The AICPA Model Tax Curriculum (AICPA 1996a) stresses the importance of entity taxation throughout the first two undergraduate tax courses and a master's of accounting program. This paper provides instructors with a case that uses a simplified example of the Boston Celtics, a publicly traded partnership, to highlight the tax and nontax considerations that must be evaluated when making a choice of entity decision. The case also incorporates technological tools including CD-ROM or Internet-based tax research, Excel spreadsheets for preparing tax and cash flow projections, word-processing software, and an optional PowerPoint presentation. The case is designed to be completed in stages throughout the semester.

Performance Enhancing

Our research objectives are to provide a theoretical discussion on how software may impact user performance in ways contrary to designers’ intentions and users’ desires, and to empirically evaluate user performance impacts that derive from ostensibly performance-enhancing software features. We propose that dyadic procedure is associated with higher levels of user performance when compared to monadic procedure. Using word-processing software utilization as the research context, we test the proposition on data from 46 participants. Contrary to expectations, the results suggest that dyadic procedure may decrease the accuracy of users’ work. We conclude that software design features that are intended to improve user performance may have opposite effects, which raise questions about these features’ utility and desirability.

Read Only Memory

The advent of computers in the classroom has changed the shape of education. Students now have the opportunity to utilize Compact Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) for research and compilation of information. Through the introduction of CD-ROM, students have been encouraged to research topics across the curriculum. The ease and availability of information through the CD-ROM has positively reinforced students to research topics for use in Global Studies, Science, Language Arts, and Computer courses. In addition, students have also been encouraged to utilize word processing software to correlate their research information and to present their topics in a more professional manner. The students use of the CD-ROM as a research tool, and word processing software for the final product, also seems to have had a positive affect on their organizational and writing skills.

This Article consists of a short review of the Arabic and Persian word processing software for the Macintosh computer called AlKaatibTM, as well as a presentation of some of the ways in which it is now being used as a pedagogical and research aid. It should be stated at the outset that although I did not personally develop this software, I was intimately involved with developing the fonts for it, and with testing it in its initial stages, thereby providing input that was incorporated into the present version. This article should therefore be viewed not so much as an outside review of the software, but as an expression by someone who uses it on a daily basis of what it has meant to him.

High Level

This study was aimed at analyzing the level of practicalities and effectivenees of bilingual computer-based learning module on the topic of word processing software at State Elementary School Percobaan, Padang. The study was quantitative with an experimental method. Findings show that the products which were developed had high level of practicality with the value Kr = 1 (standard of practicality = 0.90). This was confi rmed in the test of scalability which the coeffi cient of scalability of Ks = 1 (standard of scalability = 0.60). Based on the effectiveness test in the cognitive domain, from 24 students, 20 of them were completing at the average percentage of 84.44 while 4 students were not. In the psychomotor domain, it was categorized as very good with students obtaining an average grade of 97.29 for each indicator. Therefore, this module is very good to use for learning especially in internasional schools. The research findings show give evidence to the teachers to continuously make innovation and it can also be used as a reference to develop modules on other topics.KEPRAKTISAN DAN KEEFEKTIFAN MODUL PEMBELAJARAN BILINGUALBERBASIS KOMPUTERPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat kepraktisan dan efektivitas dari modul pembelajaran bilingual berbasis komputer pada pokok bahasan perangkat lunak pengolah kata di SD Negeri Percobaan Padang. Bentuk penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan jenis eksperimen. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa produk yang dikembangkan sudah sangat praktis dengan nilai Kr = 1 karena di atas syarat kepraktisan 0,90. Hal ini dipertegas dalam uji skalabilitas dimana koefisien skalabilitas atau Ks = 1, angka ini juga sudah memenuhi syarat yakni di atas 0,60. Dari uji efektivitas pada ranah kognitif dari 24orang siswa terdapat 20 siswa yang tuntas dengan persentase rata-rata 84,44. Untuk ranah psikomotor dikategorikan sangat baik dengan angka rata-rata yang diperoleh siswa pada setiap indikatornya yaitu 97,29. Dengan demikian, modul ini sangat baik digunakan dalam pembelajaran khususnya pada sekolah bertaraf internasional. Hasil penelitian memberikan gambaran kepada guru-guru untuk selalu melakukan inovasi dan dapat digunakan guru sebagai acuan untuk pengembangan modul pada pokok bahasan lainnya

Correction System

This paper proposes an automatic correction system that detects and corrects dyslexic errors in Arabic text. The system uses a language model based on the Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) text compression scheme that generates possible alternatives for each misspelled word. Furthermore, the generated candidate list is based on edit operations (insertion, deletion, substitution and transposition), and the correct alternative for each misspelled word is chosen on the basis of the compression codelength of the trigram. The system is compared with widely-used Arabic word processing software and the Farasa tool. The system provided good results compared with the other tools, with a recall of 43%, precision 89%, F1 58% and accuracy 81%.
