CLASSROOM TECHNIQUE.
Abstract
This article focuses on the classroom technique of teaching. A method of gaining the cooperation of the class was by following their lead to a certain extent in the development of the course. Any time a question was asked, even though irrelevant to the matter on hand, if that question pertained to accounting material which would normally be taken up at a later date in the course, the question was answered fully and completely at the time if the author felt the class had sufficient background to grasp the major portion of the explanation. The reason underlying this approach was to develop naturally and informally the subject matter and to make it seem less formidable and easier to understand. Then later on, in following the text, when teachers came upon the same subject the class was reminded that the reading assignment was merely a review of what had been taken up previously in class discussion. It might be mentioned that at the end of the first week, the nomenclature of all first semester terms was taken up and a brief explanation given.
