Learning Method:
This course combines the use of the following learning methods: active learning method through case method, weekly quiz and homework, and the International Culinary Group Project.

Weekly Homework and Quiz
In order to improve understanding of managerial accounting concepts introduced in this course, students will be assigned with homework and quiz. The homework will be assigned at the end of the course to test the knowledge learned in the class. The quiz tests accounting concepts learned in the previous week, and it will be given at the start of the class, and students are given 15 minutes to do the quiz. Grades for the weekly quiz and homework will be provided in the following week.

Case Method: Think, Argue and Learn
It is important that you adequately prepare for assigned case discussions prior to each class session. You will be expected to have reviewed and “solved” the case prior to the actual class discussion. Individual case solution to assignments should be uploaded to Google Classroom well before the class and it will be graded.
At the beginning of each class session, 20 minutes will be dedicated to group discussion on case(s) that have been assigned for discussion on that day. The member of each group will be randomly assigned at the beginning of each class session. Within the group, you are expected to first individually reflect on how you would answer the questions for the case. Then you should clarify your individual analysis in the class discussion session. Active discussion on both the group and in-class sessions is encouraged and will be assessed.

Simulation: The International Culinary Group Project – Experience and Learn
This project is inspired by “The Cookie Project” developed by Kelly Richmond Pope from DePaul University. The “International Culinary Group Project” provides the students hands-on experience in applying managerial accounting concepts, tools and knowledge learned during the class and case studies. At the end of the project, students will have personal experience working in team by engaging in business planning, budgeting, marketing, presentation, and report writing.

授業調査に対するコメント Comment on Course Evaluation

"Frendy is an articulate and thoughtful professor who does well to facilitate the learning of his students who are at various levels. His assignments and group work do well to add value towards the course - as mundane as accounting may be (sometimes!). I have no criticisms towards him, his course or his case studies."
"Only one thing: It's quite a demanding course and I feel like the last session is always the most exhausting."
"Overall a good subject to learn and to understand the basics of managerial accounting. I love the idea of using the openstax online textbook which was very useful and the case book was chosen very wisely. The group work idea was fantastic which help me understand more"
