Description

Features

For courses in Introductory Accounting.

This programmed text has a proven format that involves a unique reversal of pages in the later chapters.  This design was conceived as a way to allow the answer column to always appear in th right margin.  The book is completed front to back, then inverted and completed back to front.

Q.Do you want your students to understand more information in less class time?

A.The leading programmed text in accounting, Essentials of Accounting is a self-teaching, self-paced introduction to financial accounting for active users of business data. It features a "split-page" design where students 1) cover the right-hand side of the page, 2) work problems on the left-hand side, and 3) then check their workbook.

Examples: pg. XX and YY

Q. Are you looking to free up class time to cover concepts versus baseline information on the balance sheets and income statements?

A.  Essentials of Accounting, 9/e presents the ideas and terminology essential to an understanding of balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows.  An ideal introduction/review, this supplemental text frees up professors from at least five class sessions in a conventional first course in accounting.
