| Here are eighteen hours worth of video from IUPUI's three credit hour intro accounting class for non-business majors. Same type of content as A100 but spread out over a whole three credit class. IMDS A200
Here are complete one-semester IUPUI lectures for E201, E202, E270 (same subject matter as E370 at IU), and the Finite Show. IMDS main page

| Question... I already took Financial Acct and Managerial Acct at another college, I still have to take this class. Should it be easy after that preparation? | |

| Yes, it should be a cake-walk. | |

| As I posted in post #2 of this thread (about a year ago), the problem is that there just isn't enough time to learn the necessary material this class presents in 14 hours. On the other hand, if you've already taken two 3 unit classes in accounting at another school (96 hours), then you've had enough time to learn everything, and this course should, as A2Wolves6 puts it, be a cakewalk. | |

| A100
A100's bark is a lot scarier than its bite. It is simple:
1) go to class
2) go to office hours
3) study by yourself and with a group
4) read and do the hw before class
This is really the philosophy for all of the Kelley "weed-out" courses (Finite, Calc, K201).
Good luck  | |

| Im taking finite math, k 201, and A 100 my first semester... i was only warned of A 100 when i was signing up for classes and only recently was i told of k 201 being a wash out class and now i hear finite math is? Im smart and made good grades in high school but is it reasonable for me to take these three my first semester of college? | |

| I'm also going to be an incoming freshman. I'm taking finite math and A100 my first semester. From what I hear it is best to separate K201 and A100. Maybe take K201 2nd semester and take one of the easier business electives in its place, although class availability might be scarce at this point. You could always take some kind of intro class and drop K201 as well.
K201 and A100 don't seem impossibly hard, students just need a lot of focus in doing a lot of self-study relative to the amount of time spent in class. | |

| cjvaall... if your a direct admit and if you don't mind getting anywhere form a .3.0 - 3.5 ... then yeah its fine... but if your not a direct admit or if you want to get a GPA higher than 3.7.. you are doing yourself a major dis-service by taking those 3 weed out classes in the first semester of your college carer.. | |
