THE ACCOUNTING EXCHANGE.
Abstract In many of the institutions it has been necessary to increase the size of classes in accounting in order to meet the increased demand for this type of instruction. The number of students enrolled has increased much more rapidly, than the growth in the faculty personnel. This situation has brought some very difficult problems of teaching technique. The "Accounting Exchange," having as its purpose the presentation and discussion of teaching methods and material, has been turned over to a newly-formed committee appointed by President Rosenkampff. The limitation of adequate reading assistance for one thing has hindered the conscientious instructor in the grading of student papers. Furthermore, the many deviations from predetermined solutions, various interpretations of problem statements and the wide divergence in speed capacities of students working under examination conditions, all add to the difficulties of equitably grading the results attained by the typical questions and problem method. An attempt is being made this year at the University of Minnesota to adapt the objective type of examination to the large elementary courses in accounting.
