Accounting courses are horrific, but in fairness they try to get you up to speed on the basics before diving into the detail.

A typical CSI 101 course is often like this -- you learn about operators, etc without understanding how things actually work until later.

I had really great accounting professors, who explained WHY things were done.

As with anything else, assume a normal distribution of teaching talent, and hope you end up being taught by somebody on the right side of the curve.
