I finally managed to get your exam grades done and uploaded to Blackboard. You guys did pretty well. The average was a 76%, with 31 A's and B's. I met with several students yesterday, and wanted to emphasize that the way this course works, with bonus opportunities and project points, most course grades tend to be one letter grade higher than the test average. So I would say a vast majority of the class are set for A's and B's, which pleases me a great deal.
Once you get the SUA done (WHEW), the time commitment I am going to ask from each of you relates to prepping for class (which will also get you DPQ points). The Excel project is about a 6 hour project (unless you have already typed your financial statements in Excel, then a bit less), and if all goes well with your class preparation, we will do MOST of the Access project IN.CLASS. This means I am going to fully expect good class preparation and participation in each class from each of you. I am asking for 45 minutes to an hour prep before each class (on average, based on your skill set and learning curve), so ONLY about 2 hours a week outside of the classroom---if you do prep and come to class every time, I promise that the remainder of ACCT 3510 will go very smoothly and we will all be very happy with the end result.
For those of you still working on the SUA...I will be available via email this weekend, but more sporadically than last weekend. If you are turning in your project tomorrow, there is a box labeled "Loraas SUA" in the School of Accountancy office that you can drop it in...otherwise, bring your projects to class on Monday for turning in. Good luck, have a great weekend!
