How hard is managerial accounting at UMPI?

[Lupeb]

IC’s managerial accounting is no joke! I’m struggling so bad. I got a 72% on the first exam and a 56% on the midterm. I’ve been reading and focusing and even made some excel spreadsheets on some of the calculations but those didn’t help me any during either of the exams. The videos definitely help me and this course doesn’t have any. I’m really contemplating on giving up on this course. Is UMPI’s not as much of a drag? This really sucks  

I just finished this course today. The content wasn't bad, but the lack of videos made it a lot harder to absorb the concepts. I started to really struggle near the middle and by the end I was almost pulling my hair out. I ended up watching a bunch of online vids to get the majority of the learning done. Not being able to use scratch paper on the final exam was VERY frustrating as I had a hard time keeping the numbers straight while trying to sort everything out on the dinky little calculator provided. I ended up doing a hail mary and guestimating any of the harder formula questions as I knew I was close to the 70% pass. Ended up squeaking by, but I was in the same boat as you and feeling pretty stressed about the class. I'm just glad it's done now. Unless I'm missing something key this type of course with calculations seems like a poor match for the Instantcert format.

Having said all of that, you got this!! 

Here are the videos that helped me a bunch;

Thank you, Shawn. I'm going to redo both the 1st exam and the midterm and hope for a better grade. I haven't even gotten started on the last third of the lessons and I'm already dreading it. I'll have a look at the link you shared. I'll try to chug on through. Thanks again

I actually took Managerial Accounting at Straighterline and it wasn’t bad at all! It seemed easier than taking it at UMPI in my opinion
