TESU Accounting - Degree Help

[topdog98]

Sorry Can't help you with Advanced Accounting II , but was wondering what you came up with for Intermediate Accounting II. It's looking more and more like that I will be taking this at Penn Foster

Sorry, this will not help the question in the original post about Advanced Accounting II, but I have seen some of Synicaal's previous conversations about Intermediate Accounting I and II, so I thought I would add my advice on this topic.

If you haven't taken Intermediate Accounting I yet, Penn Foster is actually a great option for this course, especially if you are going to take Intermediate Accounting II through Penn Foster. The material in this course is actually Intermediate Accounting (as opposed to what SL or Study.com offers at present). All of the quizzes in this course are (at least when I took it) open book, untimed, and can be retaken once. The final is unproctored, so you can take your time. So if you take your time, you can learn the material really well, and get a great score in this class. Intermediate Acct. I and II at Penn Foster use the same textbook, so they build on each other. It is a great textbook (although very lengthy). I used this same textbook for a graduate level Intermediate Accounting course that I later took at Harvard University Extension School.

If you already have credit for Intermediate Accounting I through SL or Study.com for TESU, and the material is not actually Intermediate Accounting, the first half of the textbook that Penn Foster will send you for Intermediate Accounting II covers Intermediate Accounting I, so you can study it and learn the material that you missed.

The hard thing about Penn Foster's Intermediate Accounting II is the timed proctored final. There is not enough time to complete what its required on the final. However, if you must take this course, it is quite doable. Learn the material really well, and take your time with the multiple choice, open book quizzes. I believe these are worth 67% of your final grade (with a total score of 70% required to pass the course), and you can retake these once, knowing which questions that you missed. If you do this, you will not have to make a great score on the final to pass the course. You are even allowed to retake the proctored final if you do not score enough to pass the course. When I took the course, because of the time constraint, I didn't have a great score on the final, but it was plenty to pass the course (well over 70%), and I learned the material in Int. Acct. I and II well.

So my advice for you is, since you are not finding any other good options, take Intermediate Accounting I and II through Penn Foster. This is what I did (although not for TESU). Good luck with whatever you choose.
