The lectures are great and easy to understand, and the examples are well explained and easy to follow. The professor explains the material in a very understandable way .

Very helpful and full of information. In my opinion it would be even better if it was a bit slower and a bit more analytical. My 4 stars is more like 4 stars and a half.
von JO13. Feb. 2020
I recommend this course for non-accounting people, who want to learn and start to know accounting. If you make the exercises and examples you can learn a lot.

The course ties in the other ones nicely. Its "final exam" was a great real-world application. It should've been combined with the other two classes though!
