Transactions for a merchandising business related to sales and cash receipts will be discussed and practiced. New vocabulary will be reviewed. Customer service scenarios, videos, and role play will also be addressed to go along with this lesson in accounting.

These lecture slides and worksheet provide a thorough overview of basic accounting principles and terms with agricultural application.

Materials that make it easy for instructors to integrate data analytics into introductory accounting classes, including cases that are suitable for introductory accounting classes.

A rational agent considers both accounting profit and economic profit. In this video, see an example highlighting the difference between accounting profit and economic profit from a business and a discussion of explicit and implicit costs of operating a business.

The simulation Sal mentions in the video can be found directly following this video in the lesson.

This module examines the nature and variability of subduction margins through examination of data sets that document subduction zone inputs, deformation, and resulting morphology in different settings.

In this lab exercise, students practice correctly using measurement tools, recording data, calculating density, using significant figures, and exploring the concepts of accuracy and precision.

This task examines, from a mathematical and statistical point of view, how scientists measure the age of organic materials by measuring the ratio of Carbon 14 to Carbon 12. The focus here is on the statistical nature of such dating. This task addresses a very important issue about precision in reporting and understanding statements in a realistic scientific context.

This task is a refinement of ``Carbon 14 dating'' which focuses on accuracy. Because radioactive decay is an atomic process modeled by the laws of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to know with certainty when half of a given quantity of Carbon 14 atoms will decay. This type of question is very important in science and it also provides an opportunity to study the very subtle question of how errors behave when applying a function: in some cases the errors can be magnified while in others they are lessened.

This lesson explains how to accurately read a graduate that are used in healthcare settings.  This presentation introduces some beginning concepts on what is out put and what is the signficance of accurately measuring it when providing care.  Then the lesson continues into explaining how to accurately read 3 different types of graduates in ounces, ml, and cubic centimeters.  Then provides three practice problems with answers provided.

This problem involves solving a system of algebraic equations from a context: depending how the problem is interpreted, there may be one equation or two.

This task is a somewhat more complicated version of "Accurately weighing pennies I'' as a third equation is needed in order to solve part (a) explicitly. Instead, students have to combine the algebraic techniques with some additional problem-solving (numerical reasoning, informed guess-and-check, etc.)

Ce module vise à renforcer les compétences des étudiants de licence 3 à l’analyse des défis et enjeux urbains dans les pays en développement. Il met l’accent sur les études de cas à Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Bamako (Mali) Accra (Ghana) et Maputo (Mozambique).
