How does the traditional method of teaching differ from what Dr. Pedersen developed?
The traditional method focuses on detail, detail, detail. Most students are not able to pull the detail together to create an understandable whole. To them, it’s like completing a complex puzzle with out the picture to go by. The method used in the “Dude! Where’s My Profit?” course reverses how accounting is learned. It starts with the big picture of accounting basics. It is named the Pedersen Matrix™. Detail then is learned in the context of this Matrix, which enables students to visualize how this detail fits into the big picture.
