You should expect this course to be challenging. In order for you to do well, you will be required to put forth significant effort. It is important that you read the pertinent text material before the related class discussion. Class time will be devoted primarily to lecture and discussion on the chapter material followed by working pertinent exercises and problems. Attendance Attendance at all class sessions is expected. Research indicates that students who attend most classes have higher performance and earn higher grades than students who do not attend class frequently. As a result of the demands of this course, you are expected to attend each class meeting and to arrive on time. You will be responsible for all material covered and announcements made during class, whether or not you are present. Homework Assignments Exercises and problems are assigned for each chapter. Experience indicates there is a strong relationship between the number of homework problems successfully completed by a student and his or her final grade in an accounting course. You are expected to complete homework assignments in time for the related class discussion. It is your responsibility to be prepared to respond when called on in class. Examinations & Grades Your letter grade for the course will be determined by your performance on three exams given during the semester; your performance on homework assignments; and your performance on quizzes given during the semester. Each exam will be made up of multiple choice questions and accounting problems and will be worth 100 points. Your homework assignments will be worth a total of 50 points. Additionally, there will be a total of up to eight ‘quizzes’ during the semester. These ‘quizzes’ will come from the chapter homework assignments; specifically, they will come from the Homework Handouts and assigned chapter exercises. The ‘quizzes’ will be worth a total of 100 points or more than 20% of the course grade. Therefore, your letter grade for the course will be determined based on how many of the up to 450 possible points you earn: A = 90 – 100% of 450 points or 405 – 450 points B = 80 – 89.9% of 450 points or 360 – 404 points C = 70 – 79.9% of 450 points or 315 – 359 points D = 60 – 69.9% of 450 points or 270 – 314 points F = 270 points Note that make-up exams are strongly discouraged and given only in extreme circumstances; I will be the one to determine whether or not ‘extreme circumstances’ exist in your case (should that become necessary). Your final exam is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th, from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Withdrawal Date The last day to withdraw from this course is Friday, April 4th, at 4:59 p.m. Disabilities In

Summer Word List for Writing Prompts or Worksheets

Summer Word List for Writing Prompts or Worksheets Children can forget a lot over the long summer vacation, which can last up to three months. To keep their skills fresh, help them retain what they have learned, and get them ready for the next school year, give them over-the-summer assignments containing summer-related words. Matching vocabulary to the fun summer vacation activities and topics will heighten student interest. Use this summer word list to create many summer activities such as worksheets, writing prompts, word walls, word searches, journal writing, and mini lists for students to memorize, either as sight words or using flashcards. The words are grouped in sections by alphabetical order to make it easier to find just the vocabulary you are seeking. Air Conditioning to Cooler Summer months tend to be hot, so terms like air conditioning and cooler are sure to be on students minds. But, there are also fun words associated with the season, such as amusement parks, baseball, beach, and berries- which are all prevalent during the summer.   Use these terms to create a  summer word search or crossword puzzle. The linked example printables can give you ideas and help get you started, or use the free worksheets, which contain some of the words on this list as well as other summer-related terms. Air ConditioningAmusement ParkApplesAugustBackpackBallBaseballBeachBerriesBucketCampingCarnivalCooler Daisy to Grasshoppers Kids love plants and insects, so tie these words in to  free science printables, which cover those topics as well as oceanography-related terms. Or use patriotic words, such as Fourth of July and flag, as writing prompts. Instruct students to write a short paragraph or essay (depending on their ages and ability levels) on what they plan to do on the Fourth of July or what the American flag represents and why they think its important. Alternatively, have students maintain a small garden (with their parents help) and keep a daily or weekly journal about their experiences. Who knows? They may even see a grasshopper or two along the way. DaisyDivingFamilyFarmFerris wheelFlagFlowersFourth of JulyFriendsFrisbeeGamesGardenGatheringsGrassGrasshoppers Hat to Shovel Use any or all of the words in this section to create a word wall. Type or print the words in big, bold letters on sheets of construction paper, and hang the words at various locations throughout the class, or create a bulletin board dedicated to these terms. Have each student draw a picture related to an assigned word, or have each of your older students write a paragraph about an assigned word or two.

(Make sure you get the principals permission first.) You can have students do this individually or in groups. Then, take pictures using smartphones, go back inside (or find a nice shady spot), and discuss the scenes or images students have drawn. Send the list of words in this section home with students and ask them to write a short paragraph over the summer using some of the words, based on the activities they participated in during the season. Students are sure to come back in the fall, excited to share their stories, which include their summer words.
