    Overall great. One issue was that the meaning of shortcuts where not on the slides and therefore searching in the videos was necessary. Another way for inprovement would be a reference on each slide or beginning of a slidedeck regarding a topic where to find this in the topic in the additional literature/book provided.

    Good intro course to accounting. I had done a BBA with a few accounting classes and I found it to be easy so even someone with half the prerequisite knowledge would be able to find their way just fine. The instructor was good too!

    Confusing and Frustrating. I do not recommend this course unless you are already an Accountant.

    The Course itself is flawed withing the quizzes and possibly poor editing of the videos makes passing quizzes on the first go around very difficult. I took 2 Bookkeeping Courses prior to this course and I feel that is the ONLY reason I was able to complete this course. This may be a Continuing Education Course for Accountants NOT a course for beginners!

    Good Luck!

    I recommend Intuit's Academy of Bookkeeping

    The learning experience was great. It was such a refresher course for me but I still learned a lot from Prof. Davis. I appreaciate the modules and how the whole course run through. It was very easy to understand even though it was full packed of lessons. Prof. Davis also gave clear explanation to everything specially to all the computations we need to do in accounting. Truly, it was such an amazing learning experience.

    The course is really fruitful. It provided me the information of financial system in the USA. Various topics such as, GAAP, revenue recognition, ration analysis, etc. helped me to refresh my mind and review with the subject I have learned before during my college days. The presentation style and lecture of the lecturer was simple and easy to understand.
