Accounting was a beneficial week for me. As a Business major in undergrad I had some exposure to accounting terms previously. But it had been a while since I’d heard them so Professor Hodge did a great job re-introducing them and simplifying the terms so we could all be understood. Breaking down the accounting terms for us non-business majors isn’t always the easiest task, but I think by the end of the week we were all on the same page, except maybe Kara who is exceptional in accounting.
I thoroughly enjoyed taking those accounting concepts and putting together financial statements for an athletics department. I think it was great to be able to see real tangible items and issues that we'll be dealing with while working in the athletics department.
The project was intense!! My accounting project happened to be rather difficult for me because I researched a topic that ended up dealing with a lot of my assumptions rather than clear-cut statistics and facts. It made the presentation more fun and creative, but difficult to convey my ideas in an accounting realm which hurt my presentation. I was a bit nervous presenting as well, but have noticed that my public speaking is improving with each week and each presentation.
I think that’s all I have to say about accounting week. It was fun, go America’s Team!!
