Why so few? Simplicity - - KISS principle. Accounting has a reputation for being a very difficult subject. Instructors can make it appear difficult or simple. I ALWAYS tell my students accounting is easy … it’s almost always a function of how much effort you put into the course. Why the pyramid? Because if any piece is missing, can you evaluate financial statements which is our ultimate goal in financial accounting? Reporting to external users? So the pyramid is a subliminal reminder of the importance of each essential outcome. THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS - - THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE ESSENTIAL OUTCOMES SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE GROUP (INSTRUCTORS/STUDENTS HAVE DIFFERENT TEACHING/LEARNING STYLES). THEREFORE, ESSENTIAL OUTCOMES ARE THE RESULT OF REFLECTION AND ARE CONTINUALLY EVOLVING.
