Why I Shouldn't Have to Take Financial Accounting Theory

1. It is not a requirement for the CPA exam or to get a license.
2. I have already learned everything I need to know in a combination of my Financial 1, 2, and 3 classes and Finance classes.
3. My teacher seems to think that we don't know anything, and so she babies us through computations that a monkey could do.
4. The class is from 7:20 to 10:00 in the p.m. I could be doing other things, like sleeping, or watching television, things that are obviously more important than Financial Accounting Theory.
5. The classroom is freezing.
6. We have to do stupid presentations every other week. I did presentations all the time in my undergrad, so obviously I am the master of presentations and shouldn't have to practice them anymore.
7. My teacher teaches the class in twice the amount of time that a normal person could. I mean seriously, I could have us in and out in an hour where it takes her 2 and a half.
8. Did I mention it isn't a requirement for the CPA exam or license?
9. My teacher, in the kindest sense, isn't who I'd prefer to be looking at for 2.5 hours.
10. If I really have to take this class, I'm confident that I could learn the material on my own in a much more efficient manner than attending the actual class.

Two words. Don't go.

Just make sure you're there for the tests.

Of course, do that unless attendance is part of your grade (lame).
