A Tough, Time Consuming 5 Unit Course • It may seem like a lot of busy work, but accounting
requires lots of practice to really understand what is happening and why
• You should take 15 seconds and reflect after each exercise is performed successfully
• Why is it important and how does it fit into the accounting cycle?
• Once you get it, you have it for life and you can apply accounting to any of your pursuits and passions
• The first four chapters are the most important • The math for the most part is not that tough • Everyone can succeed as long as you put in the time and
effort • So let’s get it done, this semester!
