In order to obtain the data of the study, a questionnaire was applied to 208 students by using the questionnaire form based on the 5-point Likert scale made by Duman, Apak and Yücenurşen (2015) and the information form determining the demographic characteristics. The study findings were first evaluated on the basis of frequency distributions and percentages. In the next step, as a result of factor analysis, 21 judgment statements were classified under 7 factors. Factors related to these judgments are expressed as self-confidence, anxiety, desire, uncertainty, prejudice, excitement and necessity. Finally, the Chi-square test was conducted for the relationships between demographic characteristics and judgments about the accounting course. According to the chi-square test findings, “I am worried about my post-graduation career”, “I think the understanding of accounting will make me a more productive individual”, “When people are motivated, they can learn and apply accounting information systems” and “Learning accounting is a new skill, what is it?
