Midterm Spring 2006

Tuesday will mark the midway point of the Spring 2006 semester. In accounting, we will conclude the first half of the class by finishing our final topics in financial accounting. On Tuesday evening we will also receive the midterm exam via Blackboard. I must say, I'm rather pleased with my progress this semester. At the beginning of the semester, I was concerned with my ability to master this material as I found it confusing in the very beginning.

The material is still complex, and at times, difficult to understand, but I feel I'm getting a better grasp of the material. Fortunately for me, the midterm exam is open book open notes, and I have two weeks from Tuesday to complete the exam. We will not have class on Tuesday, the 7th, for spring break for the university.

My progress thusfar:
FASB Concept #2 Paper - 50 points out of 50
Homework #1 - 46 points out of 50
Internet Assignment #1 - 50 points out of 50

Outstanding grades:
Internet Assignment #2 - 50 points possible

On Tuesday, I have another set of accounting problems due, and we are also going over chapters eight and nine for discussion. Tomorrow I will need to get my problems completed and start with the reading for this week's class. I'm confident that I will be able to get everything accomplished well in advance of the class date.

The second half of the semester we will be studying managerial accounting. There will be another internet assignment due, as well as a response to a case study, and a response to a book entitled "The Goal." I will also need to complete a group project, a written assignment of 7-9 pages, along with a presentation. There will also be an additional examination.

If my performance in the first half of the class is any indication, I do not foresee too many difficulties the rest of the semester.
