CATALOG
DESCRIPTION
Accounting information from the perspective of management users with an emphasis on data accumulation for product costing, planning, and performance evaluation and control. PREREQ: BA 211 and sophomore standing. (4 credits)
CLASS SCHEDULE: See individual instructor’s pages.
REQUIRED TEXT: Introduction to Managerial Accounting, 4th
Edition, Brewer, Garrison and
Noreen, McGraw-Hill Irwin (Package with Homework Manager).
Note: The 3rd edition is very similar to the 4th edition. If you buy a used copy of the book (3rd or 4th edition) you will need the Homework Manager as well. Homework Manager is available online at: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073379352/information_center_view0/ (on the left of the screen is a link to a page where it can be purchased separately for $35). For a used book (3rd edition) to end up costing less than the new 4th edition which includes the homework manager (assuming you can sell it back to the bookstore for 50% of the purchase price) the cost of the 3rd edition must be 40% or less of the cost of the new 4th edition.

DEPARTMENTAL POLICIES REGARDING EXAMS
· CALCULATORS: No programmable calculators, cell phones, head phones or computers may be used during exams. Only departmental approved calculators will be allowed. Currently, only simple 4 function calculators and financial calculators such as the TI BA series are approved for exam use. The bookstore sells simple 4 function calculators for about $4.
· NO NOTES will be allowed on exams.
· NO MAKE UP OR EARLY FINAL EXAMS will be allowed. An exam session will be scheduled following the regular scheduled exam time for students with exam conflicts. Only students with a valid excuse for missing the regularly-scheduled final exam are eligible to take the make-up exam. In other cases students will be encouraged to take the final the following term.
· All exams (midterm and final) will be retained by the department. Any student who fails to turn in all or part of an exam will receive an F (zero points) on the exam.
· The final exam will be given during finals week. It will consist of multiple choice questions. If you become aware of a conflict that might cause you to miss the final exam, you should inform me immediately. One (and only one) make-up exam will be scheduled, following the regularly-scheduled exam. Only students with a valid excuse for missing the regularly-scheduled final exam are eligible to take the make-up exam.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). Students with accommodations approved through SSD are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through SSD should contact SSD immediately at 737-4098.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students are expected to follow University [http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm] and College policies.
DISCRIMINATION
OR HARASSMENT
- Discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated in the classroom. Most cases of discrimination or harassment violate Federal and State laws and University Policies and Regulations. Intentional discrimination or harassment will be referred to the Affirmative Action Office and dealt with in accordance with the appropriate rules and regulations.
- Unintentional discrimination or harassment is just as damaging to the offended party, but it usually results from people not understanding the impact of their remarks or actions on others, or an insensitivity to the feelings of others. We must all strive to work together to create a positive learning environment. This means that each individual should be sensitive to the feelings of others and tolerant of the remarks and actions of others. If you find the remarks and actions of another individual offensive, please bring it to their attention. If you believe those remarks and actions constitute intentional discrimination or harassment, please bring it to your instructor's attention.
