Intermediate Accounting August 31, 2010 Lighteffexor A great textbook that does an excellent job explaining Accounting Science.
Please respect the work and research of the author.
Great Book for a Difficult Subject August 26, 2010 E. Brown (Kansas City, MO) I attend Liberty University online and this is the book they use for Intermediate Accounting I & II. As others have noted, there is no homework ID included (my school doesn't use it anyway), but there are a lot of resources on the book's website at [...] such as narrated slides, practice quizzes, ipod content, etc. and it's all free (these are especially useful in studying for exams). Also, my school gives the solutions to the end of chapter exercises and you can probably find these online as well.
In my opinion, the wording the authors use can be confusing...they don't explain in plain everyday English, the language is very formal and sometimes I find myself reading a sentence or paragraph 3 or 4 times to understand what they're trying to say; however, the text accurately explains all subjects it covers in detail. Another aspect I like about this book is that it repeats concepts over and over throughout the text to really drive the point home and so you understand how the concepts work together as they build on the subject matter and I think that understanding concepts is the most important thing. Computerized accounting takes out a lot of the figuring steps when you are actually working in accounting, but if you understand the concepts you are golden.
I've heard that Intermediate Accounting is the hardest of all accounting classes and so far it seems to be true. I am taking Intermediate Accounting II and Cost Accounting right now and Cost Accounting has been a breeze compared to Intermediate. I did get an A in Intermediate Accounting I (by 1 point!)and I didn't really work a lot of the exercise problems, but I did take my time and read and understood the text as best I could. I think if you read this text, then view the slides on the website and work a few of the problems in each chapter, you should do well in this difficult accounting course. Overall, I think this is a very good text for Intermediate Accounting.
A detailed text book August 13, 2010 R. Smith (Sacramento, CA) It's a clear written textbook overall. It has chapter review problems with answer keys which is really helpful to test whether you have mastered the material or not. The book is written with long sentences, so I have to read each sentence 2,3 times before I could understand the meaning. I spent averagely 3 hours to read each chapter, but I did learn something from it. So I think this is a good book.
The book was never shipped!! July 29, 2010 simygirl 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered two text books same night and only one came. Be aware of this vendor!! Now I have to start all over again and buy the book..a month later.
great book June 23, 2010 Jine Liu (Sacramento, CA,USA) This book covers 3 courses I need to take. It's a great book with detail explanations and examples. This book is even better than some teachers' teaching.
