Study Guide to accompany Financial Accounting I think the study guide is more useful than the book. I find the book to be very dry and impossible to get through. The study guide in contrast narrows the focus and dispenses with the boring example sin the book. I only need the book for the quizzes in our class. I do all of the exercises in the study guide and have an A in the class. | ||
No theory what so ever The authors seem unaware of the fact that theory guides our understanding. There are no "objective" facts, yet the authors present all their findings as such with almost no reasoning attached. This is both arrogant and ignorant. The authors display no grasp of theoretical advances in Accounting and I recommend getting a book that has a better exposition of principles as more than practice | ||
wrong item I was going to get a book with a ISN number of 0072316373...But today, I got one with 0070412901... So I need you send my money beac to my account, and give me a well reason why you let the seller mail me a totally different book again, It is the second time I get an item with wrong number | ||
Gets to the point When I first took Financial Accounting, I was using Prentice Hall's Accounting textbook by Hongren. My prof was real anal-retentive and required us to read every chapter. To ensure this, he would quiz us on the contents of each chapter before we covered it in class. I spent so much time trying to wade through the excessive verbage in that book that I ended up not having any time left to do actual problems or sharpen up my practical skills. As a result, I ended up with a D in the class although I understood most of the concepts very well. When I took the course again over the summer, I had a different professor and he used this book. What a breath of fresh air! Meigs and company explain the accounting concepts just as thoroughly as Hongren but with about half the verbage. I breezed through my summer course and got the highest grade in the class. This book is an excellent teaching tool for beginners and would also make a great reference guide for more advanced students. | ||
CLEAR, EASY, STRAIGHTFORWARD This college accounting book is SO UNDERSTANDABLE--it uses PLAIN ENGLISH, doesn't give you a lot of hard to understand theoretical concepts like other accounting books. it gives you what you need to know in order to study accounting and in a format that you can understand. you can read thru 1 chapter easily since it only gives you what you NEED to know. it first gives objective questions in the front of the chapter and then summarizes the definitions for important words, phrases, and terminology at the end of each chapter. it's very practical in introducing you to real life accounting. SORRY--THIS REVIEW REFERS TO THE TEXT BOOK, NOT THE STUDY GUIDE. | ||
