Horribly Written Text Book,
By
This review is from: Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis, Canadian Edition with MyAccountingLab, 5E (Textbook Binding)
I struggled like crazy trying to learn with this textbook. The book will generally use 40 pages to explain 1 concept, it's incredibly wordy and extremely hard to understand.I finally gave up on the book a week before final exams, and got the "Management Accounting Demystified" book instead to learn from and managed to ace my final exam. If your teacher requires it, get the E-Book/ online access, but to use as a text book itself, bad plan. I wasted months with this garbage text before finally passing on it.

Do not like this text book,

This review is from: Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis, Canadian Edition with MyAccountingLab, 5E (Textbook Binding)
The text book is too wordy. A lot of repetition. Calculations are written out in the text of the book which makes it difficult to browse for quick reference. A good textbook gets the concept across efficiently and effectively which is not what I am getting out of this.

Avoid at all costs. IF you must buy, solution manual is a must.,

This review is from: Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis, Canadian Edition with MyAccountingLab, 5E (Textbook Binding)
This textbook is garbage. It has wall after wall of texts and incoherent steps towards teaching the student on how to learn the material.The material itself is easy and like others have said, you're better off buying the "Cost accounting demystified" book. Do not expect to learn much from reading this book unless you want to confuse yourself. You will most likely be forced to purchase this for your class, see if you can get the problems or borrow the book. You will need the solution book if you are seriously using this as the sole source of learning Cost accounting, because the book makes no attempt at providing any concrete displays of solution. They force a whirlwind of theory, walls of text, and numerical jargon at you and hope it instills some sort of "conceptual" understanding of cost accounting. This book was clearly written by PhD holders who have not seen the light of day in decades. Even my Cost accountant professor says its garbage, unfortunately theres not much else for options/alternatives due to the comprehensive amount of questions. Bottom line: Buy if you need it. Do not expect to learn or read the material. Do the questions and memorize the solutions like a monkey. Learn the material/concepts from something else/your professor/in class.
