The depth of the content for each subject area is very appropriate for a principles of accounting textbook and the text is very easy to read. The clarity is one of this book's strongest points. It can be easily comprehended by an entry level accounting student. The videos are easy to watch, and provide a decent introduction to each chapter, but do not add much to the ease of understanding the material.
Very consistent. The framework is very solid and predictable, and the vocabulary is easy to understand. Technical terms are explained in plain English, with few, but good examples. Topics are will divided and covered without a lot of boring reading about each. Each chapter is short and is well divided into even smaller sections.
One of the strengths of this text is that the student is not overwhelmed with pages and pages of extraneous information. Other than the placement of Chapter 6 on Auditing, the rest of the text is in a very logical order. Each topic is presented in a clear, logical way.
The author stars each section with a question, and then proceeds to answer the question. This makes the topic easier to understand. Although I question the placement of chapter 6, I am glad the author includes the topic in the text, and am really not sure exactly where I believe it should be covered. I did not find any significant interface issues. There are places where the alignment of numbers is a little out of skew, for example a row of "credits" is not perfectly straight, but not in a manner that they were misleading.
There is no clear effort to be "inclusive", but certainly nothing that is culturally insensitive in the text. This is accounting material. Social issues are not addressed, but nothing offensive was noted. The only real weakness in the text is just that it is not updated for more recent changes in accounting principles.
If the instructor is willing to cover these, the text is very easy for the student to read and to comprehend. The table of contents is very different than two standard textbooks I am currently using or used recently.
It is difficult to understand d exactly what topics are being covered using the table of contents. A separate chapter on financial Comprehensiveness rating: 1 see less. A separate chapter on financial statement analysis should be added, or each chapter should incorporate these concepts.
The ethical aspects of decision making need to be more fully addressed. The end of the chapter homework problems need to be increased not only in number but also increased complexity. While what is presented seems accurate, there seems to be a definite lack of substance. Each topic needs to be developed in depth. The international financial reporting standards need to be included either in a separate chapter or preferably incorporated incorporated into each chapter.
The text does flow in a logical manner, but it is difficult to get the "big picture" from the way the text and individual chapters are organized.
It might be very difficult for someone with no accounting background to learn from the text. The online quizzes provide and excellent way for students to monitor their learning. However, the number of these quizzes and the complexity of the quizzed need to be increased. The text seems to be written at a level much higher than the principles level. Students likely would have a difficult understanding of the purpose and use of accounting information.
By far, the weakest aspect of this text is the lack ancillary materials. My department relies heavily on the online graded homework systems. While I do not use many of the supporting materials, such as Power Points, many of my colleagues do and this would be a definite reason the text would not be adopted.
Good over-all coverage No glossary Index fair--could be more descriptive read more. Comprehensiveness rating: 3 see less. Well written but somewhat hard to follow. The flow from one item to the next is somewhat muddled. The text does have some self-referencing. Presenting only certain sub-units might require some work.
The presentation of corporations could be better advantages, disadvantages, sub-chapter S, etc. Th end of chapter questions should be linked to the sections in the test where the material can be found. Overall, well written with excellent points made in the discussion. The "Key Takeaways" and the chapter tests were very good. The lack of a glossary and the need for a better index were the key distractors.
No index or glossary. The overall picture is presented well, but not enough emphasis on the basic mechanics of accounting The overall picture is presented well, but not enough emphasis on the basic mechanics of accounting that we need to give our two-year students.
In my present course, I do cover several topics,such as interst and compound interest, in more depth. The last eight chapters emphasis the financial statements, where I need to cover the basics of creating the financial statements in more depth.
Accounting information changes little from year to year. The examples given could be easily updated as needed. There was good discussion in some areas of what might be changing in the future. Parts are excellent, but some areas include too much discussion to get to the main points; I prefer a more factual presentation. Some of the questions used to introduce the new topic were very involved; my students would not understand the question or find it helpful. I would need additional exercise material to allow the students more practice on the material presented.
The authors were very consistent in their approach to the topics. Download as many books as you like Personal use Cancel the membership at any time if not satisfied.
