Accounting is highly recommended for college bound students majoring in any
area of business. We cover in detail many aspects of accounting that time
does not allow within the framework of a college accounting course.
Students with a high school accounting background have a greater sense of
comprehension when taking college accounting. Accounting offers all
students an opportunity for development of organizational and budgeting
skills.
The nightly homework assignment is for all accounting students to read
chapters, review notes and learn accounting vocabulary. Accounting is
referred to as the "language of business."
Requirements for the course include an up-to-date notebook, which will be
collected and graded and applied as one test grade. Students must come to
class prepared, which means textbook, workbook, notebook and pencil with a
good eraser. Calculators are recommended, however, classroom calculators
can be assigned for room only use if the students so desires. Students are
not allowed to copy assignments.
Regular classroom attendance is recommended as accounting information is
cumulative and continual absences will interfere with sequential skill
building. If a student is absent tutorial are required. Any work,
including tests, must must be made up within one week or a zero grade will
be issued. Promethean Board will be used to introduce lessons and concepts.
With one year of high school accounting, a student can obtain a job in a
related accounting/bookkeeping field. Accountants (CPA's) salaries can
double within five years of employment and the job opportunities are
abundant. I hope your (your child's) Accounting experience is an enjoyable
one.
GRADES: Grades are determined by test score averages. Total daily points
are included as one test grade at the end of each quarter. Notebook is
collected and recorded as a test score at the end of the course. (Notebook
must be neat, organized and have all necessary information)
