building-block approach to teaching transaction
analysis. Most faculty agree that mastery of the
accounting cycle is critical to success in financial accounting.
And yet all other financial books introduce and develop
transaction analysis in one chapter, bombarding a student early
in the course with an overload of new concepts and terms. The
authors believe that most faculty take more time with the
accounting cycle, but other financial accounting textbooks don't.
By slowing down the introduction of transactions and giving
students time to practice and gain mastery, this building-block
approach leads to greater student success in their study of later
topics in financial accounting such as adjusting entries.
