| Abstract: | This paper reports on a research oriented accounting course designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students. Topic selection, hypothesis construction and a research proposal are developed within the course through four building block assignments and a scavenger hunt. As an awareness enhancer a journal search identifies specific accounting issues researched and/or discussed in the literature. An ideas matrix collects the essence of potential topics, and three topics are developed into hypotheses based on problem statements. The design of a project culminates in a research blueprint. |
