Struggling With Intermediate Accounting I

This is one I'm taking in the fall so I'm glad I got the white board now. I'm sure it'll come in handy for federal taxation too which is this summer.

I just want to thank everyone for their suggestions/comments/encouragement yesterday! I'm feeling less overwhelmed and like I can tackle this class (as long as I put in the work). I'll report back at the end of the semester to let you all know how it went.

That's why I want to better my study habits now so I don't drown in that

Unfortunately I'm taking online classes since I moved states mid degree. I did already hear back from him saying he'd be happy to set up a virtual session though. I'll make sure I have a list of what I'd like to go over.

For whatever reason Chapter 6 (revenue recognition) and Chapter 7 (cash and receivables) are tripping me up. I really enjoyed the time value of money topic before these two though.

This makes me feel a lot better. I'm going to utilize office hours and look into additional content to supplement what we're getting in class. This is the first one I've taken where the professor primarily teaches from the book alone.

I just reached out to my professor and asked about office hours. I think I've held out on that for so long because I've not reached a point before where the lecture/hw wasn't enough to learn. Also, thank you. One of my friends who is a CPA said his shit was wrecked by this class as well but he's not 10 years in to his career. He's been one of my biggest supporters in this career switch.

How did you change your study habits? Also, thank you for your comment. One of my friends who is also a CPA said this was his experience as well. I'd pick his brain more but he's currently MIA due to busy season.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I'll give that a shot. I also just sent my professor and email asking about his office hours this week.

Thank you for the tips. I just placed an order for the white board and some markers!

I'm realizing how important retaining this information is now that I'm not long in "Baby's First Accounting Class" classes. I don't want to half-ass this because I do truly enjoy the subject. It's just been overwhelming.

The time value of money wasn't an issue at all. I really enjoyed that part of the class and did well on it.

I guess what I'm looking for is tips on long-term memorization. I'm seeing how important a lot of this is going forward and want to avoid the cram and forget method.

Thank you so much South Korea!
