>> Orientation video 1, CPAscott website introduction.
This is an orientation to online accounting 1C.
We are going to start out by looking at the CPAscott.com website.
CPAscott.com is my own personal website and I use it for public information.
Notice on the home page we have various links to some of the De Anza webpages.
Of course we also have links to the various courses that I teach here at De Anza.
I would like to call your attention to the upper right hand corner of the web page
where we have the accounting links.
If you click on this link you'll go a list of various other websites that I've compiled
that will help you learn more about accounting.
For instance, in chapter 18 we're going to be looking at the institute of management accounts.
This is a abbreviated IMA.
My links page has a link to the IMA website.
However, most of the time you'll be going to the Accounting 1 C online fall 2019 page.
I sometimes teach both a face to face campus service over Accounting 1C
as well as this online Accounting 1C.
Make sure that you always refer to the information for the online section.
So let's go there.
Click on the tab to go to the accounting 1C online fall 2019 and you will find links
to various resources for this course.
Let's start with the course syllabus.
Click on the link for the syllabus.
The syllabus is the basic contract for this course.
Syllabus contains a lot of important information that you should be aware of.
The accounting 1C online fall 2019 page also has a link for the schedule.
The schedule is a calendar that contains all important due dates.
Keep in mind that the calendar changes throughout the quarter.
More due dates may be added to the calendar as the quarter progresses.
The link after that is for homework assignments.
The homework assignments link parallels the schedule or the calendar.
All important due dates will be shown on this page as well.
This page contains more detail about the assignments than the calendar contains.
We also have a link called use of websites in class.
There are three basic websites that we'll be using throughout the course.
The current website is CPAscott.com and that's my personal website.
I use this for public information.
The second website is called Canvas.
Canvas is De Anza's own course management system.
I use this website to publish more private information.
I also use this website for various web activities
such as forum discussions and some kinds of quizzes.
The third website is CengageNOW.
This website is sponsored by the textbook publisher.
This website contains many important resources such as the E-book.
This is also the place where chapter homework assignments will be completed.
There will be quizzes on this website and also midterm one for this course,
that's interim online midterm in the middle of the quarter.
Remember the comprehensive on campus midterm exam must be taken on campus,
in person, at the end of the quarter.
Finally there is an extra credit link.
You can earn 3 percentage points of extra credit completing an assignment
that will be listed here later in the quarter.
A percentage point relates to your grade at the end of quarter.
Three percentage points would increase your final score
from an 89 to a 92 percent, for instance.
