CPA Firm Entry Level Opportunity

Thursday Dec 17, 2015

 

Professor Elam,
I work at a CPA firm here in San Antonio and we will have a job opening starting in January. I was wondering if you would be willing to send an e-mail out to the students in your accounting classes to let them know of this great opportunity. The firm is Baros and Company, P.C. and we would need them for about 30 hours a week. They would be paid hourly. Most of the work would consist of data entry, using Quickbooks and some Excel as well. It is a great learning experience for students as well as a good opportunity for their future career in accounting. If you do choose to send an e-mail out, anyone interested can either e-mail me at [email protected] or they can reach me at 210-835-6192. Thank you for your time and please let me know what you decided to do. I hope you have a wonderful winter break!

An Exotic Scrapyard

Weekend Dec 6, 2015

I had a client in the auto salvage business. The key is to specialize as this you tube video demonstrates.

this scrapyard in England searches the world for parts from wrecked Ferraris and such. The inventory is quoted at  7.5 million euros. 

This is a great example of how managerial accounting could be used to help one socialize in high end rather than mundane auto parts.

Student Rating of Instructors

Thursday Dec 3 2015

Dear Faculty,

The Student Rating of Instruction (SRI) emails were sent to students today to their Jaguar email accounts. An announcement was also posted to Blackboard. Students can also access their SRIs via a link in Blackboard after they login. The SRIs are open now and will close on 12/6/2015 at 5:00pm.
Students have two options to access their Course Evaluations (please feel free to copy and paste the information between the bars into a communication to your students):

________

1. Blackboard. https://tamusa.blackboard.com/webapps/login/ Once you login you will see the "My Institution" page. Look for the "Tools" module. The course evaluation link is at the bottom of the Tools module. Click on the link "Course Evaluations" and you will be taken to your course evaluation links for each class you are enrolled in.

2. Student Jaguar Email accounts. Student Jaguar Email link. Once you login to your Jaguar account, you will see emails sent by A&M-San Antonio Admin. You should have received one email for each class you are enrolled in. Links to the course evaluations are contained in these emails.

________

We are conducting a communication campaign to encourage your students to complete their SRIs. However, research indicates that the simplest and most effective way to improve your SRI response rate is to communicate with your students about why their feedback is important to you as an instructor, and to remind them about the SRIs at least twice.Student
