ACC1300
Introduction to Financial Accounting
Foundation Management
ACC 1300 is the required introduction to financial accounting course. Financial accounting
involves the complete range of activity a company uses to prepare the financial statements it
provides to people outside of the company, including shareholders, creditors, the government,
customers, and suppliers. Students will learn how financial events (transactions) are identified,
recognized, classified, recorded, and summarized into financial reports. These financial reports
consist of the income statement, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, and the
statement of stockholders' equity (as well as the associated explanatory statement footnotes).
Students will learn both how to prepare and how to analyze and interpret these financial reports.
Students will learn the language and terminology used in financial accounting that is prevalent in
the financial press. Finally, the role ethics plays in the reporting of financial results will often be
discussed. Many business scandals (such as Enron, WorldComm, and Tyco) result from
falsifying financial accounting reports.
Course offered each fall and spring.

Introduction to Financial Accounting - Pilot Curriculum
In this section of ACC1301, I will pilot a new ACC1300 curriculum that we will use for all sections of the course in the fall of 2012.
The objective of this new curriculum is to teach you skills that will allow you to model and evaluate different strategic alternatives for a business. In order to accomplish that objective, you will need to learn how to prepare financial statements, how to analyze them, and how to forecast future performance. Those are the three broad sections of the course. In addition, we will discuss how different business models impact financial statements in very predicable ways. For example, you will be able to discuss the financial statement and cash flow implications of opening a new market or the implications of outsourcing the manufacturing of your product. We feel that this new approach will give you valuable skills that you will be able to use in whatever career path you choose.

Building Contracts for New Ventures

Every business operates in a supply chain in which it buys and sells goods and services. The links to these suppliers and customers are formalized in contracts, which is why all managers should know something about how to read and write a contract. This course will teach you how to do that. We will review basic principles of contract law and apply them in a wide variety of transactions. The course will be writing intensive, and will equip you to do on the spot drafting and to understand drafts produced by your counterpart. This skill will enhance your ability to negotiate and structure deals. The foundation law course is a prerequisite, as is a solid ability to write.

LAW3675 Innovation and the Law: A Critical Examination
4 credit Advanced Liberal Arts
The legal system has long attempted to encourage business and technological innovation. This course inquires whether current intellectual property laws effectively do encourage innovation or whether their property rights approach might actually restrict innovation and the enjoyment of innovation by consumers. We also will examine laws that regulate the implementation of innovation (trademark, antitrust and safety law) to see if they might do more harm than good. This course constantly asks the question, should any of these laws be changed and if so how?
