Interactive Modules in Accounting: Mary Billings, Accounting

For each key business question in this course, students watch a walk-through video examining a real life example of the question and relevant accounting principles and procedures. They then complete an interactive exercise where they apply the procedures from the walk-through to a new company. The interactive activity provides guidance and feedback on the student’s choices and links back to the video walkthrough when students need help completing their analysis.
