Managerial Accounting 1C

Ken Harper, Instructor

Sharon Miller, Assistant

 

Course Objective:  Managerial accounting provides information used in management decision making. Unlike financial accounting, much of this information is confidential in nature and is not reported to the public. Our objective is to have direct experience in organizing and analyzing data used in a wide variety of management decisions. In today's business, world, the computer is central in collecting, organizing and analyzing data. It is almost imperative for the business student to have direct experience with a computer while preparing to meet the challenges of the business world. To accomplish this you will process selected problems using an electronic spread sheet program.

 

Exercises and problems will be assigned and reviewed in class. Your success in class will be enhanced by your reading the text and working the problems before the class lecture for the related section. In order to achieve your potential we suggest that you spend two hours outside class for each hour in class

 

Assignments:  Exercises and problems will be assigned and reviewed in class. Your success in class will be enhanced by your reading the text and working the problems before the class lecture for the related section.

Student Evaluation:  Your letter grade will be based on three or four midterms, one final, several computer assignments, various quizzes, and homework. Homework is due at the beginning of the class.  Late homework will be graded accordingly. Remember that your work will be graded on accuracy and subjective qualities such as presentation and style. The following scale will be used to assign letter grades: 

Grade Percentage:

  • A Above 90%
  • B 80% to 89%
  • C 70% to 79%
  • D 65% to 69%
  • F Below 64%

Although no points are assigned for classroom participation, factors are considered by your instructor when the final grade for the course is assigned.

 

Academic Integrity and Disruptive Behavior:

  • Statement on Academic Integrity: It goes without saying that academic integrity is expected from each student. As such, if there is a reasonable basis for concluding that a violation of academic integrity has taken place; all suspected parties will be awarded a course grade of "F", with a letter to the Dean explaining why this grade was awarded. It will be up to the students involved to convince the instructor that the violation did not take place.
  • Disruptive Behavior: De Anza College will enforce all procedures set forth in the Student Standards of Conduct (see catalog), any student disrupting a class may be asked to leave that class. Administrative follow-up may result.
