Hi Kathleen! Thanks for your comments! Even though I taught Accounting (perhaps less creative than fashion illustration - smile), I would have students that had difficulty following the accounting cycle when working on assignments outside of class. I would give them examples as well as a "guide sheet" (I called them cheat sheets) as a resource. Taking the extra time for explanation and assistance, as you reference, is really the key.
