As a teacher how i feel is that to teach those lessons to the students we have to relate it with their personal experiences about the business transaction to under more about it and than we can related it to the accountancy.  One of the difficult things that i have seen that makes difficult to understand is that most of them are familiar with business trans action but not aware about the what are the items of financial statements. so we have to teach students the concepts of assets, liabilities and equity.

 Designing Year Plan.  Under this unit first we discussed about year plan and Year plan is a guide book that guide us to reached our desire goals. As a its important for us to have year plan because it will tell us how to move on with our roles and responsibility.

However what i feel is that, in Bhutanese education system we are mostly focused on text books so i think others resources are not that much familiar.
