Important Information:

Attendance is critical to your success in this class. Absenteeism is the strongest factor with students doing poorly.

Be Mature: If you have a problem with me or anything about the class, see me. Respect is mutual, and it works both ways. If I have a problem with you, I will talk to you one-on-one, if possible. If you have a problem with the workload, talk to me.

Be Positive: Accounting is the language of business and a very important skill to have for any career in business and also a life skill.

Work Quietly: This is also Accounting I. They need to be able to hear me, and I need to be able to hear my accounting I. students and not be distracted while I teach.
