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 have learned a great deal of basic bookkeeping in this course but have limited knowledge on how to actually perform all of the duties. This first course set a solid foundation to build upon.

This is a preparation course, good information but you will still have to take the exam which cost $150. It would of been nice to coursera to explain this from the start. Do better coursera.

The lessons were too basic to develop the understanding needed for the final project. I would've appreciated more small assignmnets throughout the course that were a little more challenging.

very good introductory course. It really helped me understand the basics of bookkeeping. I wish there were more examples and practice questions (with more detailed explanation on the case)

I enjoyed learning from this course Bookkeeping Basics. Having had zero knowledge about Bookkeeping and limited knowledge about Finance. Content and practice videos were easy to follow.

Very helpful course for bookkeeping basics. Animated videos are a little sillier than they need to be, and the course would be more helpful with access to a live version of Quickbooks.

More examples would have been helpful.

One of the questions on the final exam appears to be wrong and unfortunately the feedback does not explain how the correct answer is arrived at.

There are a few terms that were not covered that were on quizzes and a few spelling errors on questions as well as the close captioning but in all a really good course.

The course is set up to retain information . However, towards the end when it begins to get more complicated, I believe the course should offer more hands on practice.

Overall, this is a pretty good course. I've had some previous exposure to the material, but for those who have not, I don't know who well this course would make sense.

In the last bookkeeping case assignment - it states the martins owe $250 but on the sheet it says $750. The sheet was also completely filled out when I downloaded it.

I'd give a 5 Star, but i found that some of the questions were not clear as to what was being asked. I will recommend the course for new bookies or as a refresher.

It is informative and basic as described. It is a little confusing at times on how to navigate at times. Some areas need more practice exercises and explanations.

Overall the concepts are explained well but there are technical errors present especially in visualizations. This is true for all 4 courses in the specialization

Quite good basics. Missing the introduction of some other basic concepts (like depreciation) to "hook" the student in what it will be come in the next course....

Course was very good. Had some issues with the final quiz as the workbook didn't load into excel correctly. There were issues with the general ledger in excel.

Inconsistencies in the lectures, Final exam in an excel format never introduced, and an irritating and patronizing animated lecturer made for a tedious course.

To be honest, it was very simple, little information for a whole month. But everything was explained clearly. Would definitely recommend for those who are new

It was paced nicely, with solid examples, and almost fun quizzes but it's super lame that Canadians cannot do the last final exam through Intuit. Thumbs down!

Good course with lots of information. I think it would be beneficial to have the final excel workbook with answers available after the test completion.

It would be helpful if we were shown the correct answers and placement of entries in the ledger instead of just the correct answers and no explanation.

Great foundational courses. The avatar however could use some work on being a better presense, I found them a bit hard to take seriously or listen to.
