Category: After a two day grind, I’ve finally finished the accounting review, and should now be caught up to where I was supposed to be on 7/20!
Like the Math Review, the Accounting Review is a CD of Flash presentations that cover basic accounting transactions, both journal entry and T-accounts. After introducing those concepts, the review moves on to the Trial Balance, Balance Sheets, Income Statements, Statement of Cash Flows, and a few other standard reports.
However, unlike the Math Review, it would appear that the Accounting CD is a newer vintage of video, which incorporates student interaction through mini-problems. This is a very nice touch, allowing the student to interact with the video, rather than just watch and listen. The presentations are also “intelligent” in that they check your work, and tell you if you got the problem right. Very cool! Here’s a screenshot:
Unfortunately, I suspect that I’ll need to review this CD again, to make sure I’ve got all of the concepts down. The CD itself suggests additional review in the final module, so these concepts must be really important. Of course, to quote one of my classmates ‘I’ve got an absurd amount of reading’ to do before I get to London, so I’ll get back to CD this once my other London pre-reading is completed!
Hey Randy,
Great posts. You and Syed will be glad to have done the accounting review. One thing I always tell people is that the ones who come to the residencies prepared always have the most fun. There are people who think they can cram on the plane, and they always miss out, because they need to cut the social or sleep time out of the week to compensate.
Take care,
Dan
