BEC - 1/14 - 75!!! Perfect score! First Pass! YAY!!!
AUD - 8/14 - 80!!!
REG - 5/14 - 72, 10/14 - 66, 1/15 - 78 - DONE FOREVER!!!
I did 5 of the UNA and CPAExcel classes to earn units.

I think most of the syllabuses are about the same….

Textbook:

CPAexcel Tax Materials, Efficient Learning Systems

Objectives:

Students will demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the fundamentals of the U.S. federal income system related to the taxation of individuals, including the areas of income, deductions, property transactions, and other requirements to determine individuals’ tax consequences.

Students will be able to use the concepts and rules underlying the federal income tax system to solve common tax problems.

Students will be able to identify important tax issues and select appropriate tax planning recommendations.

Students will have a basic understanding of common tax forms.

Credit Hours:

3 semester hours

Prerequisites:

AC 361P, Financial Reporting I (or equivalent intermediate accounting course).

Course Delivery:

This course is delivered online and you can proceed through the material at the pace that is most appropriate for you. Once you complete the application process and are given your login information for the course you will be able to access all course materials at http://www.cpaexcel.com. The course outline that is shown in your CPAexcel Course Manager will be available online and will guide you through the course. The study text materials, lesson videos, and homework questions are all included online.

For each lesson assigned, it is recommended that you first watch the video lecture to become familiar with the area. You should then read the study text material and work through the problems and solutions included in the study text. Your last step is to work all of the homework problems provided in the lesson. Some of the homework is included in your Participation grade and some is not, as follows

Proficiency Questions Not Included in Participation

Exam Questions Included in Participation

Task Based Simulations Included in Participation

Not all lessons have Task Based Simulations. You can rework Exam Questions and Task Based Simulations that you missed to raise your Participation grade if you desire. Note that detailed solutions are provided to the multiple choice questions, but you should work each problem on your own before checking the solution. The best way to learn accounting is to work problems yourself, not just read problems and the related solutions.

Quizzes and exams should be taken at the time shown in your lesson outline. Note that quizzes and exams do have time limits. Quizzes and exams can be taken only once. If you have any questions as you complete the course please email me.

Course Access and Enrollment Issues:

Once you have completed all application materials and paid the course fee you will be given access to the course material. At this time you can begin reviewing the course materials and completing the course requirements. However, this does not mean that you are enrolled at UNA.

UNA processes applications for this course once each month. Once your application has been processed and you are officially admitted as a student at UNA and enrolled in this course, you will receive an email from the professor welcoming you to the course. Until that email is received you are not officially enrolled at UNA even though you will already have access to the course material.

If your application is not accepted at UNA you will receive a refund of your course fee. This is an unusual occurrence and usually happens only when application materials are incomplete or prerequisites have not been satisfied.

The University of North Alabama allows students two semesters to complete the requirements for a specific course, subject to the approval of the instructor. If you do not complete the course in the semester of your initial enrollment, you will receive a grade of “Incomplete” and will be able to complete the course in the following semester. If you do not complete the course by the end of the second semester of enrollment, then you automatically receive a failing grade for the course.

The content covered in this course is very similar to the content covered in the traditional classroom courses offered at UNA. We are not aware of any instance where UNA accounting courses were not accepted by state licensing boards in determining if the requirements have been met to sit for the CPA exam. However, we advise you to be familiar with the requirements for the state where you plan to sit for the CPA exam to insure that the courses you complete are appropriate. These requirements can vary substantially across states (see http://www.nasba.org for a listing of State Boards of Accountancy websites).

Course Assessments and Final Grade:

The following are the general policies for this class. Deviations may be necessary.

There will be four exams and eight quizzes.

All exams and quizzes will be given on-line and will focus on problem-solving skills. Students will be allowed no more than two hours for each exam and no more than 30 minutes for each quiz.

All exams and quizzes will be open book and notes, but each student must complete the tests without assistance from other individuals.

DO NOT CHEAT ON EXAMS OR QUIZZES. Anyone who cheats will receive an F for the course.

Final grades are determined as follows:

Points

Homework 50

EXAM 1 100

EXAM 2 100

EXAM 3 100

EXAM 4 100

8 Quizzes

@ 10 each 80

---

Total 530

Grades will be assigned as follows:

90% or above = A

80% to 90% = B

70% to 80% = C

60% to 70% = D

Below 60% = F

Your grade will be the percentage of your total points earned to 530 points.

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"
