Homework (44 points). Homework consists of assigned problems at the end of each chapter in the textbook (labeled as HW1, HW2, …, HW10, HW12), where the numbers are chapter numbers in the textbook. Submit each solution as a spreadsheet file to Canvas. Video solutions are provided on Canvas. To avoid relying too much on my solutions, try "paraphrasing" my solutions, where you study them, and then prepare your solutions from scratch on blank spreadsheets. Collaboration is not authorized. Students may be asked to answer questions about assigned problems to the class.
Supplemental problems (110 points). These are open-book problems on selected topics. Detail on each problem is in the Assignments page of Canvas. These assignments require you to write a formal memo to a supervisor that describes what your quantitative analysis means. Submit the quantitative analysis as a spreadsheet file and your formal memo as a Word file to Canvas. The format of the memo is provided within each assignment. For details on how your solutions are graded, see the grading rubric in Canvas. Partial solutions are provided in Excel. Video solutions are in Media Gallery.

Tests (236 points). Tests include a Syllabus Quiz (SQ), an Academic Integrity Quiz (AIQ), a Practice Quiz (PQ) on each chapter, a Cost Classification Quiz (CCQ), questionnaires on GVV (GVV1 and GVV2), and three quizzes (Quizzes 1, 2, and 3) on selected chapters.

You may use a blank version of Excel and a hand calculator during the tests. Please shred notes and delete the Excel file created during the test. Each test opens a few days before its due date. See “Tips for Tests” in Canvas for more details. 
Course Assessment Survey (2 points). This end-of-course anonymous Course Assessment Survey (CAS) asks your opinion about accounting program objectives and ask your suggestions on how to improve this course. I value your feedback.
Essays (40 points). Prepare two essays (Essay1 and Essay2). See the Assignments tool in Canvas for instructions about each essay. Submit your essays to Canvas. See the grading rubric and the comment box for feedback. Use feedback on each essay to improve your writing skills. Collaboration is not authorized.
Giving Voice to Values Exercises (40 points).  Prepare two formal presentations (GVV1 and GVV2) that develop your skills in Giving Voice to Values (GVV). For details, see Canvas. You will be asked to complete two questionnaires (pretest, post-test) for each exercise to assess their effectiveness.
Participation (16 or more points). Participation includes answering discussion questions (D1 thru D8) in Canvas, and other activities (for the face-to-face course), such as attendance, taking occasional in-class quizzes, answering questions, and being prepared. Be prepared to answer questions about homework and supplemental problems on the day and time the assignments are scheduled.
Honor Code. To promote a culture of academic integrity in the School of Business, faculty and students pledge to not “lie, steal, cheat, or tolerate those who do.” In addition, the School of Business defines academic integrity to include five core values: honesty, trust, respect, fairness, and moral courage. A link to the School’s honor system is on the course home page in Canvas. Using artificial intelligence, Chegg, Course Hero, ChatGPT, or similar services to find answers to assignments and tests is prohibited. Unless otherwise indicated on the assignment, collaboration is not authorized. Contact the instructor if you need this policy clarified.
Assignment Pledge. You will be asked to sign the following pledge: "I pledge on my honor that I will not give or receive any unauthorized assistance on this assignment or test" at the start of each assignment/test. If you don't agree then please contact the instructor and do not take the assignment/test.
Plagiarism. All assignments that require a written response must be in your own words. Plagiarism may result in a failing grade for the course or worse if it is a second offense. Plagiarism includes “(1) failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas, (2) failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks, and (3) failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words” (Hacker 2011: 502).

Academic Credit

According to the federal definition of a Carnegie credit hour: A credit hour of work is the equivalent of approximately 60 minutes of class time or independent study work. A minimum of 45 hours of work by each student is required for each unit of credit. Credit is earned only when course requirements are met. One (1) credit hour is equivalent to 15 contact hours of lecture, discussion, testing, evaluation, or seminar, as well as 30 hours of student homework.

Academic Freedom

SUU is operated for the common good of the greater community it serves. The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition. Academic Freedom is the right of faculty to study, discuss, investigate, teach, and publish. Academic Freedom is essential to these purposes and applies to both teaching and research.

Academic Freedom in the realm of teaching is fundamental for the protection of the rights of the faculty member and of you, the student, with respect to the free pursuit of learning and discovery. Faculty members possess the right to full freedom in the classroom in discussing their subjects. They may present any controversial material relevant to their courses and their intended learning outcomes, but they shall take care not to introduce into their teaching controversial materials which have no relation to the subject being taught or the intended learning outcomes for the course.

As such, students enrolled in any course at SUU may encounter topics, perspectives, and ideas that are unfamiliar or controversial, with the educational intent of providing a meaningful learning environment that fosters your growth and development. These parameters related to Academic Freedom are included in SUU Policy 6.6.

Academic Misconduct

Scholastic honesty is expected of all students. Dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent (see SUU Policy 6.33). You are expected to have read and understood the current SUU student conduct code (SUU Policy 11.2) regarding student responsibilities and rights, the intellectual property policy (SUU Policy 5.52), information about procedures, and what constitutes acceptable behavior.

Please Note: The use of websites or services that sell essays is a violation of these policies; likewise, the use of websites or services that provide answers to assignments, quizzes, or tests is also a violation of these policies. Regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), you should check with your individual course instructor.

Emergency Management Statement

In case of an emergency, the University's Emergency Notification System (ENS) will be activated. Students are encouraged to maintain updated contact information using the link on the homepage of the mySUU portal. In addition, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Emergency Response Protocols posted in each classroom.
