Teaching by example with the use of hands-on experience and exercises is the best method for learning the actual practice of accounting. Text books teach only very basic theory and are not as useful for practice as it eists in the real world. The studennts must understand theory but must also learn how to apply that theory to real situations and understand when to be creative within the practice. I prefer to attempt to use examples and illustrate situations that the students are likely to encounter in real life rather than a text book ideal. This method will mean much more to a student attempting to make sense out of real practice as opposed to a sample that most likely doesn't exist in the real world.
As a senior and after graduation, I tutored accounting students in order to assist with the understanding of accounting principles. I have spent many years training entry level accou ... read more

I was born in Jamaica; however I am a citizen of the United States of America. I am from a very large family where education and hard work were our mantra. My father attended the Oxford University in England and later became a Civil Engineer where he worked in Israel and in Jamaica. He was also a member of parliament in Jamaica. In his later years, my father was the owner of a real estate development company and commercial farming. My mother attended the University of the West Indies and Shortwood Teachers’ College and has recently retired from her position as the principal for a primary and junior high school in Jamaica and she is also a Justice of the Peace which is equivalent to a Mayor. As educators, my parents have instilled in me the value of education and how it can be used as a stepping stone to endless possibilities. Having a strong educational foundation is extremely im ... read more

My philosophy does not guarantee that individuals will be better thinkers or students, but I believe it provides a valuable base to help them think more clearly. It has always involved both the world of ideas (theory) and the world of practical activity (real-world scenarios), resulting in an integration of good ideas (theory) that can lead to good practices (real-world scenarios), and good practices that can lead to good ideas. It’s designed around a framework - a methodology for keeping on track and maintaining responsibility to protect the institution, the students, fellow colleagues, and the community. It’s a code - intended to clarify my mission, values and principles linking them with standards of professional conduct.
Effective communication with students has two dimensions that can be addressed: stimulating students' interest in and engagement with the course material by ... read more
