Required Readings from the Textbook – Managerial Accounting: The Cornerstone of Business Decision Making:
Chapter 3: Cost Behavior and Forecasting
Chapter 4: Job-Order Costing and Overhead Application
Length of Initial Postings: Students will read the assigned textbook chapters from the Managerial Accounting textbook each week. Then they will then post three (3) substantive postings that they found interesting in each assigned textbook chapter. For example, if there are two (2) chapters assigned for Week 2, students will read each chapter and provide three (3) substantive postings for each individual chapter (total of 6 substantive initial postings for Week 2).
Initial Postings Must be Substantive: In order for each individual initial posting to be substantive, the students will provide, in their own words, a paragraph that is a minimum of four (4) sentences long for each topic (3 topics/paragraphs per textbook chapter). The posting paragraph must inform or even teach the reader about the concept they found interesting in their own words. Therefore, for each textbook chapter, the student will provide a minimum of three (3) full substantive paragraphs in their own words on different topics they found interesting or new. Remember that postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!
