Acct 317
How hard is it to get an A in accounting 317. if someone wants to do this in Irvines class how much time and effort should I put in? I hear hes a really good proff.
I have coms 363, Stats 217, Accounting 317, East 317 and Linguitics 201. I'm looking for A's or A- in these classes since I want to transfer into business.

The year I transferred into business I ended up with an A in coms, A- in Acct 317, A in Stats 217. I would say you should be prepared to put in a pretty solid effort in all of them as they are very work intensive.
Irvine is a great prof but he does not hand out As. I had him for audit and it was tough...did not get an A there haha.
Acct. 317 poses a problem I think for those who do not understand the financial statement accounts and debits and credits in the first 3-4 weeks. Make sure you get on top of it early and it is manageable. If you fall behind it gets tough because the concepts come up really fast and assume you know the basics.

^^ Agreed.
In my opinion, if you haven't seen any accounting before 317 (in highschool or what not) it will not be an easy class for you unless you put in a great deal of time.
Mckenzie, are you still completing your degree or are you working for a firm doing CASB right now?

Re: Acct 317
What i would recommend to you is taking accounting once you have been accepted into the business school. Take a senior non-commerce option instead. A friend of mine couldn't get into Haskayne and had to wait a year because he got lower then a C- in accounting. Also, it might lower your gpa and you may not make the cut off.Originally posted by mina_03

As far as Stats 217 with Stallard goes. He is an amazing/fair prof. Alot of people hate him because they feel that the stuff he tests on is to difficult. He teaches you what you need to do well on the exams/quizes. Do all the questions he assigns and attend EVERY lecture. I'm really stressing lectures because it is difficult to learn stats from a textbook. You need to be at every single lecture with the notes printed out and ready to listen to him talk about "sexy stats".
I know this all sounds like common sense. You would be surprised at how many people in the midterm exam were just sitting there looking at the midterm wondering wtf is going on. On the other hand the people that knew the material were in a rush trying to get it done.

Back on track now, the comment about waiting to do acct. is not a bad idea but I found it even worse to be doing 5 business courses a semester because I ran out of all my options. That may be another thing to consider.
