There are two versions of the Practice Set:
________
Experiential Practice Set
The student will receive the full practice set, including answer keys. They will have full control of the experience and will be able to evaluate their performance independently at various steps along the way.
With this version, there is no opportunity for the Professor to evaluate or grade the work although most who use this product allot classroom time for completion.

Evaluative Practice Set
The student will not receive the answer key with their order, rather, the answer key will be shipped to the course Professor. This way, the Student will still complete the practice set independently after which the Professor will evaluate and/or grade their work.
The Professor will return the answer key to the student after the evaluation.

What do you mean by "custom?"
Good question! Most people are intrigued, and even a little incredulous by this concept.
Each practice set package is physically printed on several different printers at the time of the order. The receipts are all different sizes, weights and paper orientation. Each receipt incorporates customization to the student in some way, such as their name (for instance). Our system also recognizes the jurisdiction of the student (City, Town, State, Province) and uses, as closely as possible, the legal names of taxes, tax rates (if applicable) and government departments & agencies. When we say the receipts are "actual" . . . . we're not joking!
They are the real thing!
Can I use this to teach a class?
Of course! We extracted this practice set from our FastTrack Bookkeeping course and revised it to be a stand-alone teaching tool. It is the perfect companion for any accounting course or bookkeeping course. University and College Professors will find this practice set to be a valuable addition to their curriculum. Its a perfect fit!
