MAKE PRACTICE COUNT The learning design of Managerial Accounting by Charles and Elizabeth Davis redefines the managerial accounting solution by shifting the focus from reading about managerial accounting to frequently apply concepts and analyzing problems. Hundreds of business students have class tested Managerial Accounting by Charles and Elizabeth Davis. What students are saying: "The writing is simpler to follow but at the same time does not make you feel like you are reading an elementary book. The authors got to the point much quicker than they do in my current book and the examples provided were much simpler to follow and broken down better." - Alexander Romanowski , University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse "I loved how I could actually learn and retain the information being taught. I honestly do not know if it was the wording or examples, but this text was a huge improvement from most accounting texts. I especially love the layout and the short, easy to study sections." - Brittany Chambers , North Georgia College and State University "I like how the homework problems are related to the example questions, making it much easier to follow and comprehend the questions." - Robert Erwin , Texas A&M University Corpus Christi "I really enjoyed "The Pitch" and "The Wrap-up" because the text used some examples pertaining to this hypothetical situation. The "Chapter Summary" and the "Self Study Test" were also helpful. I liked how the answers were provided to the "Self Study Test" because it allowed me to test myself and make sure I understood the chapter." - Chelsea Schurfeld , University of Northern Alabama
