Under this system, the professor goes through the material and prepares a lecture for the class. The material is then presented to the students, typically using PowerPoint or some other visual graphics. The students are then asked to engage in some exercises, either in or outside of class, and replicate what the professor has performed. In an effort to improve student learning, this paper describes an alternate approach to instructionthe Read-Do-Research Model. The Read-Do-Research model does not involve extensive lectures or require slides. Instead, the students are required to "dig out" what they need to solve the problems. While this method may seem foreign to many educators, it is the position of this paper that this may be a far superior method of student learning when compared to the conventional approach.

However, because students have little prior knowledge of the subject matter, their view of "good teaching" may be more tied to how well they like the teacher. Therefore, this paper suggests that the relationship between teaching and learning may actually be negative. By teaching "well", do we rob our students of the opportunity to learn?

Critics believe that any allocations are arbitrary and cause incorrect decisions; however, allocations are integral to new cost systems such as Resource Consumption Accounting (RCA) and Granzplankostenrechnung (GPK). We find that support cost allocations are inadequately incorporated into most cost systems. The reason is not that there is little cross-departmental use of services or that accounting systems are inadequate. Rather, the belief of financial managers that the information is useful is the main factor critical to firms' use of support cost allocation systems. These results have implications for systems implementation and education.
