I am currently working my way through the rest of my Penn Foster College courses, starting with Managerial Accounting. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you know that accounting isn't exactly my bag. In fact, I despise it. However, after careful reading and study I took my first online exam in the course and scored a 92! Not bad for a course I can't stand!
The first exam covers the first four lesson assignments in the course. It was heavy on figuring out the cost of overhead in a business. There are different mathematical procedures for figuring out the various aspects of running a business. From this standpoint, the course is actually very good because it applies these procedures to real-life experiences. I don't have to figure out things like depreciation and overhead at my current job (thank God), but this is probably good information to know. If I ever move on to study in an MBA program I think this course will give me a good foundation.
I have four more lesson assignments to work thorugh until I get to exam #2. After that, Penn Foster College will send me the course materials for my next course: Introduction to Literature. I feel like things are finally moving along at PFC.
