Gain exposure to the ethical responsibility of accountants and to emphasize writing skills for accountants. Be prepared to spend many hours in solving homework problems. Time and effort are just as important as the correct solution. Accounting is something that usually has to be experienced to gain the most from it, although some memorization is essential, too. One cannot learn to play the piano by merely reading and memorizing from a book.
Accounting works the same way.
For most chapters, students should expect to spend a minimum of 4 to 6 hours working on their homework assignment. Homework is due at the end of class on the last day spent on each chapter, unless otherwise directed by your instructor. Homework is to be done in pencil, with any subsequent corrections made in class to be done in ink. This allows the instructor to see the efforts made out of class and to evaluate student progress. Student errors will automatically be highlighted in ink for your preparation for exams.
