Don't you love those moments in your course when students are fully engaged? When the Aha! revelations are bursting like fireworks?
The Financial Accounting author team has developed a concise and well-organized learning framework to show students that accounting consists of three major processes: measuring, communicating, and decision-making. By consistently tying each lesson into this framework, instructors can significantly improve student engagement and outcomes.
For the fifth edition, the authors have retained popular digital features such as General Ledger Problems, Excel Simulations, and algorithmic end-of-chapter questions, while also including new content based on skills today's students need. New features in the fifth edition include Applying Excel problems, enhancing decision maker's content by developing auto-graded cases, and expanding video content with new Concept Overview Videos.
Building on the success of the first four editions of Financial Accounting, the fifth edition will motivate, engage, and challenge students. Paired with the market-leading power of the Connect platform, Spiceland-Thomas-Herrmann Financial Accounting will truly illuminate the financial accounting course for each student.
