Welcome to AC402!

Welcome to Accounting Information Systems (AC402) for Spring 2012. You probably got here because you were looking for more information about the course, so here is an attempt at some answers...

First, the Moodle site is just about up and running. Note that I use Moodle primarily as a document repository - all course announcements and supplemental information will be posted to this blog. I have posted the syllabus, and recommend you print it out and review it before the first day of class because I won't be bringing copies with me.

Second, there is no textbook to buy. Instead, I have posted a pdf file titled "Electronic Readings Packet" to the Moodle site that you will need as the course progresses. However, the first part of our course will involve coverage of three exhilarating chapters from Intermediate, so hopefully you kept your text. I also hope you kept your Auditing text, but that will be useful primarily for review only.

Finally, is there anything that you can do to prepare for the course? Yes! Add the movie Office Space to your Netflix queue and watch it before the spring semester starts. I use a lot of references to the movie during class, and it will be a lot easier if you are familiar with what I am talking about. Plus, it is a really funny movie. The department has a few copies of the DVD that we can loan out to you once the semester starts as well.
