXTRA CREDIT. Exams If you cannot make a scheduled exam, notify the instructor immediately to make arrangements for taking the exam. If you encounter a severe hardship (medical or other) that interferes with the scheduled exam, proper validation (doctor note, etc.) is necessary to be allowed to take the exam at a later date. The instructor reserves the right to deny late exams. You may only use a non programmable calculator (which includes the TI BAII Plus) on the exam. No other material/items are allowed during testing (such as cell phones, electronic organizers, scrap paper, etc.) unless provided to you by the instructor. EXAM DAY and REVIEWING EXAM RESULTS DAY PROCEDURES: 1. ALL PERSONAL ITEMS (Backpacks, purses, cell phones, electronic devices, paper, etc.) MUST BE PUT AGAINST THE FRONT OR SIDE WALLS (NOT THE BACK WALL OF THE ROOM) BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THE EXAM. 2. Make sure all electronic devices, including cell phones were/are turned off. 3. For exam day you should only have a non programmable calculator and writing instruments at your work station. 4. For reviewing the exam after it has been graded you should have NOTHING at your desk/work station. 5. Violation of the above is considered a form of cheating. Assessment Exam Due in Canvas The Assessment Exam will be tested in Canvas and is worth 20 points. It is NOT open book/notes. The assessment exam covers one of the course learning objectives (as described on page 3 of the syllabus). Results are used to improve the course. It is important that you do your best on the assignment. 2

3 Quizzes Quizzes will be given in Canvas over the semester (10 quizzes, 10 points each, total quiz points available: 80 points lowest 2 quiz grades are dropped). Quizzes are timed and are NOT open book. Homework (available in the course packet and submitted in Canvas) Homework questions relate to concepts covered in each chapter. SUBMIT YOUR ANSWERS AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE THE CLASS IN WHICH IT IS DUE. Submit your homework answers in CANVAS before 11:59PM on the due date. You have three (3) chances to submit your homework answers in Canvas. Your grade is based on your highest submission (15 points possible). The lowest (2) submitted homework grades will be dropped in determining your overall course grade. (Total homework points available: 120 points). Zeros on homework due to not submitting your answers will NOT BE DROPPED in determining your grade; only attempted homework lowest scores will be dropped. The homework assignments are designed to help the student apply course content and to prepare for the exam. You may work together on the assignments; however, you are responsible for completing your own assignments and submitting your answers on time. AFTER you have submitted your answers you are required to check your points in Canvas to ensure the assignments were included in your overall grade. Any issues should be communicated to the instructor immediately (before the due date ends). Why drop two lowest homework/quiz grades? The main reason is because the assignments are due online; dropping two assignments covers the possibility of internet/computer issues as well as other uncontrollable issues. I expect you to submit ALL of your homework assignments at least once before the expiration time, no excuses. CANVAS SUBMISSIONS Keep in mind your answers are submitted on CANVAS (computer/internet based); please give yourself enough time to post your answers and allow time for computer/internet issues. Study Questions Included in the course packet are exam study questions (solutions for each chapter are available at the course website). You are encouraged to work through them on your own to increase your understanding of the material. Attendance You are expected to attend class to get benefit from the lecture. You may miss three classes without penalty for each additional missed class you will LOSE 5 points from your overall point total.
