I follow a blog called The Summa in  Google Reader.  The Summa is written by an accounting professor named David Albrecht at Concordia College in Moorhead.  I’ve only recently been reading the new posts that come across the RSS feed, but happened to stumble upon a link to an older entry that contains excellent advice for every accounting student.

It echoes much of what I’ve thought about but have been unable to express myself so I’m happy to be able to share with you the link in the hopes that this reinforces some things I’ve said to you in class such as:

  • “be a scholar, not a student”
  • “don’t memorize facts, learn how to think”
  • “know your learning style and take advantage of the tools I provide to design your own learning plan”
  • “leverage your classmates by studying with them — you will learn more from them than you will ever learn from me”
