[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?
- A.
Email only
- B.
Private Messages Only
- C.
Email or Private Message
- D.
Voicemail
Correct Answer
B. Private Messages OnlyExplanation
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:

[OM-SY-6]The minimum hours per week required for this class (5 units), during the regular quarter is 15 hours (reading, hw, testing, asking and responding to questions). Class is designed for 12-15 hours. If you are spending less time per week, you are either already an experienced accountant or you are not giving you enough time to learn the material well.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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:

4th week (2 week in summer session)

Correct Answer

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:

[OM-SY-12]Based on the syllabus, teams are defined as 2-5 persons*, and 1 submission per team?Hint: Answer True
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Syllabus Section SY6 provides you with a general definition of what constitutes a team. The team definition varies from quarter to quarter and from project to project.
When I override the general team definition, the change will be reflected in the instructions to each specific project option - in the class DASHBOARD.
Generally, a smaller team makes it easier to coordinate work, while a larger team may reduce the workload. It varies from team to team, depending on team members' backgrounds, experience, motivation, etc.
Most times (the default), I will let you choose your own team members. In certain instances, I create the groups, instead.
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:

ALL work officially runs from Monday through Friday (12 noon). All work should be front-loaded to the early part of the week to then have enough time to ask for and get help (from both instructor, assistants, and classmates) before the weekend.
The deadlines that fall on weekends are for the convenience of those who may find them useful. But please DO NOT rely on help during weekends.Rate this question:

[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).

The Class Calendar is the controlling document with respect to due dates.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer, which is True, is that the best way to determine what is due and when is by reviewing the Class Calendar in the syllabus and the listing of deliverables for the week in the WEEKLY AGENDA announcement. The Class Calendar is considered the controlling document for due dates, and it is recommended to review it at least once per week, preferably on the first day of each week. The dates on MAL may not always be the same, as they can be extended for flexibility in submitting beyond the actual due date on the Class Calendar.Rate this question:
