The book has excellent problems generally geared to majors in accounting or finance. The presentation includes exercises and problem sets from basic to more advanced forms including the all-important fact patterns which require a critical thinking mindset to arrive at a defensible solution.
Ideally, students should read the chapters before class so that a rigorous discussion of the material can follow. This text is geared for more advanced students who prepare thoroughly for class. Sometimes, this course is offered with a problem set lab so that students can solve problems in a small group structure while being supervised by a senior lab attendant. Students who utilize this book and encounter problems should engage a tutor to assist with the material.
Many community and even full four year colleges offer tutoring from the senior-level students who've had the core courses and completed them with decent grades. There is no such thing as a perfect accounting textbook which can be read like a belles lettres short story or novel. Generally speaking, accounting texts require a careful reading in consultation with the teacher and even small groups of students assembled in a peer group relationship.
