ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY/DISHONESTY (CSUF UPS 300.021, 5/8/2005 (05-07
CSUF Catalog pg. 558)):
Academic dishonesty
includes such things as cheating, inventing false information or citations,
plagiarism, and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty. It
usually involves an attempt by a student to show a possession of a level of
knowledge or skill, which he/she in fact does not possess.
- Cheating is defined as the act of
obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for work by the use of any
dishonest, deceptive, fraudulent, or unauthorized means. Examples of
cheating include, but are not limited to, the following: using notes or
aides or the help of other students on tests and examinations in ways
other than those expressly permitted by the instructor, plagiarism as
defined below, tampering with the grading procedures, copying verbatim
another students assignments, and collaborating with others on any
assignment where such collaboration is expressly forbidden by an
instructor. Violation of this prohibition of collaboration shall be deemed
an offense for the person or persons collaborating on the work, in
addition to the person submitting the work.
- Plagiarism is defined as
the act of taking the specific substance of another and offering it as
ones own without giving credit to the source. When sources are used,
acknowledgement of the original author or source must be made following
standard scholarly practice.
Students who violate university standards of academic integrity are
subject to disciplinary sanctions, including failure in the course and
suspension from the university. Since dishonesty in any form harms the individual,
other students and the university, policies on academic integrity are strictly
enforced. Academic dishonesty, in any form, when detected, will result in zero
points on assignments or tests, and may results in an F for the course plus
additional University-level disciplinary action by judicial affairs. For
additional information refer to the University policy in the current CSUF
Catalog.

Teaching Method:
Accounting is not a spectator
sport. This course involves a
significant amount of hands-on computer time to complete lab assignments. The Systems Understanding Aid requires an
allocation of significant amounts of time to complete outside of class. You need to write and revise notes in your
own words. All assignments are
individual assignments.
Casual reading of the
textbook will result in failure.
Examinations covering the textbook and the Systems Understanding Aid
include detailed questions about diagrams (such as errors in diagrams or
missing labels in diagrams).
The midterm and final examinations
will consist one or more of the following formats: (1) multiple choice (2) completion (3) essay
(4) problem. There will never be any
true/false questions. The examinations
will be: (1) closed books and notes (2)
assigned seating (3) more than one version.
Class Attendance: Your prompt and faithful attendance could make the
difference between success and failure in this course.

Grading:
|
01 |
Accounting
courses taken to meet the requirements of a major or minor must be taken with
grading option 1 (A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F). |
|
04 |
All lower
division Business core courses must be completed with a grade of at least C
in each course before enrolling in upper division Accounting courses.
Exceptions to this requirement may be made for non-Business majors. Upper
division Accounting courses are not open to pre-Business, pre-Economics,
pre-International Business or undeclared students. |
Please review each semester
the universitys current grading policies:
http://www.fullerton.edu/catalog/university_regulations/gradingpol.asp
Do not remain in any course
in which you are earning low scores on the assumption that there will be some
incomplete or withdrawal options.
Grading options and bases for approving those options change.
Grading will be based upon
the distribution of total points in all of my sections of this course at the
end of the course only. For grading
purposes, all sections of my course are treated as a single section in my grade
spreadsheet.
The traditional straight
scale grading percentages will be applied to the percentage of the possible
total score earned by each student:

In Accounting courses, the
top student usually does not have a percentage high enough to receive a grade
of A using the traditional straight scale applied to the percentage of the
possible total score. In those typical
cases, my practice is to use the traditional straight scale applied to the
percentage of the top students score.
All grades in the class become relative to the performance of the top
student.
In Accounting courses, there
can be unusual distributions of total scores.
If a large number of students in the course are repeating the course
multiple times, then there can be bimodal distributions or other non-normal
distributions. There are sometimes cases
of a single student with a total score vastly higher than the total scores of
other students. At my option, I may
choose to impose the standard normal distribution on the distribution of total
scores in all sections of the course. I
may decide, for example, to raise the top students A grade to A+ if the Z
Score indicates that the top students total score was unusually good. Likewise, I might decide to raise grades in
the C to A- range if I think that this group of students should be awarded
higher grades.
Plus and minus grades will be
used in this course and will convert in the following ways in determining your
grade point average:
A+ = 4.0, A = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 0.7, F = 0.0

Academic Dishonesty
The University's policy on
academic dishonesty is that the faculty may assign an F in the course and send
a formal report to the Vice President for Student Affairs for possible
university-level disciplinary action. Do your own, individual work. Maximize
your personal growth as a scholar. Do not copy solutions from any student or
from any other source. CSUF values intellectual and personal integrity within
the learning process. See the current catalog for complete details.

AICPA Top 10 Technologies 2005
Write a short (approximately
2 pages plus references) research paper on one of the following ten top
technologies or five emerging technologies.
Explain the technology and why certified public accountants need to understand
the technology.
Top 10
Technologies 2005
For the
third consecutive year, Information Security is the country's number one
technology concern, according to the AICPA's 2005 Top 10 Technologies survey.
Spam Technologyan issue closely associated with Information
Securityapparently has lost some currency, falling from number two where it
debuted last year to number four. A different issue closely allied with
Information SecurityElectronic Data Management, or the Paperless Officemoved
up to second place from number three.
There are
also two technologies making their debut in 2005: Authentication Technologies
and Storage Technologies. Another issue, Learning and Training Competency,
reappears at number 10 after an absence of three years.
The
following are the 2005 Top 10 Technologies. Those new to the list are noted.
1. Information
Security. The hardware, software, processes, and procedures in place to
protect an organization's information systems from internal and external
threats.
2. Electronic
Document Management (paperless or less-paper office). The process of
capturing, indexing, storing, retrieving, searching, and managing documents
electronically. Formats include PDF, digital, and image store database
technologies.
3. Data
Integration. The ability to update one field and have it automatically
synchronize between multiple databases, such as the automatic/seamless transfer
of client information between all systems. In this instance, only the data
flows across systems from platform to platform or application to application.
Data Integration also involves the application-neutral exchange of information.
For example, the increased use of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language)
by companies worldwide provides for the seamless exchange and aggregation of
financial data to meet the needs of different user groups using different
applications to read, present, and analyze data.
4. Spam
Technology. The use of technology to reduce or eliminate unwanted e-mail
commonly known as spam.
5. Disaster
Recovery. The development, monitoring, and updating of the process by which
organizations plan for continuity of their business in the event of business
information resources through theft, virus/malware infestation, weather damage,
accidents, or other malicious destruction. Disaster recovery includes business
continuation, contingency planning, and disk recovery technologies and
processes.
6. Collaboration
and Messaging Technologies. Applications that allow users to communicate
electronically, including e-mail, voicemail, universal messaging, instant
messaging, e-mailed voice messages, and digital faxing. Examples include a
computer conference using the keyboard (a keyboard chat) over the Internet
among two or more people.
7. Wireless
Technologies. The transfer of voice or data from one machine to another via
the airwaves and without physical connectivity, Examples include cellular,
satellite, infared, Bluetooth, WiFi, 3-G, two-way paging, CDMA, Wireless,
WiMax, and others.
8. NEW
Authentication
Technologies. The hardware, software, processes, and procedures to protect
a person's privacy and identity from internal or external threats, including
digital identity, privacy, and biometric authentication.
9. NEW Storage
Technologies. Storage Area Networks (SANs) include mass storage,
CD-recordable, DVD, data compression, near field recording, electronic document
storage and networked attached storage (NAS), as well as small, personal
storage devices like USB drives.
10. NEW Learning
and Training Competency (End Users). The methodology and curriculum by
which personnel learn to understand and use technology. This includes measuring
competency, learning plans to increase the knowledge of individuals, and hiring
and retaining qualified personnel.
Each
year, the Top Technologies Task Force prepares a "watch list" of five
emerging technologies that have yet to gain viable commercial acceptance, but
show promise for potential impact on businesses and individuals in the next
24-36 months.
1. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).
Silicon chips and antennae that transmit data to a wireless receiver
could one day be used to track everything from soda cans to cereal boxes.
Unlike bar codes that nead to be scanned manually and read individually (you
have to actually see a bar code in order to read it), RFID tags do not require
line-of-sight for reading. Within the field of a wireless reading device, it is
possible to read hundreds of tags per second.
2. Search.
Companies like Google, Apple Computer, and Microsoft are putting research and
development resources into new ways of pinpointing digital files that do not
require wading through directories of folders.
3. Fuel Cells.
Methanol-powered fuel cells represent an exciting alternative to aging battery
technology that will help users complete the "everything wireless"
puzzle. These electromechanical devices represent both an environmentally
friendly solution (they give off carbon dioxide and water as their by-product),
as well as provide unlimited life for mobile devices (just fill the tank when
it runs low on fuel!).
4. Digital Home. The line between "digital home" and the office work day
continues to blur. For example "non-desktop" PC technology is making
a difference in how we work at the office and live at home: 802.11 cameras
monitor the office after hours or home during the day (security system), while
a 42" plasma screen resides in the office conference room, as well as the
living room.
5. Display Technology. The continued evolution of various display technologies
allow for higher resolutions and smaller devices with lower power consumptions.
Display technology is also merging, so that instead of having dedicated
functions, such as a television receiver and a computer monitor, one device is
serving multiple functions.
