Financial Accounting

O professor terrível. O exame super difícil e não nos preparou. Todas as semanas dava imenso material. Dica: interajam com o material…

O professor fez tudo da maneira dele

este ano foi completamente diferente dos outros todos. antes esta era uma cadeira maioritariamente prática e agora é praticamente apenas teórica.

era super difícil fazer tudo o que estava disponível porque tinha prazos e para desbloquear umas tarefas tinhas de fazer as outras (não era obrigatório por isso não conta para a nota mas ajudava a estudar e só era possível ver as coisas com um estudo bem regular). se conseguissem fazer tudo os quizzes ajudavam imenso (o exame tinha perguntas parecidas, sendo totalmente em escolha múltipla e preenchimento de espaços, tal como os quizzes). também...

Financial Accounting foi uma disciplina bastante trabalhosa. Uma daquelas disciplinas que se tem que acompanhar semanalmente, especialmente a parte prática porque a partir do momento que se perde alguns conteúdos é difícil adquiri-los e acompanhar as aulas. Em relação aos midterms, foram acessíveis e é fácil obter uma boa nota caso se trabalhe para isso. Recomendo a estudar bastante para o exame pois foi bastante mais complexo e extenso que os midterms. Não gostei muito do método de ensino do professor. Os materias dados são demasiado extensos.

Practical classes were very helpful. Very useful tips from the TAs

Great introductory course to Finance. Give it a chance, it is very practical and important although not very glamorous. Slides are kind of mid so I would advise note taking, but the professor does dominate the subject and always answers happily any questions. Assessment is very straight-forward, take the mocks and go to practical lessons and you should be good.

The teachers are competent and the lectures are concise. The exams are difficult, but if you study past exams you have a good chance of passing.

We had a theoretical teacher and also practical classes. In the theoretical classes we went through the topics and solved some exercises, but then we had a more in depth analysis of exercises on the practical classes. Assessment was based on one midterm and an exam, both of them were very similar to what we did in class and to the previous midterms and exams. We had powerpoints in which we could better understand the theoretical part of the course and then workbooks with the exercises to practice. I suggest that you study regularly, given that the materials are dense.

Go to practical classes. it makes a huge difference in your overall understanding of the course.

Very practical course in terms that it’s possible to see the usefulness of the contents. Must keep the contents in check regularly so it doesn’t feel too overwhelming. Making the exercises is key but keep the theoretical up to date. Works like a game, once you start to get the hang of it you are good to go

This is probably the worst course in first year. You should start to study since day one! There will be a lot of new concepts and you should get to know them as soon as possible. The midterm and the exam are difficult if you only start to study a week before. It is very important to do the student handbook. The best way to learn by yourself is by studying by tiago silva’s powerpoint, he’s probably the best TA

Attend classes, especially practical classes. Review the slides and solve the exercises before exams. The concepts aren't super complicated to understand.

This is a course that depends on how you begin, if you get lost in the beginning it is going to be a hard course, if you go to the practical classes and understand and keep up with the classes it should be easier and if you are interested in it you will perform well. It is important that you have a good TA since the exercises are big and hard to understand. Repeat the exercises at home when studying and it shouldn’t be a problem.

It is important to listen to classes and understand this subject as you will need it to do management accounting. The tests are long so make sure you know things by heart, you have a lot of material to study

Although you need to do a lot of exercises, i really enjoyed it. The professor from the 1st semester is one of my favorites of all time, and that helped of course!

Gostei bastante desta cadeira, sobretudo pela forma como os conceitos foram apresentados com ligação prática à realidade, fornecendo uma base sólida para compreender a linguagem financeira das empresas e interpretar demonstrações financeiras.
