The course was set up very well but, I would have just preferred to have some sort of workbook that allowed us practice with every aspect of documentation. Repetition makes me better.

Thank you.

I got stuck at the end. When adding all of the debits I had to choose the multiple choice that was closest rounding down. all of my ither answers were correct based off of my journal entry.

I enjoyed Bianca and the learning videos. Lots of examples to how to use accounting assumptions and class interaction. Some of the quizzes grading was not correct I had to flag a couple. This was great course I feel I can do this job now.

I am only giving four stars because when you make a mistake on the test, it does not give you the correct answer or any explanation to help you understand what you did wrong. Other than that, it was a great introduction into bookkeeping.

More practice and exposure to quickbooks will be of great help to the learner. Also, advance knowledge in basic taxes will be much appreciated as this is one of the primary reasons for individuals availing of the bookkeeping services.

This is a great course for someone who wants to be a bookkeeper or an accountant one day. Anyone can do it and at their own pace and time. I highly recommend it to anyone who sees themselves in the field of bookkeeping or accounting.

Quite good, but the final test had major errors that made it difficult to know what you should do (number in instructions not matching the one on the excel sheet) and said you had to fill in sections that were already filled in

If you want to learn very basic bookkeeping then this course is for you. This course only teach very few concepts of accounting and bookkeeping. And, if you are looking for learning quickbook then this is not a course for you.

Great for getting an idea of what the basics entail! I think it would benefit students to have a little more hands on experience suing QuickBooks though. Most of the coursework and explanations are incredibly straightforward!

Very insightful course for anybody trying to gain a basic understanding of accounting. I didn't come out a top tier book keeper but learned of a few concepts and accounting practices I had no knowledge of prior to his course.

I wish there was a little more practice entering credits and debits in dual entry, and a couple more of the complete case studies at the end. Great course, good information, I just would be more confident with more practice.

The lessons were clear and easy to understand. Very good course however I would have liked to have more practice I learn better by doing , so for me it would have been nice to have more practice but overall it was very good.

The hands-on exercises, especially the case study workbook, could use a little more detailed guidance for the student so they can feel a little more confident that they are going in the right direction with each section.

There needs to be more hands on lessons, inputting numbers into spreadsheets. Maybe using Quickbooks would be more beneficial like a trial version in the course that you can directly learn from and work with Quickbooks.

I really liked the class! I felt like it was a good high-level overview of what bookkeeping is and key concepts. The only complaint I have is that it didn't entirely prepare me for the Intuit Bookkeeping Certification.

This was informative; however, it was a little confusing when most of the lectures were about how to use Quickbooks, but the final was on a spreadsheet using techniques that were mentioned but not discussed in detail.

The fictional characters are kind of annoying and there's a lot of time spent on empty fluff but the course had a lot of great, easily accessible content. I like the practice modules interspersed with the videos.

Overall a good bootcamp course. The expert videos were a little hard to see and follow at times. Also, the expert viedos seemed like they were not created for this lesson but clips taken out of another video.

Overall a very straightforward class, but could use a little more concentration in the chapter on creating the unadjusted trail balance and the adjusted trial balance. I go a little confused at that point.

Over all very good course. However, there were some items that needed a little better explanation in the course. Also, some test questions needed better wording to properly determine what you were asking.

This course gave some vital information to get started in bookkeeping. I've had some accounting and business courses and this refreshed my memory for sure. Posting and creating financial reports was fun.

Very instructional, especially for a beginner! Sometimes it would be hard to follow- the screen a bit fuzzy, and some people's voices were a lot quieter than others. Good information- okay format.

Very basic but well done course for an introduction to bookkeeping concepts. It is not a hands-on how-to course but does provide a basic overview of the bookkeeper position and some terminology.

Some language is not clear and some details regarding debits and credits were not covered thoroughly enough for me, a beginner. Otherwise it's a good coure presented in a very user friendly way!

The animated narrator was overly jokey and had an irritating voice. The character should talk less and be more serious. It was better when the accountants/bookkeepers were talking, more useful.
