General Comments
Welcome to Advanced Accounting Information Systems! I believe you will find this course to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable classes you have taken, as well as one of your best learning experiences. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you this semester and helping you succeed in this course, in the University, and in your career.
Keep in mind that your primary goal in this course is to enhance your professional career. Do not approach the course material as if your only goal is to perform well on exams. You should make every effort to attend class. If you occasionally skip class, you will find yourself continually struggling to catch up. The best thing to do is plan ahead and budget your time appropriately so you can keep up in every class.
Please feel free to meet with me if you ever need help with this course. In addition, I welcome your suggestions about how the course could be improved.
