4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but need answers to questions, June 24, 2002

This review is from: Accounting (Accounting / Carl S. Warren) (Hardcover)

Pretty good text. Includes interesting real-world applications and easy-to-understand chapter layouts. The one gripe I have is that answers hould be provided to the questions at the end of each chapter (or should be available for purchase in a separate textbook). I have taken two accounting classes in which this book was used and in both classes the teacher had to xerox the answers out of his answer book for the entire class. I learned so much more this way. Rather than trying to figure them out on my own, I could see what the answer was and then figure out WHY.

This textbook makes accounting look easy compared to other accounting textbooks I have examined. It covers the basics of accounting and goes right to the point. It has many problems at the end of each chapter that's great for practice and review. It also provides a website you could go to for a quick review and practice quiz.

1.0 out of 5 stars Accounting made more difficult by warren reeve fess, March 8, 2008

This review is from: Accounting (Accounting / Carl S. Warren) (Hardcover)

I am a non-accounting student in an MBA program, with little desire to be an accountant. I realize that I need to understand this but inthe course of using this in a distance ed course for transfer, with no instruction from the lousy prof, I have found myself referring to Schaum's and other accounting made easy books to understand terms and concepts. This book is poorly designed in that if you are examining a problem, it should show all the components of the problem on the pages facing you, not having to refer back to data covered 4-5 pages ago. The constant flipping back and forth is most annoying. Accounting as I now understand it is less complicated than this book makes it out to be. One can use real world examples with a more descriptive understanding of where a set of numbers goes after some transaction, all the arrows with no descriptions is also confusing. I think that Warren Reeve and Fess need to look at accounting from the beginning student perspective as opposed to approaching it from a professorial point of view. Think about how you had to start.... with no concepts or knowledge and start from there.

My gripe is done
