Dr. Candle had a great start at Mountain State University, however his performance in the last ten years has become less than desirable. Students of the University have complained about him being an “awful” professor. Additionally, other accounting professors of the University have observed his poor teaching skills. My response to the Oregon Coastal University professor’s inquiry about Dr. Candle’s performance at Mountain State University might be unpleasant, nonetheless it is ethical. My response is honest, accurate and credible. My response to the professor inquiry may prohibit Dr. Candles chances of being accepted at Oregon Coastal University, nevertheless the professor needs to be accurately informed of the performance levels of the person that (s)he is inquiring about. By falsifying information and stating that Dr. Candle is a great professor and the University has not had any problems with him ever, for the purpose of (hopefully) having him relinquish his state of employment there is unethical. If Oregon Coastal University were to take that false information into account and decide to hire him on the accounting department, and Dr. Candle were to go and continue to have poor performance at the other University, it would cause friction between the University’s for being lied to. This would tarnish any future working relationships between the

AP Seminar was my first experience in an environment that was completely dedicated to learning, without the fixation on the letter grades that ‘determine’ success. My peers were my teachers. I discussed, debated, and collaborated with peers that shared various viewpoints on thought provoking issues that challenged my own. I learned to ask the ‘Whys?,’ ‘Hows?,’ and ‘What Ifs?’ and dive deeper into discussion. The environment fostered differences in interests, mindsets, and intellect. My attraction drew me to seek an intellectually diverse learning environment that challenges my preconceived opinions and ideas. Columbia, through the Core system, acknowledges and uniquely accomplishes the same goals of learning as my AP Seminar class. The prospect
In relation to this, an integrity violation would be when I was in boot camp, and a female on fire watch decided to fail her fellow recruits and fall asleep while responsible for the rear hatch. Despite the drill instructors knowing she was asleep, her lack of integrity showed when she consistently denied the fact she fell asleep. Even though she was just a recruit and the drill instructors would not give any praise for integrity, it is always drilled into our head of the importance of in...

In COL 101 I have learned many new things about college. Since this is my first semester at college I did not really know where everything was. This class really helped me to learn new things about myself, including what resources are available to me, what my plan for the future is, and the many changes I have endured during this course.

What does the accountant of the future need to be successful? A sturdy education that while is based on traditional accounting practices, also prepares future accountants for the plethora of changes happening in the accounting universe. Frequently, most of the institutions responsible for educating professionals fail to evolve as rapidly as the professional practice itself (Bedford et al. 4). In every way, accounting is expanding and in order for the future to have competent accountants, accounting education must expand as well. Major changes occurring in the world of accounting include the expansion of services and products, changes in competition, an increase in specialization, and an increase in and an advancement of technology. It is up to academic institutions to find proactive ways in which to prepare students for such changes. Accounting education of the future will require more breadth to cover the inevitable expansion of services and products, increased knowledge of economics, marketing, management and information systems to increase competitive advantage, a balanced course load that provides a general accounting knowledge as well as increased knowledge of a specialization, and also a greater, proactive focus on the use of continuously advancing accounting technologies (Bedford et al. 8). Also in play is the chance of change in accounting standards, the move from US GAAP to IFRS. While there are no certainties surrounding the threat of such change, students in the U.S. should acquire at least a general, basic feel for the practices used in regards to IFRS. The future health of the accounting profession depends, to a great extent, on the health of our students (Gormon and Hargadon 4). Reorganization of curriculums would surely be difficult and assumedly time-consuming, but nevertheless, completely

It is not everyday when you can say the majority of your college class is you talking and the teacher listening, this is seminar. Coming from a family where heated debates were present almost daily, I already know if I were passionate about a topic I would never pass up an opportunity to express my opinions. For me, seminar has allowed me to grow in this confidence of expressing my thoughts as well as learning from others opinions. Having come from a high school that stressed the importance of student participation, I was not surprised by the amount I would actually have to speak in this class, however I was surprised by the importance of disagreements and the proper way to analyze text through underlining, highlighting and questioning and how it could aid my overall understanding of a text. Being a psychology major and extremely interested in social justice issues, seminar also opened my eyes up to the interesting perspectives of the strength of human nature.
