Debits, credits, and the balance sheet identity.
the shape of this subject
Accounting is a discipline of consistency. Brainback trains you to write the journal entry before you touch the statement.
Because accounting rewards the students who do the reps — and punishes the ones who outsource them.
Add Accounting as a Learn subject and every problem in these areas routes to the Socratic tutor — attempt-first, hint-laddered, output-guarded.
Attempt → correction → guiding question. No answer. Ever. Verbatim from a beta session.

What accounts change? By how much? Which side?
no answer · one guiding question · your next move
the anti-pattern
Answer machines make accounting look like a solved problem. It isn't. The exam room reveals whose reasoning was built and whose was rented.
the recall card
Every wrong attempt and low-scored explain-back becomes a card. SM-2 schedules them — the tricky ones come back tomorrow, the solid ones drift out to next week, then next month.
Recall the core concept in your own words. Then apply it to a fresh example under 2 minutes.
The subject where the shortcut has always been most expensive.
The subject where wrong feels right — until Brainback slows you down.
Proofs and combinatorics for people who like clean edges.
Draw the free-body diagram. Actually draw it.
Balance the equation. In the right order.
Systems, not slogans.
