Abstract :Accounting courses have a specific logic which should be instructed in the best way during lessons.  Students who conceive this basic logic like and show interest to accounting courses and those who  don’t conceive it become disinterested. In general, student’s success in courses such as Inventory and  Balance Sheet, Financial Statement Analysis etc. which are follow-ups of Financial Accounting courses  vary depending on their general accounting knowledge. This means that the basis of accounting  education consists of initially provided general accounting knowledge. This research aims to determine  the prominent factors that affect the students’ adequately receiving such initially provided knowledge,  and the most important factor has been determined as "academicians/instructors” based on the survey  involving student from three universities.
