Introductory Accounting: Changing the First Course.
Pincus, Karen V.
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n61 p89-98 Spr 1995
A new approach to introductory accounting at the University of Southern California teaches students to view issues from varied perspectives, broadens exposure to unstructured problems with more than one solution approach, and places accounting in real-world context. It has increased enrollment and persistence and attracted new students to the major. (Author/MSE)
