Accounting: Understanding the Validation System
This article is intended for Students and Instructors.
This article applies only to Accounting simulations.
Accounting simulations require students to record key financial information in various sources such as journals, a ledger and others. A validation system has been created to help guide students into identifying errors as well as ensuring the information entered is correct.
This is done using a four attempts validation method. Each attempt provides a student with greater insight into what the error might be, however not recognizing errors will result in points being lost from the total possible amount.
The system work as follows:
- First Attempt - Forms, where errors are contained (if any), will be highlighted. Each error will result in a point loss.
- Second Attempt - The location of the error (if any) in the form will be highlighted. Each error will result in another point loss.
- Third Attempt - A tooltip will be shown on the location of the error (if any) to help explain the error. Each error will result in a further point loss.
- Fourth Attempt - The correct answer will automatically be inputted into the location where the error is (if any). Each error remaining will result in yet another point loss.
This system is designed to encourage students to recognize errors and correct them, as well as ensuring that students cannot be left behind in the simulation.
