Evaluation of your work will be achieved on a one-to-one conference with your instructor regularly. You must keep a portfolio of your work for verification. All printed requirements must be maintained by you for evaluation. A folder is suggested, make sure you label everything clearly.
You will receive the value assigned to the lessons and projects if completed accurately. You will be given the opportunity to correct you errors. No value will be given to incorrect lesson assignment.
Working together on assignments is encouraged. However, during the evaluation process, you will be expected to explain the process you used to solve the problems.
Attendance
We will be working through the lessons together as a group. It is imperative that you come to class everyday. The software packages (QuickBooks and Peachtree) are only installed on the student directory.
I will make necessary adjustment as the course progresses to maximize our skill development.
