<p>I heard this class is really tough, just wonderin' why? </p>
<p>Also what does it take to master the material, I have never taken an accounting course and I don't know if it requires strong math skills, a lot of memorizing or what.... </p>
<p>No, the exams are difficult. The average grade is a B-. The material isn't that bad, but the exams are tricky. You don't need strong math skills or memorizing skills at all, but you should have a strong understanding of money.</p>
<p>1.) it's a new concept that doesn't build on any former knowledge
2.) it's neither all quantitative nor all qualitative but requires analytical skills in both
3.) the exams are tricky and the students are competitive</p>
