The textbook has a web site with sample questions for each chapter.

Quizzes are not collected. Answers are given in class only, not on-line.

Current events in accounting will also be covered in class.

Assignments are primarily short exercise; not many longer problems. The assignments are not collected. They won't be discussed in class unless there's a particular question about the assignment.
