Abstract

An Accounting Practice Set that provided immediate feedback was developed in an attempt to accelerate the acquisition of accounting skills by students. A number of metrics were used to measure student engagement in the practice set and to measure if students did acquire accounting skills more rapidly. While results to this stage are still preliminary, through the analysis of Phase One it does appear that many students can gain significant benefit from the practice set. However, there are still a portion of the students that have not engaged.
