Ruth Bennington's Accounting Courses

Below are several links that will take you to more information about my courses.

How to find your class

To find your class, sign into your my.vcccd.edu portal.  (Please use Chrome and disable pop-up blockers).  In the top, right corner, click on My Courses and you will be brought to your Canvas dashboard.  If you don't see your class, click on the All Courses link, find it there and "star" it by clicking the star next to the course name so it will show up on your dashboard.  

Tech Support for the portal and Canvas

If you have problems accessing the portal, we have support for students at Online Student Support.  If you have any difficulty with Canvas, click the Help icon in your account navigation bar (at the very left of the Canvas page). From there you can search the Canvas Guides or contact the Helpline.

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that all students can succeed and my role is to walk with them on their journey.  I embrace social justice and equity, and actively promote their importance in my classes.  I want my students not just to master the material, but also to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that they will use in all walks of life.  I want them to develop a love for learning.  

I promote a collegial, respectful and enquiring classroom ethos and encourage questions, discussions, and feedback. I am a member of an organization whose mission is the elimination of generational poverty through education, and I try to live that mission every day. To quote Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
