| Additional Comments |
If you are going to major in Accounting, you will unfortunately have to take this class. My poor rating is both for the class and the professor. Dr. Magner is the only professor who currently teaches ACCT 310.
Your grade is determined as follows:
There are six 16 point quizzes that pertain to a topic you recently learned. He will drop the lowest grade.
There is a project worth 30 points. This is not a group project. You will turn in a paper and the disk. Be sure to read the directions very carefully. This project not only wants you to know how to do the problem, but also how to correctly format an accounting spreadsheet.
There are three exams worth 100 points each. These exams are a comination of MC and problems. These tests are very difficult. I would suggest that you practice the homework problems and attempt to do the suggested practice problems. It took most students the entire class time to take the exams.
The final is cumulative MC, and again very difficult. It is worth 150 points. It is impossible to have an A before taking the final, thus it is mandatory.
Dr. Magner is very intelligent and thoroughly knows Cost Accounting. However, he is not a good teacher. I (and others that I have spoken with) do not understand how we could do so well in ACCT 201 and not replicate those same grades in ACCT 310, given the fact that the material is essentially the same. Dr. Magner believes that students memorize formulas and layouts in ACCT 201 and seems to design his tests and quizzes so that you cannot memorize the material.
Dr. Magner has little patience for tardiness and students who don't pay attention. He will call you out if you are sleeping or doing something rather than Cost Accounting. Class begins promptly and you will stay the entire class period (and then some).
Though ACCT 300 is supposedly the "weed-out" class, I know of many more people who have changed their major because of ACCT 310. I would not suggest that you take these two classes simultaneously. In order to do well in 310, you need to devote some time to the class.
