Had to get it for a class Because it was a forced read, I didn't necessarily snuggle up to it each night. After my Accounting class ended, I kept it to refer back to for my business purposes and it is a helpful reference.
Great book with or without instructor I am using this book now for my accounting II class. I have done the first semester completely on my own using this book and took all the tests that were given to students just out of curiosity. I have scored over 97% each time. This semester I am taking this class as independent study showing up for only exams. I have done just as well taking 1/3 of the time to finish the exams. The chapters explain things very clearly. I love the demonstration problems workout out, and there are plenty of problems to do at the end of the chapter. I usually do all of them up to Problem Set B. Problem Set B is pretty much the same as Set A. By the time I am half way done with problems A, I know the material so well, I can do it in my sleep. I bought a used book so I never had a chance to check out the CD and do the tests online. It worked fine for me without all this extra stuff. I will be studying Intermediate accounting on my own with my choice of book. I will surely look into a book written by the same authors.
This is the most incompetent book I have ever opened Chapter 12 is titled "Accounting Principles" and has information that was required in chapter 1 but not fully explained. I can safely say that when I am done with this class I would NEVER put this on my bookshelf. Just to put your reservations about my integrity, I got an A in both accounting courses that required this text. It is so poorly written and has the semblance of a village idiot with ADHD running off at the mouth. The level of incompetence in the entire book is so great I was astonished at it being printed. The other "optional" books are equally sickening. The cost is so high for such trash. I will avoid any class that requires a text from the Wiley Publishing Group. My school is retiring the book next spring. I can only assume it is due to the gross incompetence of the text.
Pretty Good Book... Any books covering a heavy topic like accounting must be entertaining, informative and layed out properly so that the reader can follow along without too many problems. This book does all that and more, by providing real-life examples and lots of information regarding the application of accounting. Good shipping & great price directly from amazon.
A Comprehensive Approach to Accounting This book is very comprehensive and helpful to a student of accounting. It employs excellent examples and detailed exercises to reinforce the material covered in the book.
