| Additional Comments |
If you want to do well in this class, be prepared to spend a lot of time and effort. You will be doing accounting homework every weekend of the semester! This class is known (not officially) as the weed-out class. You have to be willing to do the work (without complaining) to finish this class and move on in accounting!
Dr. Ross is an excellent professor. He really knows the material and can do the problems without looking at his "cheat sheet" (unlike Dr. Magner). He really makes the class fun. The class isn't a lot of lecture...basically you do problems the whole time with a little background info. I honestly feel like I learned something from this class and will retain the info longer than ten seconds!
There is a 25 point quiz over each chapter, approximately one per week. They are difficult and require a lot of work. In my opinion, it is important that you DO the quizzes on your own. Then compare your answers with others in the class. If you don't, it is highly unlikely that you will get all of these questions correct.
There is also a 60 point group project. You pick your own group. This project covers Chapters 3-5 (basically a review of ACCT 200). It is difficult, but if he can see that you have actually worked on it, Dr. Ross will point out things you should look at again.
There are four MC exams (including the final). These exams are worth 360 points and each cover three chapters. Each chapter contains 15 questions. Approximately half of these questions are conceptual and the other half computational (problem-solving). Tests are held outside of class time (because you CANNOT usually finish them in less than three hours).
This class is very difficult (though most thought 310 was more difficult). To do well, you have to do the work and spend time working on the material. As a perpetual procrastinator, I had to change my ways for this class. You shouldn't wait until the last minute to start working on the quizzes or studying.
Difficult and tedious as this class has been, it as been one of my favorites. I would take Dr. Ross again if given the opportunity!
