various activities:
Activity points include quizzes, homework collection, subjection points for participation and attendance and in-class group and individual activities. At least seventeen activities worth 10 points each will be assigned; assuming 17 activities are assigned, the two lowest grades will be dropped from the computation, giving you a total possible in this area of 150 points. I do not accept late homework, quizzes or other papers or assignments, so instead of turning in an assignment late, that will be one of the ones you drop.
Course
expectations:
In Intermediate Accounting 10A, you will begin to master accounting concepts and
research into accounting standards. You will learn to apply the standards
to decision-making processes, particularly with respect to the accounting cycle,
preparation of thecorporate income statement, balance sheet, and statement of
cash flows, and in the analysis of cash, receivables and inventory.

You are expected to do your own work in order to receive credit, and because
this is an on-line course, you are under the honor system. You will not
