Syllabus

These materials represent only week one and 10 hours of instruction per the class assignment so this syllabus is slightly incomplete.  However, I did try to make it seem more complete than one week.  Because you all don’t have access to FSCJ’s Blackboard, I cannot create the quizzes as they would appear nor other elements.  I have created the quizzes in Captivate, with links below. If anything isn't working there's a link to the pdf here and below.

Materials Overview:

Links to the Video and Graphics page, Quiz 1 page and Quiz 2 page are at the bottom. Syllabus, modules and everything are also in the pdf link below.
Module 1: week 1
I’ve created a jpeg to show the demonstration used in class lecture and another jpeg to show the pyramid graphic explaining the hierarchy of accounting principles.
Cost Flow Assumption Video #1 and video #2
PowerPoint: was provided by my SME, Henry Moore, via the publisher but I changed it some to match the look and feel of what we had (Pearson, 2012).
Quiz #1 and Quiz #2 links are below but also in the pdf
