▪ Share with me, and the class, a little about yourself in the following shared google

“Let’s get to know each other – Section LV1”
“Let’s get to know each other – Section LV2”
Please do it after the lecture in your own time.
▪ It’s a really big lecture, so I cannot guarantee I will remember all of you by the end of
the course.
▪ BUT I will try my very very best to!!!
▪ Since we will be spending the next couple of weeks together, I would really like to
get to know all of you.

▪ Aftereach lecture, review the materials after class. This will help you “digest” the
materials covered.
▪ Attempt the assigned self-study practice problems and review the given solutions
carefully at your own time. This will help to further solidify your understanding of the
materials.
▪ Complete all the assigned tutorial questions beforeyour tutorial sessions and be prepared
to contribute to the discussions during tutorial classes. The quality of tutorials will also
depend on your contributions to the class.
▪ Always raise questions when you have them. Do not let them accumulate as each chapter
builds on prior chapter(s). Make sure you do not let yourself fall behind!
▪ Enjoy and immerse yourself in the wonders of accounting!

Zoom Lecture Etiquette
▪ Log into sessions 5-10 minutes before lecture time using your NUS Zoom account. Only
authenticated users will be allowed into the zoom session.
▪ Turn on your camera. I would love to see your happy face ☺You are most welcome to use
a virtual background.
▪ Dress appropriately. Clothing is not optional!
▪ Keep audio on mute at all times. You will be given time to ask questions during the break or
after the lecture, unmute yourself during this time to ask questions.
▪ I will NOT monitor or respond to the chat box during lecture.
▪ Questions should be directed to the Discussion forum in LumiNUS.
▪ Avoid doing other tasks not related to lecture. (e.g. checking emails, chatting, playing games)
▪ Inappropriate language will not be tolerated. I will remove students from the zoom session if
you are engaging in inappropriate or distracting behavior.
# 1 Rule to adhere to at all times: BE PROFESSIONAL

When technology fails us
1) Please do NOT panic!
2) Wait a minute or two and try logging in again to the same zoom lecture link.
3) Please be patient. I could be having connection issues from my side.
4) If after 10 minutes, the zoom session has not restarted, please check your email for
an announcement from me (if I am able to send announcement, I will do so)
5) If after an additional 5 minutes, the zoom session still has not restarted, that
probably means that technology has failed me that day. It is unlikely lecture will
continue, and therefore class is dismissed for the day. I will make a video recording
for the remaining materials not yet covered in the lecture and upload it to
LumiNUS.
Everyone has bad days, and so can Technology.
What to do when the Zoom session stops in the middle of lecture:
