I took BA 211 Financial Accounting in Spring 2012. The textbook for this class is Accounting, 9th ed. by Horngren. A total of three copies of the print textbook are available on reserve at Hamersly Library for BA 211 and BA 213. My professor (Mahony) also requires students to use a course site hosted on Pearson’s MyAccountingLab e-learning system for homework assignments, which requires additional online payment or purchase of an access code.
The BA 211 syllabus shows that we will be covering only chapters 1-11 of the 24 chapter textbook in this class. This textbook is also used for BA 213 Managerial Accounting. Thus, the purchase cost of the textbook applies to two courses/terms for students planning to take both Financial and Managerial Accounting in reasonably quick succession at WOU.
Recommendations:
1. Select the option to get temporary free access (covers the first 3 weeks) to the online course site + eText when you register for the online course site at Pearson MyLab/Mastering using the Course ID that was distributed in class. That will allow you to see if the electronic version of the textbook will meet your needs and buy some time to explore options for obtaining a print copy of the textbook if you decide you want one.
2. When you’re sure you’re not going to drop the class:
Purchase access to the online course site directly from the site for $65.
If you want to purchase a print copy of the textbook, or if you are planning to take BA 213 soon, check out the option under Course Home, Purchase Options to “purchase a physical textbook at a discount” directly from Pearson’s online store. For $75, you can purchase an unbound edition of the textbook (with free ground shipping). The content is the same as the hardcover print edition, and it arrives shrink-wrapped and three-hole punched, so that you can put it in a standard three-ring binder.
If you prefer an e-textbook, you can purchase online and iPad-compatible access to the eText for the term for $65 from the online course site.
Contact Shirley (lincics@wou.edu) if you’d like help with any of these purchase options.
Five weeks done, five weeks to go in BA 211 – Financial Accounting. Things are going well so far. After some initial hiccups while I learned the peculiarities of the interface, I’m doing well completing homework assignments hosted on MyAccountingLab. It took me about 40 minutes to complete today’s mid-term exam, completed using traditional pencil and paper. Largely thanks to good review and practice provided by Prof. Mahony during the last two class sessions, the exam had no surprises, and I felt very well-prepared. I now feel very confident in my knowledge of fundamental concepts including: the accounting equation, debits and credits, financial reports for external review, and the accounting cycle. Even if I never do accounting myself, this knowledge will be useful in interpreting financial statements when doing (or helping students to do) company research.
