Abstract

In the study, a questionnaire was used to measure the perceptions of foreign students at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences who have taken the General Accounting course at least once. Among all students who took the questionnaire in the spring term of 2022, the data of 149 appropriate participants were evaluated with the IBM SPSS 26 statistical program according to gender, age, department, class, nationality and course grades of the students. No statistical difference was found in the perceptions regarding the General Accounting course in terms of department and age of the students. It was found that there were partial statistical differences in terms of their class, gender, nationality and grades. It was also determined that most of the students are of the opinion that the General Accounting course should not be offered via distance education and that they can communicate well with the lecturers who teach the course.
