Abstract
Over the course of two semesters in ACCY 420, under the instruction of Dr. Victoria Dickinson, I completed a series of case studies that analyzed different economic and financial accounting issues. These case studies required us to research the topic and to also reflect on what we have learned in previous accounting classes. Two of the case studies were presentation-based competitions: the KPMG Ideation Challenge and the Mississippi Economic Development Project. In both cases, my team and I researched the topic, proposed a solution, developed a presentation, and then argued our solution to a panel of accounting and business professionals. These experiences strengthened my public speaking and team collaboration skills. In addition to the group work, I completed several individual case studies that touched on a wide range of accounting subjects. Throughout both semesters of this practicum class, I developed my research, analytical, and writing skills. I am submitting a selection of this work to fulfill the thesis requirement of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College.
