ACT 355 Accounting Information Systems which is an online course I will be teaching in the Fall 2015 semester. I’d like to give prospective students an idea of what the course is like and my perspective as its professor.
What does it mean to be an effective leader in today’s ever-changing global economy?
It’s important to make the distinction that not all leaders are created equal. The difference a great leader can make within an organization is insurmountable. Inspiring employees to work hard and do their best to achieve business goals, attracting high-caliber talent and keeping them, and creating new opportunities for innovation and organizational change are paramount to any organization’s success.
When searching for the right online degree or course, there are so many options it can be challenging to find the one for you. As an adult learner and working professional, your time is limited and I am sure you aren't enrolling in online education just for fun but rather to learn a new skill or build on what you already know.
You need relevant and actionable solutions for real-world problems. To help you along your journey in finding the right online program, I would like to debunk three common misconceptions about online learning:

However, as higher education costs continue to rise growing number of students feel that a college education is simply out of their reach.

Credit card management is only one aspect of personal financial literacy. Ben Bernanke, former Federal Reserve chairman, once said that our financial preparedness is essential to their well-being and of vital importance to our economic future. With the student loan debt rising every year it is imperative that students make financial literacy a priority. Learning as much as you can about personal finance can help you to achieve a higher standard of living, reach personal and professional financial goals and reduce stress by creating good financial habits early on.
