Educators in all disciplines are searching for effective educational technologies that help students learn. One technology that has evolved is the online homework management system. The online homework management system permits professors to use the Internet to assign homework problems that students can complete online. Since this system is automatic, students can receive feedback instantly. The researchers designed this study to determine if the use of an online homework management system as an educational complement was an effective way to improve student performance and course satisfaction in an introductory accounting course when compared to traditional accounting pedagogy. The results of this study show the use of an online homework management system is an effective way to improve student performance and course satisfaction in an introductory accounting course when compared to traditional pen-and-paper homework.

For instance, a business school professor with a doctorate in marketing might wish to pursue a second PhD in management. Perhaps a literature professor with a PhD in English may desire an additional master's degree in some particular subspecialty, such as seventeenth-century Irish poetry. Or, a government professor with a doctorate in political science might want to earn a JD from her university's law school to aid in her study and teaching of constitutional theory.In each of these situations, the faculty member receives a significant economic benefit-the difference between the little or nothing that she actually pays for her degree and the tuition that the university ordinarily charges. Sometimes, a school will simply permit a faculty member to enroll in the requisite courses for free (or for a greatly reduced tuition). In other cases, the university will structure the benefit as an interest-free loan with a forgiveness provision. Either way, the professor is typically required to reimburse her university (i.e., to pay the full amount of the ordinary tuition for her coursework) if she departs the school's faculty within a certain period (say, within one to three years) following her receipt of the degree. 2 Such requirement ensures that the university will receive the continued services of the faculty member whose increased training and credentials the school provided. This better enables the school to enhance the qualifications and 2017-update. ashx?la=en (outlining AACSB Business Accreditation Standard 15's requirement that at least 40% of an accredited business school's faculty normally be comprised of "scholarly academics" and noting that, to be a "scholarly academic," a faculty member must, inter alia, possess an appropriate terminal degree-which, in most disciplines, is a PhD). 2 In its most recent analysis of graduate tuition reductions for university employees, for example, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) looked at a fact pattern in which a school permitted full-time employees (including, but not limited to, faculty) to take graduate-level courses without paying tuition. See I.R.S. Non-Docketed Serv. Adv. Review 2010-39-01F (July 27, 2010. In that case, the university required each "employee receiving graduate tuition waivers [to] complete an Employee Waiver Contract which stipulates that he or she will reimburse [the school] if the employee leaves [the school's] employment within one year of completion of the graduate coursework." Id. In addition, the authors are personally aware of faculty tuition-reduction benefits that are structured as loan contracts. Under the terms of the loan contracts with which the authors are familiar, the univ...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
