Abstract

This assignment was developed by SUNY Geneseo Professor Jyothsna G. Harithsa for the fall 2026 semester.

Learning Objectives

  • Students will strengthen their knowledge in accounting and finance topics, based on what they learn in the classroom.
  • Students will learn how to use data analysis tools, learn to work with large amounts of data, be exposed to data extraction and data enhancement techniques, and will apply intuition to explain results.
  • In alignment with NACE competencies, students will sharpen their intuitive reasoning skills, exhibit professional behavior, learn the tools and techniques that could help them in the workplace (using Excel, report writing, presentation, gathering data, financial analysis, and using AI tools). 
  • Interpreting results, not merely reporting the findings. This will test the critical thinking skills of the students along with logic and reasoning.
