Prerequisite: 53:010:502
Objective: This course is an introduction to the federal tax system and tax-related decision making for
managers. It explores the statutory, administrative and judicial structure from which federal tax law evolves.
Grading Policy: Class participation is an integral part this course and is expected from all students. Class
participation is impossible without class attendance. Grades will not be curved.
Class Participation: 20%
Quizzes & Homework 20%
Midterm Exam 30%
Final Exam 30%
Grading: < 70 F, 70 – 74 C, 75 - 79 C, 80 – 85 B, 86 – 91 B+, 92 + A
Grading Expectations: Many students have unrealistic expectations about grades. The grade of A is
reserved for the most proficient students in the class. The reason to aspire to an A is that the best employers
will only know you on graduation, by your grades. They have no way to know whether you are a wonderful
human being or not. If everyone or even a majority of students got As the grade would no longer be a marker
of excellence. So an A is precious currency to use in getting the best job with the best company. Work for it.
Departmental Policy is to FAIL anyone who misses six classes. You cannot get an A, and probably not a B
without doing the homework. You cannot get a C if you fail the final exam.
Examination Policy: You may bring notes on one side, of one sheet of 8 ½” by 11” paper. Notes must
be hand written. The process of condensing notes down to one page has proven to be a very effective study
method. The reason for allowing notes is that in the real working world, individuals will have access to
books. However, that access will be of limited value if the student fails to master key concepts and terms.
Anyone who asks to bring two sheets of notes to the final exam will not be able to bring any notes.
Cheating, or even the appearance of cheating by talking or accessing information other than the one
handwritten sheet of paper during a test will be grounds for failure and other sanctions as the University sees
fit.
Speaking is encouraged in class as part of the dialogue among the instructor and fellow students. However,
all discussion should be directed to the front of the room. If you feel compelled to talk to your neighbor,
please step out of the room to do so and return when you are finished. This is a simple matter of courtesy
to your tuition paying classmates.
