Review

The authors give enough [EOC] material that the professor can do some of the exercises and problems in class for the students and still have enough problems and exercises to assign to the students for homework. The exercises and problems tie in nicely with the chapter material. They emphasize the important points the students need to know.

I find the Real World Notes to be especially useful. I often discuss them in class. I think it is quite useful to give the students something that they can relate to in the real world.

I especially like the "Special Activities" section. It allows me to integrate writing skills into the accounting class. It also gives the students insight into real companies that they are familiar with and how the chapter topics relate to the real world.

The Encore section is good and interesting. It provides an example of how critical thinking is used in accounting to make real decisions.

3.0 out of 5 stars I have found this book to be a okay for college classes, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Financial and Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)

The book does a alright job of teaching students how to learn accounting. It lacks answers to which could definitly help students. The book's main advantage is that it has many real life examples that help students relate to accounting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well laid out, not a strain to follow or learn from., May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Financial and Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)

This book was real easy to pick up the accounting basics that the authors presented. The text is broken up with graphic presentations and real world examples which makes it easy on the eyes and the brain. At the end of every chapter is illustrative problems, discussion questions, multiple choice, exercises and chapter problems. When you've completed a chapter you really feel you know the material. Plus there are tons of internet stuff. Worth the money and cheaper than the other accounting book I was forced to buy.
