Yay! Finished!
I got an email today from my accounting professor. It said that he had put up the class schedule and syllabus online and that we should print those and bring them along to class. Great, fine. That's all well and good. Then he mentioned what accounting book we needed; I already knew that and had long since bought the book. He also said that since the class only meets once a week, we'll be going through a minimum of one chapter at every meeting. And we should have the readings done ahead of time so as to be able to follow the lecture (duh, right?). Then I looked at the class schedule which said that on our very first meeting day, we'd be going through all of chapter one and part of chapter two which totalled the first 53 pages of the textbook. So, basically my accounting professor just sent out 53 pages of assigned reading homework that needs to be completed before we even have our first class meeting. *Sigh.*
But, I spent all day reading about assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity (which consist of common stock and retained earnings), depreciations, dividends, all things "payable" and "recievable", operating activities, investing activities, and fincing activities, all sorts of financial statements (Income Statements, Retained Earning Statements, Balance Sheets, and Statement of Cash Flows) and the notes associated with them (Management Discussion and Analysis, Notes to the Financial Statements, and the Auditor's Report), etc., and now I'm finished! In all honesty, though, as fun as it is to complain about, it was actually kind of uber-cool stuff. |
