What are Ethics? Ethics in its
broader sense, deals with human conduct in relation to what is morally good and
bad, right and wrong. It is the application of values to
decision making. These values include honesty, fairness, responsibility,
respect and compassion."
Rushworth Kidder, President, Institute for Global Ethics

TIPS
FOR LEARNING: This method works
well for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t
really figure this out until my 5th year of my Masters
program. Like my masters level
courses, Accounting courses involves a lot of reading, especially in the
beginning. HOW
TO READ--WHAT'S YOUR STRATEGY?: Hint: It is not a good idea to begin
reading the text the night before the exam. . . . 1)Read the Learning Objectives (beginning of
chapter), the Decision Point (User’s Focus, this is to spark your
interest). 2) Go to
the end of the chapter and read the Chapter Review, as slowly as you can stand. Note concepts and unfamiliar words. 3) Take a look at the Homework exercises and
problems 4) Now you are ready to skim the chapter—note the
section headings, illustrations, key points, and financial statements used
for illustration. Don’t get bogged
down in this step! 5) Now (finally!) go back and read the chapter in
detail; you should be able to read faster since some of the concepts are now
more familiar to you. FINALLY, USE YOUR CLASSTIME
TO “test for understanding”. Did you
get the concepts? Can you do the
homework? Testing for understanding
assumes that you may have gotten the wrong idea occasionally. Allow yourself enough time to recover, if
you’ve gone down the wrong road! |
