Right, professional judgement will save your ass when an auditor comes about and looks for properly journalized transaction, or when your audit risk level's higher than expected and you accept the audit anyways, and -oh look- they go bankrupt.

And if students can't understand the concepts, what are the professors' office hours for? What makes you think answers and test banks will lend them a hand when they're frantically studying an hour before the final? And again this goes back to academic misconduct. You never answered: you DO realize it's against the university's policy, right?

I understand that you value rules and the status quo, but even if I wasn't doing what I'm doing hundreds of people on the internet are and students would still be buying from them. Like I said I'm just doing it to make additional money. It's similar to getting mp3 music on a peer-to-peer network but people aren't up in arms over that because everyone is now so desensitized that it is a norm. As for academic misconduct, I'm fully aware of such rules.

So if people are breaking into stores and stealing, it's all right for you to join in on the loot? Cops aren't here yet so might as well right? :facepalm:

Maybe it's time I take a screenshot and show this to Ryerson. Academic misconduct ftw.

I think you are taking this conversation to a personal level now with your antics. I have no intention to argue with you. Nor should my actions affect your learning as you are still able to learn and gain all the experiences you want in post-secondary education. I think you are blowing it out of proportion now. I'm done with your discussion lol.

FYI P2P music downloading is legal in Canada. And sure, people are up in arms over it: the artists and recording studios, mainly.

If you want additional money, why not see if your accounting firm's willing to hire you a little early, so you can earn that $100k salary sooner, with the red Lambo and the Alienware laptop and the hot secretary.

Otherwise, I'll take a page out of the NIMBY handbook for now. If you want the extra money, use the BST forums. That's what BST is for. Post it there. The Student forum is for students, not textbook selling, not homework, just chatting students. BST is for anything and everything, from buying, to selling, to trading. So post it there. If students are anxious enough to get those manuals, they'll search Google. RFD threads show up on Google. Why not centralize all of your efforts and have just one thread instead of spamming this one with your immoral ********?

I had her last year. It was quite similar to the midterm from what I remember- mostly calculations, some theory but it was harder in comparison. The later chapters are harder than the midterm chapters. More theory was involved and it was relatively trickier (Something about government policy). I think 80% was on post-midterm stuff and the rest from the earlier chapters. Don't take my word for it, I don't really remember much. Read the slides or book (whatever you pick, her slides are sufficient) and redo the Lyryx labs and Blackboard quizzes. Try to reattempt the midterm too, but don't let that take majority of your studying. I saw a couple of recycled questions from it.

I wonder how much more a cell phone would end up costing once telecommunication companies start to implement this technology in full force.

I actually find her slides to be real confusing. But I guess that's because I haven't kept up in the course at all...

Are you trying to find a new POS system that will allow students to pay for test banks using their phones? :lol:

but in all seriousness, theres a similar type of technology used in the U.S. where businesses attach a add-on to their iphone that will allow people to swipe their card and it'll register through the phone. I forget what it's called but I'll have to dig up the article to find out who produces it.

I think thats the nature of whatever program your in... All of my professors this year were white canadians who spoke english great, and like 8 out of 10 I would consider great profs. This is the end of my first year and I have yet to have a prof I would consider "bad".

If anyone is in ACC522, please try and answer these Q's for the exam :D

1) Do we have to read the chapter 12 supplement in the book, or is it everything before the supplement.
2) We will get all the credit amounts and we just have to know the default 15%, how about federal and provincial tax brackets? I memorized the %'s but what about the $ brackets like 0-40,000$ = 5.05% provincial?

3) Did she hint at anything for the final?

Appreciate any tips.

Thanks!
