Are accounting classes really hard?

Question

I had my first accounting class today, and the professor really scared me because she said half of the class will fail. I'm an accounting major, but if I fail the class I can't move on. So, I wanted to know if you think the class is really as hard as she says it is. It's financial accounting by the way.

Thanx.

Answer 1

I have a degree in Accounting and I will advice you to take notes, do your homework, and study for tests.  As long as you keep up with your work everything should be fine and there is nothing you should be scared of.  Don't let your teacher intimidate you.  I enjoyed all my accounting classes and I worked very hard for them. Financial accounting is an easy class. Don't give up!

Answer 2

all u gotta do is PAY ATTENTION

and review your notes daily

if u miss a day of class

you will GO SO BEHIND

and you can fall back alot

nothings really hard

just REVIEW & PAY ATTENTION *

Answer 3

Generally the beginning level financial accounting class is fairly easy.  The intermediate financial accounting class is the one that can kill you.  Intermediate accounting basically covers most of what you need for the CPA exam (for the financial accounting part, of course).  You have to be organized and keep current with your homework and studying.  If you fall behind, you can forget it.
