Dawn Lezon, the Director of Accounting Programs at Monroe College, implemented CapsimInbox: Intro to Accounting in her undergraduate course.
Because Monroe College has a philosophy focused on training students for a job, the program propels students into Introduction to Accounting in their first semester. The course integrates the language of accounting, generally accepted accounting principles, journalizing, and posting. And Monroe’s philosophy focuses on training students for the workforce. But something was missing.
After taking CapsimInbox: Intro to Accounting herself, “it was eye-opening to me, honestly,” Professor Lezon said. That’s saying something, coming from someone with 30 years of experience overseeing the finance industry and working as a CFO of an investment firm.
“It was real life.”
