I was going to ask Professor Bronson. However, I could not get any of her contact information. As a result, I asked the president of MSU Accounting Club for Asians for an accounting professor's email address. Then he gave me a contact information for Professor .
I sent him an email, and he told me to visit his office on Friday morning. So these are the answers for the questions.
1) What do you write?
- He normally writes research papers, memos, letters, and journals (records of transactions).
2) How do you write? (The process of writing)
- 1. He asks what the purpose of the writing is.
2. He gets a big idea like a theme.
3. Then he sketches out an outline.
4. He writes paragraphs with one idea in each paragraph with neat transition.
5. He writes first draft and cut out unnecessary parts.
6. He edits the essay trying to be concise as possible.
7. He lets it sit for few days.
8. Finally, he reviews it with fresh eyes.
3) How long have you been teaching accounting?
- He has been teaching accounting for 10 years.
4) What is advantage of having Ph.D when becoming an accountant?
- Ph. D can teach people how to research and gives people authority to teach in big schools like Michigan State University.
5) Why did you choose this field?
- He firstly went in general program and experienced several fields of study. Then he realized that he has natural talent in accounting, and he enjoyed learning it. As a result, he received degree in accounting in MSU in 1987.
He taught me new word "Journal," and I learned a lot about the profession. It has been a great experience and I hope I meet him when I get into Eli Broad College of Business. Also, on the day of interview, since I am not familiar with the business building, I had hard time finding his office. As a result, I was almost 20 minutes late. I hope he did not have bad first impression about me.
