Whether a student is taking the course in preparation for a four-year degree or as the first step to a career in business, Haddock/Price/Farina guides them over the bridge to success. Throughout the text, the authors have adhered to a common philosophy about textbooks: they should be readable, contain many opportunities for practice, and be able to make accounting relevant for all.
Encourages Reading The authors’ writing style and clear step-by-step examples make key concepts easy to grasp. College Accounting’s concise chapters are broken into manageable sections to avoid overwhelming students who might be seeing the material for the first time. Features like the Business Transaction Analysis Model make it easy for students to see how to analyze business transactions. The Important and Recall margin elements briefly highlight important concepts and remind students of key term definitions as the topics begin to build on each other.
Emphasizes Practice Self reviews at the end of each section give students the opportunity to practice what they’ve just learned before moving on to the next topic. The author-created end-of-chapter material includes A and B problem sets, exercises, critical thinking problems, and Business Connection problems that utilize real-world companies and scenarios and address important topics like ethics. Mini-practice sets included within the text itself allow students to put theory into practice without paying additional money for a separate practice set.
Answers the Question “Why Is Accounting Important?” The “Why Its Important” explanation that accompanies each learning objective explains to students why the topics they’re studying matter. Well-known companies like Google, Southwest, and Ikea are used in vignettes and examples throughout the text, making a clear bridge for students between the concepts they’re learning and how those concepts are applied in the real world.
