Conduct of Course:
Class time is comprised of lectures and practice sessions each week. The lectures focus on topics general to all students, with practice sessions geared to dealing with issues requiring individualized attention.

Lecture Hours: 42 (3 hours per week)

Lab Hours: 14 (2 hours every other week)

The students should come to class having adequately prepared for topics to be dealt with that day. The instructor provides specific readings; otherwise, the readings provided in the course calendar act as a guide to what is covered. Lectures are supplemented with hand out materials, use of boards, and visual media as needed. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

Accounting is a practical subject and can only be mastered by practice.

Classroom and laboratory attendance is considered vital to the learning process and as significant to the students’ evaluation as examinations and reports.

1. Students having a combination of excused and/or unexcused absence of 20 percent or higher for the scheduled course hours will be required to withdraw and will automatically receive a “RW” (required withdrawal) for the course, regardless of any other evaluation results. (RW is a failing grade.).
2. An excused absence is one that is verified with your instructor. Verification should be prior to the absence or the next class day following the absence. Verification of the absence may take the form of a note from your doctor/College nurse regarding illness, or a note from another instructor regarding a field trip or other activity, or authorization by your instructor. An unexcused absence is anything NOT verified by the instructor prior to the absence or the next class day following the absence.

It is the students’ responsibility to know their own absentee record.

Normal hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with potential for evening courses, exams or extended field trips. Students are expected to be available for classes during these times.

Content of Course:

Students missing an exam without an acceptable excuse receive a zero on that exam. Assignments are due on the dates as specified. Late assignments are not marked unless the student obtains instructor’s consent prior to due date. Absence for any reason does not relieve a student of the responsibility of completing assignments.

Any alternate method of evaluation and/or mark breakdown is given at the commencement of class. All marks are recorded as percentages and then converted to a letter grade as follows:

• Official final grades will be available on My Lakeland. Grades posted in D2L should be considered interim grades.  
• “Lakeland College is committed to the highest academic standards. Students are expected to be familiar with Lakeland College policies and to abide by these policies. Violations of these policies are considered to be serious and may result in suspension or expulsion from the College.”  

Students must maintain a cumulative grade of C (GPA - Grade Point Average of 2.00) in order to qualify to graduate.

Every effort has been made to ensure that information in this course outline is accurate at the time of publication. Lakeland College reserves the right to change courses if it becomes necessary so that course content remains relevant.

In such cases, the instructor will give students clear and timely notice of changes.
