    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

Hint: answer 39 and 49

    • 24 and 24, respectively

    • 39 and 49, respectively

    Correct Answer
    A. 39 and 49, respectively
    Explanation
    The accounting program at Foothill College requires a total of 39 units in the core listing, which includes the courses ACTG 1A, ACTG 1B, ACTG 1C, ACTG 64A, ACTG 64B, and ACTG 67. Additionally, the overall major requires a total of 49 units.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    [OM-SY-6] The minimum hours per week required for this class (5 units), during the regular quarter is 15 hours (3hrs per unit: 1hr of "lecture" + 2 hrs of "homework").

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    5 quarter units for a class = 5 hours of lecture (or reading) and 10 hours for homework per week.

    In a summer session, the 15 total hours double to 30.

    Make sure you have enough enough hours in the week to complete all the tasks, including non-graded and graded (deliverables) work. Othewise, it is highly suggested that you consider taking the class in a future term, when you do have the time.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    [OM-TL-3] The best way to determine what is due and when. 1) Review the Class Calendar in your syllabus (at least once per week, preferably on first day of each week) 2) Review the listing of deliverables for the week in the WEEKLY AGENDA announcement, which I usually send it out on Monday morning (I copy and paste the listing from the class calendar). Note that the dates on ATS or MAL/CNow/WPlus may not be the same. I sometimes extend the dates there to allow for flexibility in submitting beyond the actual due date on the class calendar. The Class Calendar is the controlling document with respect to due dates.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer "True" is that the best way to determine what is due and when is to review the Class Calendar in the syllabus at least once per week, preferably on the first day of each week. Additionally, it is important to review the listing of deliverables for the week in the WEEKLY AGENDA announcement, which is usually sent out on Monday morning. It is mentioned that the dates on ATS or MAL/CNow/WPlus may not be the same, as the Class Calendar is the controlling document for due dates.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    [OM-FH-2] Our courses satisfy the unit-requirement to sit for the CPA exam. Hint: Answer True

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because it states that our courses satisfy the unit-requirement to sit for the CPA exam. This means that by completing our courses, students will have fulfilled the necessary units or credits required to be eligible to take the CPA exam. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    [OM-SY-16] Based on the syllabus, all graded tasks (deliverables) are submitted in ATS (ETUDES) or Online HW/Testing Tool* such as MAL (Actg 1a,1b,1c), CNOW (Actg 66), or WileyPlus (Actg 51), unless otherwise announced?

    • True

    • False

    All deliverables are submitted in ATS or Online HW/Testing Tool (class activities, however, are submitted as instructed, refer to DASHBOARD for detail for each CA).

    [OM-TL-8] You can use the class gradebook to review your current grade throughout the term.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Go to the google-spreadsheet I use to publish the class gradebook. It is linked from the left-hand-side navigation panel. It includes both a summary page (organized by a Randomly-ID-Number that I send to you via a private message by the 3rd week of the quarter) and an individual gradebook that details all your individual scores.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    [OM-TL-1] Where will I post your weekly agenda? answer: Home Page (first day of week, each week; located on home page of your ETUDES shell, middle panel and in DASHBOARD TAB)

    • Discussion Forums

    • Home Page (ETUDES)

    • Private Messages

    • Chat Room

    Correct Answer
    A. Home Page (ETUDES)
    Explanation
    I will post a weekly agenda in the home page in your ETUDES course shell (sent also via an announcement on Monday mornings). The weekly agenda lists the due items for the week, it reflects the same info as shown in the class calendar. NOTE: the class calendar controls the due dates and times for all deliverables for the class, unless otherwise announced via ANNOUNCEMENTS.

    [OM-SY-12] Based on the syllabus, teams are defined as 2-5 persons*, and 1 submission per team? Hint: Answer True

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Syllabus Section SY6 provides you with a general definition of what constitutes a team. However, at times, I override this general rule with a more specific definition, which will be reflected in the instructions to each specific project option - in the class DASHBOARD.

    Only 1 submission per team, credit given to names on title or cover page. Each person in team will receive the earned score on the submission.

    Note: each team member will receive the same score, unless the contribution rank, as shown on the title/cover page indicates a 50% or 100% reduction. More detail in announcement, later in term.

    A minimum of 30% reduction to score earned, if student submits team work individually.

    Rate this question:

  • 12.

No support required in MAL or WileyPlus.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Support only expected for problems submitted for manual scoring (excel, google-docs). Support only required for "non-given" numbers.

    0-100% penalty applies for UNSUPPORTED numbers for NON-GIVEN figures in problems (usually in exams).

    1. Submit Orientation "Quiz" (the one you are currently on)
    2. Write your Brief Bio in a Google-doc and share it with the class
    3. Register in your Online HW/Testing tool

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    [OM-TL-2] How do I communicate regarding anything that is going on in the class (1-way from instructor to class)? Via:

    • ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • Discussion Forums

    • Chats

    • Resources

    Correct Answer
    A. ANNOUNCEMENTS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ANNOUNCEMENTS". In an online class, the instructor can use announcements to communicate important information or updates to the entire class. This can be done through the learning management system or platform used for the course. Announcements are a one-way form of communication from the instructor to the class, allowing them to share important announcements, reminders, or changes in the course. It is an effective way to ensure that all students receive the same information at the same time.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    [OM-SY-1] Based on the syllabus, if someone is in one of my current classes, what is the best method to communicate with me?

    • Email only

    • Private Messages Only

    • Email or Private Message

    • Voicemail

    Correct Answer
    A. Private Messages Only
    Explanation
    Private Messages in ETUDES is best, since I am able to keep track of your messages. I receive too much email, most of it junk, which increases the likelihood of your message getting lost. Voicemail is not good either, since I only check messages a couple of times a week. Private Messages is the default communication method, if you are in any of my current classes.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    [OM-SY-8] If you decide to drop the class, but do not do so officially with the college administration, the instructor can withdraw you?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Only you can drop or withdraw from the class. After 75% of the course has elapsed (week 8 in a regular 12 week term), you will not be allowed to withdraw and instructors are not able to do so either.

    Make sure to always drop/withdraw from the class officially with the college.

    Otherwise, if you stop coming to class without dropping/withdrawing, you will earn whatever grade you would have accumulated by the time you attending coming to class - usually a FAILING grade.

    Rate this question:

    • Friday at 12 noon

    • No cut-off

    Correct Answer
    A. Friday at 12 noon
    Explanation
    Questions posted in a week, after the Friday 12 noon cut-off may not receive feedback or the response will be given on the following business day, usually on the following Monday. Remember that once we go past a chapter, we will usually not go back to those topics.

    Rate this question:

    [OM-SY-7] If you decide to withdraw the class with a "W" reflected in your transcript, by which week do you need to drop the class?

    • 2nd week (1st week in summer session)

    • 4th week (2 week in summer session)

    • 8th week (3rd week in summer session)

    • Anytime during the term.

    Correct Answer
    A. 8th week (3rd week in summer session)
    Explanation
    Only you can drop or withdraw from the class. After 75% of the course has elapsed (week 8 in a regular 12 week term), you will not be allowed to withdraw and instructors are not able to do so either.

    Make sure to always drop/withdraw from the class officially with the college.

    • Announcements

    • File Cabinet in each MODULE

    • MAL

    • HW Page (tab) in each MODULE

    MODULES:  Under the HW Tab, I include many resources, but I only include those that relate to selected hw items.

    MODULES: I may also upload some additional materials (e.g. excel templates) to the FILE CABINET.

    RESOURCES in ETUDES: Included here are MOST answer keys (including for UNassigned hw) and misc. handouts. All answer keys are available throughout the quarter and are accessible with a password, if password-protected. Password is given in an announcement at the beginning of the term. Most handouts in RESOURCES are excel-based workbooks/worksheets sourced to the textbook authors. Some handouts in RESOURCES are old, but may still be useful.

    SUPPLEMENTAL Website: The publisher of your textbook also provides an additional webpage which lists some missing resources at time of printing of your edition of our textbook. This website is listed in section SY3 of your syllabus.
