I appreciate all the examples Professor Andrea provided quality visual examples that helped me understand the lessons. I wasn't confident at times, but her walk-throughs saved me.

The exam questions are really easy and little effort was given to their complexity but they entertain core concepts. A majority don't require much thought because you just match the dollar amount in the question to the answer. The course was decent though for recognizing transactions and giving you a visual on what you're working with. Some steps went by quick but you can always pause and go back.

Not bad. Gave me the very basics that I was looking for. Tests were not much of a challenge. a textbook as part of the course would have made the course more college level.

A bit too basic and not enough depth. Would've liked more detail.

I think the material presented was succinct and clear in the videos, and the accompanying worksheets were great practice. From videos and exercises, I learned a lot. However, I was frustrated with the quizzes, almost all of which had errors and typos. Typically at least one question either had no correct answer, or when the correct answer was selected, it was marked as incorrect even if you answered verbatum what the video said. This did make the learning process confusing at times. It would be nice if these would be fixed for future students.

I took this course as a review and as such it was perfect. It glossed through topics with very basic practice exercises. However, if you're looking to really understand the material and have more in-depth opportunities to practice bookkeeping skills, I'd recommend the Intuit certificate. I was also disappointed that one of the quiz questions had an incorrect answer that students have been commenting on for several years without anyone (Coursera or the instructor) ever bothering to correct it.

Good video instruction and examples but incorrect marking of quizzes that is not fixed a year after students complain.
