SCROLL down for all of the announcements.
 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

We are moving!  Future information will be communicated through ANGEL.  Check it out...I have posted the solutions to chapters 1 & 2 already under lessons.  Ask any questions you have about this move in class this week

EXAM 1:  Week of Oct 16th.  Day will be announced Tuesday.  Textbook homework for chapter 2 and part of 3 (I will inform you which problems) will be due that week. 

REMEMBER:  TUESDAY OCT 10th is a MONDAY SCHEDULE!  YOU ARE TO ATTEND YOUR MONDAY CLASSES IN MONDAY'S CLASSROOMS. 

Chapter 2 hw assignments:  Dash means "through"

Q: 1,2,4-8,11,12,14,15,16
BE: 1-4, 8,9
Ex 2,3,7
P: 3A, 4A, 6A, 7A, 2B, 4B

CLARIFICATION:  I am not sure if I was explicit about why we weren't going to go through the example at the end of the Slides for Chapter one. there... is a typo on the problem that may confuse you .  DON'T follow through and I will provide you with a new clean version :)

• Solution to Quiz 1 is posted under Quizzes Tab
   

• Section 3:  Hold onto the WSJ article that I passed out on Friday.  My other sections haven't gotten it yet.  You are going to be asked to write out responses to a series of questions.  The questions will center around terms (do you know what the terms mean in the article?) and how it relates to what we have been talking about in class.  We are also going to tie this into an upcoming discussion about Sarbanes-Oxley so it may be a bit before we use it.

• There is an article called "New footnote item in 10-ks can flag woes at companies" in today's (Saturday, Sept 30) that you are responsible for reading & understanding for next week's quizzes.  And as always, you are responsible for reading at least the front page of each of the WSJ. 
  BTW - this is a great article to on which to base a lab quiz to tie in the EDGAR material from last week!  HINT HINT
