ACCT 311 - Cost Accounting I

ACCT 311 Group Discussion Board Forums (4)

Discussion boards are collaborative learning experiences. There will be 4 Group Discussion Board Forums throughout the course. The purpose of Discussion Board Forums is to generate interaction among students in regard to relevant, current course topics. For this collaborative discussion board, the student is required to post 1 thread of at least 500 words. The student must post 1 reply of at least 250 words. For each thread, the student must support his/her assertions with at least 2 citations other than the textbook, and the Bible may be 1 of those sources. Everything must be in current APA format. Outside research for the replies is encouraged but not required. All resource references must include an in-text citation to give credit to the source of the information.

ACCT 311 Connect Plus Homework (8)

In each module/week, the student will be assigned homework to complete in Connect Plus. At the end of the assigned modules/weeks, Connect Plus will automatically grade all of the assignments, and the instructor will then download the results and place the scores within Grade Center. As a reminder, all homework is conducted in Connect Plus, not in the textbook (though the homework is based on the material in the text).

The student will need to link to link to his or her Connect account through Blackboard. To link to Connect through Blackboard, the student must follow the directions found under “Important: Register for Connect” as an assignment in Module/Week 1 under Course Content. Doing this will provide the student with access to the e-book, homework, and exams necessary for this course.

ACCT 311 Individual Research Paper

The student will write an 8–10-page research paper on a topic that is relative to cost accounting theories. The paper must follow current APA format and utilize at least 5 scholarly resources.

ACCT 311 Connect Plus Exams (4)

The student will be expected to complete exams within Connect Plus. Each exam will be open-book/open-notes, contain 30 questions, and have a 2-hour and 30-minute time limit.
