Additional Course Policies I want you to succeed in this course. At a minimum, you need to read all lesson notes, view all videos, and complete
all assignments, readings, and related activities. In return, I can help to synthesize the material and point out the key
concepts that are needed. My hope is that by working hard and staying focused, you will enjoy the material, learn more
about an evolving area of accounting, and use this knowledge to improve your career prospects.
Please remember, this is an online class. Please check the course website during the week. I will regularly contact the
class during the semester via announcements and/or e-mails.
Your grade in this class is EARNED, not given. Because issues of fairness and justice are at stake for all students, I
will not respond to requests from students for “favors” or leniency in the grading policy.

Each student enrolled in COB courses accepts personal responsibility to uphold and defend academic integrity

students enrolled in business courses are expected to follow the explicit behaviors detailed in the Student Code
of Ethics.
Code of Ethics

or other aids for a quiz or exam without
instructor authorization.
Do not copy the work of others and/or
allow others to view your answers or copy
your work during a quiz, exam, or on
homework assignments.
Do not allow other parties to assist in the
completion of your quiz, exam,
homework, paper, or project when not
permitted.
Do not work with other students on
projects or assignments without
authorization from the course instructor.
Properly cite and specifically credit the
source of text, graphic, and web
materials in papers, projects, or other
