Welcome to Financial Accounting!
This is a five contact hour class on campus but you will do a lot of homework in a homework manager system online.
If you are taking the hybrid version of this class,
you will meet on campus two hours a week but do most of your work online outside of our meeting time.
There will be deadlines and you will need to meet those deadlines.
Want a preview? This is not a trip at the beach!
You will need to plan on coming and participating in class at least 90% of the class meetings.
Failure to attend and get involved in the class will hurt your grade. This will also apply to online attendance as well as for the hybrid class.
This class is hard! I know you have heard that. You will need to keep up!
There are resources on the Blackboard website. I will show you some of these now.
If you have never used blackboard, you will need to log into blackboard from the Wake Tech website.
On the right side, is a myblackboard link. Click on that.
I will log in with my student Id. Let’s make sure I remember my password.
There is a default password if you have never logged in at all.
So when you log in you will see something like this.
I am going to pick a course, one of the ones I am teaching right now, because there is information in there that I have not put in yours.
The first thing you will come to is an Announcements page.
There will be a nice pretty Welcome announcement there.
On the left side are some content areas. These content areas have different things, like the textbook that you need.
Course Documents is going to have a folder for every chapter we are going to cover.
I would like to show you some of the extra things I have on there.
So, I am going to scroll down, and I am going to use chapters 6 and 7 to give you some illustrations because I have just finished those. .
Let’s go to Chapter 6 and let me give you a sample.
In addition to some of the information from the publisher’s website,
a link to the Connect website where you will do your homework,
I have some added things like lecture notes I wrote a long time ago,
an extra quiz to practice on,
and a link to my you tubes that I have written on this subject.
I have written many you tubes. You may watch them or not watch them. This is a playlist and you can click on one you tube.
Now I am going to show you a different tool I have been using. .
Let’s go back to Course Documents and click on the folder for Chapter 7.
This is Long Term assets.
Again, going past some of the information in the folder that is on there- a lot of information like practice.
And then we get to the new tool I have discovered, called a pencast.
If you click on the pencast and play, this will be a demonstration of what we did in class.
((talking over the script to demonstrate))
This is a video I have done and it has not been captioned yet but it will be by spring.
They are basically set up and I have done the problem and you can play them and replay them
I also take special requests.
If you come back to the course, you can check out the rest of the course and see what you think.
I am looking forward to meeting you but commit yourself to doing the work.
If you want to know what that means, write me at sskane@waketech.edu
I will show you where my information is. Here is my information with my phone. It is probably easier to write me.
