...EFFECTS OF TAKING QUALIFYING EXAMINATION TO THIRD YEAR ACCOUNTANCY STUDENTS CHAPTER 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction Examination is one of the best ways to prove whether a student, or anyone who undergoes learning, learned something from what they have studied. Exam results can show in which lesson the students were not able to fully understand and what they were able to. But does this result help the student improve in their studies, and how those this results affect them, especially if the result will determine whether they stay on their chosen fields? Qualifying Examination is given to B.S Accountancy students in order to test whether they are qualified to continue the program and to improve their academic performance. It is in fact a policy set by the school to all programs that have board examinstions. Another reason why this examination is given to students is for them to be prepared for the licensure examination they are to take after graduating in college. Through this, the students will be able to review their past subject. Students will have a preview of what the board examination would be like after graduating, the stress they might encounter and the pressure of all the subjects that they will have to review. As a school policy, Qualifying Examination is given to students who will be able to pass all the Fundamentals of Accounting and all the Financial Accounting subjects of the accounting course. The exam is divided in two parts, the first part...

...After reading the two assigned papers, my initial reaction is the behavior response findings of Pop-Eleches and Urquiola (2013) complicate the results from Abdulkadiroglu et al. (2014), which finds that student’s near the threshold for qualifying for elite exam schools do not receive a significant “value add” when surpassing the cut off scores. If, as Pop-Eleches and Urquiola (2013) find, those students who are barely on passing side of the threshold find themselves experiencing negative behavioral effects, such as decreased family time investment in their own education or an inferiority complex relative to their classmates, one would expect the peer effect impact on outcomes to be negatively biased towards zero. Despite the fact that Abdulkadiroglu et al....

...INTRODUCTION The learner brings an accumulation of assumptions, motives, intentions, and previous knowledge that envelopes every teaching/learning situation and determines the course and quality of learning that may take place Biggs’s understanding of the determining influences students may have on the teaching/learning environment . and it said to be that assumptions, motives, intentions, and previous knowledge that the students have may influence student success. Many students face considerable difficulty in successfully completing accounting. The amount of material typically covered is substantial and the course requires of the student a significant increase in motivation, analytical ability, and academic effort over the usual principles. Factors that are beyond the control of students but may affect their academic performance include institutional issues such as fast changing environment, large class size and heavy teaching load for the instructor. There may also be limited availability of supplemental instruction or tutoring assistance. All of these factors may adversely affect the probability of student success in understanding accounting. The purpose of this study is to investigate some of the factors that may influence student academic performance in accounting. Identifying the factors that are positively related to performance should enhance faculty understanding of the problems related to student failure in accounting. In addition, identifying these factors...

...An Act that is Lowering Moral The No Child Left behind Act (NCLB) was put into effect by George W. Bush in 2001. The purpose of this act is to improve education and allow for all children to have equal opportunity to advance in their careers post high school. Early in this transgression there are several negative consequences already. The creators incorporate too many regulations, which cause inefficiency and counter-productiveness. Improvement is based on standardized tests that cannot measure intelligence wholly. Treating children as if they learn at the same rate does not help all students use their critical thinking skills. The act aims to close the achievement gap and allows for “no child to be left behind”, but it is not simply a one size fits all ordeal. Everyone has different experiences of learning at their fullest potential. America is failing with this provision and it will greatly affect the future of the country. Every state is directly involved with the make-up of the test; in which case some states make their exams significantly easier. The NCLB founders are advocates for transporting children who reach qualifying test exams to different schools with hopes of better teachers. Students that are better test takers get the opportunity to have free transportation to non-failing schools, but they are not supporting their local communities. Legislation is overbearing in their influence with this act and it affects the amount of resources spent on limited subjects and...

...Chapter 1: Statement of the Problem & Review of Related Literature INTRODUCTION The Bachelor of Science in Accounting Technology (BSAT) is a program that prepares students for a career in the accounting and finance divisions of organizations in the private and public sectors. The accounting courses in the program, combined with business management courses, equip students with the needed skills, proficiency, and intellectual abilities to lead successful careers. But, unlike Accountancy, BSAT is a non-board course. However, the graduates of the said program can take the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) Examination for license. This study aims to determine the reasons and causes why BSA students end up getting BSAT degree instead of Accountancy degree. We, researchers, will investigate on the factors affecting the students focus in studying. We will be conducting survey in the form of questionnaires and interviews with 3rd year and 4th year BSAT students of Araullo University – Phinma Education Network. There are many factors that affect a BSA student to fail: his abilities, his interest in the course, the teaching method, the classroom, lack of personal direction, pressure from parents or peers, laziness, lack of confidence, family or relationship problems. Another factor that is going to be stressed out in our study is the retention policy being imposed in the accountancy program. It will be explained here how this policy affect each and every BSA student; what...

...The Accountancy program remains as one of the toughest courses offered in the Philippines. Every year, two board examinations take place–one in May and one in October. The said exam usually reaches a mere 50% passing rate making it one of the most probable hardest board exams currently present in the country. Also present in this program are the zero-based grading systems, grade retention policies, and qualifying exams that screen the abilities of students. Because of these grueling challenges, individuals may suffer from mental strain and tension. Being involved in the Accountancy program not only brings sleepless nights and tons of readings but it also brings stress–the main cause of anxiety. Stress is something that causes strong feeling...

...Client Understanding Paper Judy Blackman ACC/541 August 1, 2011 Kenneth Quirk client understanding 1 I want to thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your organization on this important project. As I was analyzing the papers provided, I realized that additional information was needed. It was brought to my attention that you are unclear about why the additional information was requested on the adjusting lower cost of market inventory on valuation, the capitalizing interest on building construction, the recording of gains or losses on asset disposal, and the adjusting goodwill for impairment. The adjusting lower cost of market inventory on valuation is specified in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 (ARB No. 43). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34 is the statement, which deals with capitalization of interest as part of the cost of the asset. SFAS No. 144 addresses the reporting and accounting for the impairment of the disposal of long-lived assets (Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board, n.d.). New rules for the accounting for goodwill has been addressed in SFAS No. 142. I will be explaining each of these items in full detail. I will include the accounting principles and practices in hopes of improving your organization's practices and knowledge from this analysis.

...have trained in a Baccalaureate degree (BSN). Though nurses getting these degrees have their differences in preparation, nurses earning these degrees have adequate theoretical and clinical learning experiences. The license qualifying examination for many states- National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) - does not differentiate between ADN and BSN degree prepared nurses and allows nurses with both degrees to take the licensing examination after completion of the degree regardless of the educational background of the applicant. The differences in competencies between nurses prepared with an ADN compared to those prepared with a BSN include the quality of training and duration of the course. From research shown in many well published studies and from my own practice, I feel that such differences in training create various approaches to patient management in similar clinical situations and hence do have a variable effect on patient outcomes. Nurses with an ADN or a BSN have distinctive differences in their preparation to get their degree. Nurses with an ADN obtain their degree through attending community colleges, nursing schools, or other 4 year colleges or even online (Mahaffey 2002). This short duration degree (ADN) permits nurses to sit for NCLEX exam and become a Registered Nurse (RN) with comparatively reduced tuition and time but the course is intense. When it comes to nursing education, such courses usually emphasize clinical skills which are very task centered (Shipman...
