This course will cover many of the SAP modules with an emphasis on
SAP’s FI/CO Modules (Financial Accounting and Controlling) to include
discussion and hands-on exercises utilizing the chart of accounts, general
ledger, journal entries that occur “behind the scenes” as business
processes information is entered into the system, reconciliation accounts
and subsidiary ledgers, how a company utilizes SAP for management
accounting and financial accounting needs, and more. The accounting
information system is at the “heart” of modern enterprise systems and we
will explore the impact of business processes on tracking and monitoring
accounting information.

Class Format
Your active participation in discussions will enable you to learn and retain more of the
information. I encourage you to actively participate.
Turn off (or put in silent mode) cell phones during exams. Cell phone use
during an exam is an automatic referral for potential academic dishonesty.
You can expect exams to cover any material from class discussions, the
Exams required books, any notes on eLearning or handed out. Exams may consist of
multiple-choice, essay, short answer, or problems. All exams will be given
during the regular class period in our classroom (NOT the lab) starting at the
very beginning of class. You may be required to present a UTD student
5
identification card or driver’s license at any examination. I will have a short
review of what will be covered on the exams in a class before the exam.
If you do not talk with me and have an approval for a make-up BEFORE I
give the exam you have missed, you will receive a zero (0) for that exam.
Please see the policy immediately below on Make-up Exams.
If you have a valid reason to miss an exam (valid as determined by the
instructor), please get in touch with me within a reasonably sufficient time
BEFORE the exam (in person, through eLearning e-mail or via phone) in
Make-up Exams
order to receive a make-up. For personal illness, please provide a signed,
physician’s excuse. With a valid, PRE-APPROVED excuse, you will be
given a make-up exam.
Please see policies as related to exams, homework assignments, and team
Late Work
projects under those respective areas.
Homework Assignments and due dates will be posted in eLearning.
All homework assignments must be typed and professional (i.e., proper use of
spelling and grammar) or points will be deducted. Homework you provide must be
your own. If you do not complete an assignment that you said you completed (when
validated in the SAP system), at a minimum, you will receive zero (0) points for that
assignment. Submitting someone else’s work as your own is considered plagiarism
and subject to university policies associated with academic dishonesty.
If you believe there is an error on any grade, please let the Instructor and Teaching
Assistant know in writing (via eLearning e-mail) what you believe may be in error
and why you believe it is wrong. This written contest is to be given within one week
of the date that the test/individual assignment is returned/ discussed in class and/or
Grade Contests /
posted on eLearning. If the contest is related to the final exam, you are to present the
Grade Records
written contest to me immediately once the grade is posted for your review on
eLearning. If there is a mistake, I will correct the grade. All scores for all
assignments will be posted confidentially on eLearning.
I retain all exams. An exam that “walks” away either intentionally or accidentally
Exam Retention WILL receive a grade of zero (0) and will be referred to the Dean of Students.
Student Conduct The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and
and Discipline regulations for the orderly and efficient conduct of their business. It is the
6
responsibility of each student and each student organization to be knowledgeable
about the rules and regulations which govern student conduct and activities. General
information on student conduct and discipline is contained in the UTD publication, A
to Z Guide, which is provided to all registered students each academic year.
A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of
citizenship. He or she is expected to obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the
Regents’ Rules, university regulations, and administrative rules. Students are subject
to discipline for violating the standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place
on or off campus, or whether civil or criminal penalties are also imposed for such
conduct.
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic
honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute
integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student
demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work.
Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions
related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission
as one’s own work or material that is not one’s own. As a general rule, scholastic
dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or
falsifying academic records. Students suspected of academic dishonesty are subject
to disciplinary proceedings.
Academic
Integrity
Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and
from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt with under the university’s
policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for details). This course will use the
resources of turnitin.com, which searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over
90% effective.
To give you an idea of how this works, generally at a minimum, materials proved by
the Dean of Students to be plagiarized will receive a grade of 0 for the assignment, F
for the course, and/or could include being expelled from school. NOTE: ON TEAM
PROJECTS THAT ARE PLAGIARIZED, ALL STUDENTS ARE
ACCOUNTABLE. All suspected cases of plagiarism are referred to the Dean of
Students.

Resources at U.T. Dallas provides a method for students to have their U.T. Dallas
mail forwarded to other accounts.
The administration of this institution has set deadlines for withdrawal of any college-
level courses. These dates and times are published in that semester's course catalog.
Withdrawal from Administration procedures must be followed. It is the student's responsibility to
Class handle withdrawal requirements from any class. In other words, I cannot drop or
withdraw any student. You must do the proper paperwork to ensure that you will not
receive a final grade of "F" in a course if you choose not to attend the class once you
are enrolled.
Procedures for student grievances are found in Title V, Rules on Student Services and
Activities, of the university’s Handbook of Operating Procedures.
Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the
Dean of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting
the rules and regulations.
As per university policy, incomplete grades will be granted only for work
unavoidably missed at the semester’s end and only if 70% of the course work has
Incomplete
been completed. An incomplete grade must be resolved within eight (8) weeks from
Grades
the first day of the subsequent long semester. If the required work to complete the
course and to remove the incomplete grade is not submitted by the specified deadline,
the incomplete grade is changed automatically to a grade of F.
Essentially, the law requires that colleges and universities make those reasonable
adjustments necessary to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability. For
example, it may be necessary to remove classroom prohibitions against tape recorders
or animals (in the case of dog guides) for students who are blind. Occasionally an
assignment requirement may be substituted (for example, a research paper versus an
oral presentation for a student who is hearing impaired). Classes enrolled students
8
with mobility impairments may have to be rescheduled in accessible facilities. The
college or university may need to provide special services such as registration, note-
taking, or mobility assistance.
It is the student’s responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such an
accommodation. Disability Services provides students with letters to present to
faculty members to verify that the student has a disability and needs accommodations.
Individuals requiring special accommodation should contact the professor after class
or during office hours.
The University of Texas at Dallas will excuse a student from class or other required
activities for the travel to and observance of a religious holy day for a religion whose
places of worship are exempt from property tax under Section 11.20, Tax Code,
Texas Code Annotated.
If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the
purpose of observing a religious holy day] or if there is similar disagreement about
whether the student has been given a reasonable time to complete any missed
assignments or examinations, either the student or the instructor may request a ruling
from the chief executive officer of the institution, or his or her designee. The chief
executive officer or designee must take into account the legislative intent of TEC
51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief
executive officer or designee.
Off-campus, out-of-state, and foreign instruction and activities are subject to state law
Off-Campus and University policies and procedures regarding travel and risk-related activities.
Instruction and Information regarding these rules and regulations may be found at
Course Activities http://www.utdallas.edu/BusinessAffairs/Travel_Risk_Activities.htm.
Additional information is available from the office of the school dean.
These descriptions and timelines are subject to change at the discretion of the Professor.
