For Principle of Accounting Courses The winning combination of respected authors and a traditional framework has made the Horngren/Harrison, Accounting text THE trusted choice for instructors and students for Principles of Accounting. In the new Accounting 8th Edition, Charles Horngren and Tom Harrison have invited Suzanne Oliver, a loyal Accounting user and community college instructor, to join the already solid author team. Suzanne Oliver's extensive knowledge of prior editions, varied classroom experience and authoring of MyAccountingLab content and instructor resources make her an invaluable asset to the team and the series. Working together on the revision, the authors preserved the classic, solid foundation of the text while adding a modern Table of Contents and fresh new teaching approach to make accounting accessible to ALL of today’s students in ALL varied classrooms. This NEW edition further strengthens the textbook component of the Student Learning System and provides consistency for students throughout the text, the study resources and MyAccountingLab. Why OUR Student Learning System? Students understand (or “get it”) right after you do a problem in class. However, as soon as they leave class, their ability to do the problems and complete their homework diminishes with each passing hour. Often, this results in students struggling to complete their homework on their own. Even worse, the frustration can lead to students quitting on the material altogether and falling behind in the course. As a result, an entire class can fall behind as instructors attempt to keep everyone on the same page. With the Accounting 8e Student Learning System, all features of the student textbook, study resources and online homework system are designed to work together to provide students with more “I Get It!” moments, especially outside the classroom where they struggle the most. The consistency, repetition and strong details throughout the entire student learning system replicate the classroom experience to allow students to achieve success both inside and outside the classroom while keeping both instructors and students on track. About the Author The powerful author team of the Horngren/Harrison franchise is comprised of Charles Horngren and Tom Harrison. Both highly respected professors in academia and in the accounting industry, they joined together to write a text to provide students with a solid foundation of the principles of accounting. Accounting was the first text to tie accounting concepts to the business reasons behind them. Charles and Tom recognized that most students will USE accounting information, not simply create it. In Accounting, the authors talk to the business person or the USER of the accounting information, which engages the non-major, business student. Over the years, the Accounting franchise became a trusted, tried and true choice for instructors who wanted their students to learn accounting with the traditional framework but with modern application. For the 8th edition, Horngren and Harrison invited Suzanne Oliver to join the already solid author team. Suzanne Oliver brings her detailed knowledge of the series from her years of active use of the text in her courses and also as an author of the MyAccountingLab content and instructor resources. In addition, Suzanne contributes an invaluable element of her teaching experience at community colleges and in varied classroom environments (traditional, hybrid and online). Together, the author team’s goal was to retain the traditional, solid accounting foundation of the text while adding a modern Table of Contents and fresh new approach to reach today’s students. This revision of the text further strengthens the textbook component of the Student Learning System and provides consistency for students throughout the text, the study resources and MyAccountingLab.
