Business Department
by Andra Adams
My name is Andra Adams. My hometown is Sterling IL but I have been a Comet since 1990. I teach in the Business Department as well as at Nash. The business classes that I teach are listed below with a short description. Major projects and tests can be found on Skyward. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the school. I would be glad to help in any way that I can.
Accounting
Accounting is a skill-level course that is of value to all students pursuing a strong background in business. Instruction includes keeping financial records, summarizing, interpreting, and analyzing information for decision-making. Students will be given daily assignments to practice the information presented in class. It is imperative that students complete this practice to develop an understanding of the course concepts. Students are encouraged to seek additional help from the teacher if they have difficulty completing the assignments.
Advanced Accounting
Advanced Accounting is available to students who have completed Accounting with a grade of C or better. This course expands on topics introduced in the first-year course while adding new topics about management accounting, cost accounting, not-for-profit accounting and financial analysis. This course will prepare the future business student for college level courses.
Business Law I
Business Law I is designed to introduce students to the study of law. This course will help students become aware of their rights and responsibilities under the law so they can function as responsible citizens in their personal and professional lives. Students are required to keep a "Law Journal" that consists of concepts from each chapter. This journal is always due on test day.
Intro to Business
Students enrolled in any business classes should first take Introduction to Business to get a good solid background in what to expect in the courses offered in the business department. These students will learn about Our Economic Environment, Business and Government in Our Global economy, Technology for Business Decisions, and Financial Institutions and Banking Services. Students will work on improving their math skills that are used daily in the areas of business. Students are required to complete a vocabulary notebook for each chapter and to have a calculator for this class.
