Revision Notes for Intermediate Accounting, 2nd Edition - Page 4 preview image2PrefaceIntermediate accounting involves a significant jump in depth and breadth of materialrelative to introductory accounting. The quantity and difficulty of some of the topics canbe overwhelming for both students to understand and for instructors to deliver. This texttakes into account these significant challenges by (i) using straight-forward language, (ii)streamlining as much as possible the content within and between chapters, and (iii)helping students understand the “why” behind the “how” of accounting.Essential to (iii) are the first three chapters of Volume 1, which lay out a number ofthreshold concepts. (In the remainder of this resource manual, these threshold conceptswill be in bold font.) Chapter 1 introduces students to the fundamentals of financialaccounting theory. While many accounting programs examine financial accountingtheory in some depth, this coverage usually occurs near the end of the program. WhileChapter 1 does not replace an entire course on accounting theory, students will benefitfrom being introduced to financial accounting theory at the beginning of intermediateaccounting so that they can see its application in various contexts.Chapters 2 and 3 build on the foundation provided in the first chapter. Chapter 2 explainsthe conceptual frameworks for financial reporting in the context of the supply anddemand of information, a concept that naturally follows from Chapter 1. Chapter 3 thenleads students to understand the more specific way that we prepare financial reports—using accrual accounting. This chapter emphasizes that the issue of timing in accrualaccounting is not just a minor issue, but rather that timing is everything.The remaining chapters in volume 1 (4 through 10) then go through specific issuesrelating to the four key financial statements. Chapter 4 covers revenues and expenses inthe statement of comprehensive income. The remainder of Volume 1, Chapters 5 to 10,covers the asset side of the balance sheet.Continuing with the balance sheet, Volume 2 begins with the coverage of liabilities inChapters 11 and 12. Chapter 13 covers equities and the statement of equity. Chapter 14 to18 cover special topics that have broader implications in the balance sheet and statementof comprehensive income. These topics are complex financial instruments, earnings pershare, accounting for income taxes, pensions, and leases. Chapter 19 covers the statementof cash flow and Chapter 20 covers accounting changes.

Revision Notes for Intermediate Accounting, 2nd Edition - Page 14 preview imagePreface12STUDENT HANDOUTTips on how to use the resources and online tools to get an A in this class:■READ the chapter.Yes, I know it’s hard, but it’s an important 30 minutes to an hourspent in learning this material.■WATCH the Demo Docs.Right after reading, view the interactive multi-mediademo docs for the chapter.■PRACTISE homework online.Sure it makes sense when your professor goes overthe assignment—they’ve been doing this for a long time. There is no substitute fordoing problems/exercises. That’s how you learn accounting. And the onlinehomework assignments are algorithmic, so they are already set up for you to practiseproblems until you “get it.”■STUDY in groups.Creating study groups is a great way to expand your learning.These groups will not only increase your number of resources to go to for help, butthey also create a sort of accountability that will help keep you on track for success.■Learn WHY as well as HOW.Sure the “how” to do it is a big part of accounting,but if you can learn why you are doing a particular accounting task, it will be mucheasier to perform the task.■RELATE topics to your personal life or job.The best way to ensure youunderstand a topic is to apply it to your life or job.■ASK questions.When online, use the “Ask my instructor” button to ask specifichomework questions at the point you have them. Also, ask questions while in class.Don’t assume you are the only one who doesn’t understand. Your questions help youand other students learn.

Revision Notes for Intermediate Accounting, 2nd Edition - Page 15 preview imagePreface13Tips for Taking Your Course from Traditional to Hybrid,Blended, or Online1.Don’t try to take the “entire” course online in one semester.Decide on a two-semester strategy for implementation, implementing graded online homework FIRST. Byonly implementing the homework portion of the online solution, you don’t overwhelmyourself with having to learn every piece of the online component in one semester,regardless of whether it is MyAccountingLab or some other solution. Additionally, thisallows you the flexibility to add other graded assignments later that first semester, if youchoose.2.Define homework by chapter in your syllabi, rather than identifying specificexercises or problems. During the first semester, as you and your students getaccustomed to the online resources, you may need to be more flexible. Further, this getsyour students used to looking “online” for their assignments.3.Schedule one day in class in a computer lab (or some class time, if you can’t getinto a computer lab), to demonstrate.This allows you to gain a “captive audience” sothat you can show the class some of the resources you want them to use. It also allowsyou to highlight some of the resources that they may find useful in their learning.4.Use MyAccountingLab’s static/book match problems to demonstrate in classproblems or exercises.This is a good way to not only save you time in setting up inclass assignments, but also demonstrates to the student the completion ease of theMyAccountingLab homework solution. I set up a “static” course that has all the bookmatch problems in it and use that course for demonstrating this in class.5.Same as Item 4, except using only the Excel spreadsheets.Have the students printout the Excel or PDF worksheets for book match/static questions before covering thematerial in class. Again, this establishes the online centre as the “go to” place for studentsto glean information.6.The first assignments I give after demonstrating the online login/registration aresubmitted via their online e-mail account.For this, I use the “e-mail students option”from the gradebook. I submit their first assignment via e-mail to try inmyaccountinglab.com. This is a “bonus” points only assignment; the students are eager totry online tools (no penalty—only bonus point reward) and it gets them registered morequickly in myaccountinglab.com. I suggest using something like the built-in pre-testchapter questions.7.Have students give each other feedback.One of the problems with teaching online isthat giving feedback to all of your students all the time can quickly get out of control. Theway to deal with this is to have students give the initial drafts of their papers to otherstudents for feedback. You give a grade to the feedback based on how helpful the original
Page 16 of 16
Revision Notes for Intermediate Accounting, 2nd Edition - Page 16 preview imagePreface14author finds it. Then you only have to review papers one time, and many of the problemsshould be worked out before you see them.8.Set up discussion forums. You might, for example, ask a critical thinking question onone of the key chapter topics. Your students will have a certain amount of time to (1) postan answer to your question, and (2) post a response or comment on the answer of anotherstudent. You can offer extra credit for the “best” response.Alternatively, you might ask students to answer one of the end-of-chapter or additionalonline questions/case problems within a set period of time. The first one to respond canget an extra credit point. The first student who “adds value” to the answer can also get anextra point.
