This study reports the results of a quasi-experiment involving 90 master of accounting students. The students participated in one of three course types: full-immersion service learning with a supporting textbook, full-immersion service learning without a supporting textbook, or nonservice learning using case-based projects with deliverables identical to those in the service-learning courses. Results indicate that full-immersion service learning increased student satisfaction, student perceptions of ability, self-confidence in chosen careers, desire to study accounting information systems, and performance on complex data modeling tasks. The only performance decrement noted was in performance on a topic that was loosely related to the service-learning project. These results should be of interest to faculty and administrators who might be contemplating the value of integrating service learning in the accounting curriculum.

Abstract This qualitative study examined student perceptions regarding a hybrid classroom format in which part of their learning took place in a traditional classroom and part of their learning occurred in an online platform. Pre-course and post-course anonymous essays suggest that students may be open to learning in this context; however, they have specific concerns as well. Students raised issues regarding faculty communication patterns, learning styles, and the value of clear connections between online and traditional learning experiences. Student concerns and feedback need to be addressed through the course design and by the instructor in order for them to have a positive learning experience in a hybrid format course.

Clinical supervision is recognized as a distinctive area of practice and expertise, yet professional preparation in this area remains inadequate. This paper presents functional information describing the development and implementation of an experimental course on administration, supervision, and private practice, based on graduate student perceptions and preferences for course content and types of learning activities. Current pedagogical trends for universal design in learning and fostering student engagement were emphasized, including problem-based and collaborative learning. Results suggest that students were highly pleased with course content, interactive and group activities, as well as with assessment procedures used.
