Financial Accounting
by Wayne Thomas Don Herrmann David SpicelandDon’t you love those moments in your course when students are fully engaged? When the “Aha!” revelations are bursting like fireworks? The authors have developed a unique set of materials based directly on their collective years in the classroom. They’ve brought together best practices by (1) building an Organized Learning Framework for Financial Accounting, (2) reinforcing the Framework in each chapter’s text and end-of-chapter assignments, and (3) enriching that Framework using real-world companies, Excel assignments, General Ledger problems, data analytics tools, and a variety of auto-graded cases. The material is communicated in a student-friendly, concise and conversational writing style. After the proven success of the first five editions of Financial Accounting, we are confident that the sixth edition will not only motivate, engage, and challenge students—it will illuminate the financial accounting course like never before.
Financial Accounting
by Robert Libby Patricia Libby Frank HodgeLibby/Libby/Hodge wrote this text based on their belief that the subject of financial accounting is inherently interesting, but financial accounting textbooks are often not. They believe that accounting is an exciting field of study and one that is important to future careers in business. When writing this text, they considered career relevance as their guide when selecting material, and the need to engage the student as their guide to style, pedagogy, and design. Financial Accounting 11e successfully implements a real-world, single focus company approach in every chapter. The companies chosen are engaging and the decision-making focus shows the relevance of financial accounting regardless of if a student has chosen to major in accounting. Libby/Libby/Hodge believes in the building-block approach to teaching transaction analysis. Most faculty agree that mastery of the accounting cycle is critical to success in financial accounting, and yet most financial texts introduce and develop transaction analysis in one chapter, bombarding a student early in the course with an overload of new concepts and terms. The authors slow down the introduction of transactions, giving students time to practice and gain mastery. This building-block approach leads to greater student success in their study of later topics in financial accounting such as adjusting entries.
