What is the one thing you want your students to get out of this course? Is it to master the accounting cycle, prepare for the principles course, or to perform better in the work place?

This edition of Slater has been completely retooled to allow you and your students to focus on "getting back to basics." The emphasis on the accounting cycle, cleaned up design, and the addition of new assessment tools paired with Slater's unique Learning Unit approach, allow for a greater focus on the fundamentals or basics of accounting. So, no matter if your goals are to nail the accounting cycle, or to prepare your students for principles of accounting or the work place, Slater 10/e can get you there.

How do you think margin space in textbooks should be used?

 

The new edition of Slater has new revised clutter free design, allowing the students to focus on what matters--THE BASICS. You will occasionally see Margin Notes, but these have been designed to be Short and Sweet and to the point.  These notes are not on every page and only appear when a study hint is really needed, leaving the rest of the margin free for note taking and problem solving.

If you were to use a Practice Set, how would you use one in this course? 

 

Slater provides an In-Text Practice Set: The Sullivan Realty Practice Set found in Chapter 5 enables students to complete 2 cycles of transactions (in your choice of manual or Peachtree/QuickBooks) format which allows students to apply what they have learned in a real on the job scenario.
