Review:

"These exercises [Activation Exercises in CNOWv2] are interactive and actually allow students to experiment with the data, visually viewing the impact when data is altered. The exercises show not only how a transaction looks in the journal and ledger accounts, but also the impact it ultimately has on financial statements. Finally, students are challenged to analyze the overall impact of a transaction by answering questions related to the topic. This is an excellent learning tool."

"Multi-Panel View [in CNOWv2] makes it much easier for students to see how each piece of the accounting cycle impacts the other pieces. Having it all in one view reduces student frustration and gives them a clearer picture of the complete accounting cycle."

"Good tool [Blank Sheet of Paper Experience in CNOWv2] to make students understand concepts without overly relying on technology's help."

"I like it [Blank Sheet of Paper Experience in CNOWv2] because it appears to bridge the gap between the homework and my exam."

"This [Blank Sheet of Paper Experience in CNOWv2] will minimize students' complaints about how the exam looks different from the homework format."
