ACCT 401 - Taxation I

ACCT 401 Group Discussion Board Forums (4)

For this collaborative discussion board, the instructor will place the student into a group at the beginning of the course. 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. The student is required to post 1 thread of at least 500 words which must include at least 2 citations other than the textbook. The student will then post replies of at least 250 words each to 2 other classmates’ threads.

ACCT 401 Connect Homeworks (4)

In every other module/week, the student will be assigned homework to complete in the Connect digital learning environment. At the end of the assigned modules/weeks, Connect 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, not in the textbook (though the homework is based off of the material in the textbook). In addition, Connect may be accessed outside of Blackboard; therefore, any potential Blackboard outages are not grounds for Connect homework deadline extensions. Save the link provided by the instructor before the course begins for future reference.

ACCT 401 Comprehensive Problem

The student will complete a Comprehensive Problem from the textbook. The problem must be submitted as a PDF file using a tax software of the student’s choosing, provided it is able to be attached as a PDF file.

ACCT 401 Exams (4)

Four exams will be required in this course. Each exam will be open-book/open-notes, contain 40 multiple-choice questions, and have a 2-hour and 30-minute time limit.
