ACC 202Managerial Uses of Accounting Information

Welcome

All lectures and assigned homework from the textbook can be accessed on Canvas under ‘Yuja Media’ which is listed on the side bar of the screen under Home Page in Canvas. You must always read the chapter first before listening to the narrated video lectures. I assigned exercises from the textbook which can be found under your ‘Course Calendar’ on the syllabus. I cover the solutions on the video homework lectures and these can also be accessed under ‘YuJa Media’ in Canvas. I strongly encourage you to work these exercises and problems on your own before looking at the narrated homework video lectures. This approach will adequately prepare you for the exams where you will be expected to complete similar exercises and problems. We will use ‘Connect’ a homework manager system through your textbook publisher. The registration sheet for Connect is located in Canvas under ‘Files’ which includes instructions on how to activate the e-book and access Connect. I will assign algorithmic versions of the exercises and problems from the text homework and you will only have one attempt, thus, it is imperative that you are able to solve the assigned homework from the textbook first. You must submit your solutions through Connect and all due dates are listed on Connect as well as your weekly Modules located in Canvas. If you do not submit your assignment by the due date, a zero will automatically be assigned for the late assignment. Never wait until the final hours to submit your assignment since you could have a computer issue, or their site could be down for maintenance. Also, once students begin submitting assignments, I cannot reopen for anyone who failed to submit on time. Keep in mind that online classes require more discipline on your part and you can always work ahead as well as beginning the class prior to the start date.

How to approach this course:

Read the chapter
Listen to the chapter video lecture on Yuja Media, link is on the left of this screen.
Complete the homework assigned from the textbook and start no later than the START date clearly listed under CALENDAR on the course syllabus. Listen to the Homework Video Lecture AFTER you complete the assigned homework from the textbook. The text homework is practice for your online graded homework and the exams. You do not submit this homework since I cover the solutions in the homework video lectures.
Listen to the video homework coverage lecture on YuJa Media before you start the graded online homework

Complete the graded online homework on or before the due date listed on Connect where you only have one attempt
When preparing for the exams make certain you STUDY the video lectures and answer all questions I ask before you go to the next slide. Also, be at appoint where you can rework the homework assigned from the text without looking back to the solution.
