Abstract

In this paper a learning activity is proposed that requires students to identify aspects of corporate annual reports related to the learning objectives being covered throughout an Intermediate Accounting II course through frequent quizzes, bringing life to financial statements and note disclosures, from one learning objective to the next. The quizzes become a framework to build learning momentum by repeatedly reviewing the basic attributes of financial statements, refreshing prior learning materials, and adding new content from current course materials, all while reviewing current events inherent with global, political, and economic challenges. Students report their learning is positively impacted by bridging course materials to the real world through quizzes, supporting the efficacy of this pedagogy.
