FORMAT OF ACCT 569T
ACCT 569T is being offered this spring in a totally online
format, designed to make you, the
student, an active participant in your learning. You will be
using several interactive engagementtools, receive valuable
perspectives from industry experts, participate in weekly topical
group
discussions with your fellow students, and collaborate on team
assignments. Your presence oncampus will not be required, but the
course will cover the same content with the same Professor,and will
require the same amount of preparation and participation on your
part, as you would
experience in the classroom.
ACCT 569T, Advanced Partnership Taxation, is a graduate level
study of the federal income
taxation of partnerships and limited liability companies, and
builds upon the concepts learned in
ACCT 551T, Taxation of Partnerships and S-Corporations. The
course will be structured around
a factual case study that we will work with throughout the
course to study in more depth manyaspects of partnership taxation.
At the end of this course you will be able to demonstrate your
proficiency in Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code and
apply your expertise to
partnership and LLC issues and transactions.
The course will be entered through Blackboard, where all course
materials and announcements
will be posted, where the online discussion forums will take
place, and where your graded
assignments will be turned in. In addition, through Blackboard
you will access our VirtualClassroom, which is an asynchronous
learning tool, meaning you can access it whenever you
like as often as you like. In the Virtual Classroom, you will
view faculty lessons, hear from
industry experts, and engage in self-assessment activities
designed to help you understand andapply key course concepts. These
self-test exercises that will not be graded, but they contain
the core content for this course and replace the traditional
classroom lecture.
We will also hold synchronous on-line video-chat meetings each
week via a tool calledMarshallTALK, to be held on Tuesdays from
6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. PDT, where your
attendance is expected.
The on-line course does not mean less work, but it does mean
more flexibility and more
engagement in your own learning. I am confident that you will
find it to be a valuable
experience. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions.
