Overall great course. Still unclear about some things and there is no way to clarify. That would make it better. But besides that this course is well done.

If you are a numbers person - question #3 on final quiz will drive you insane. I haven't found anyone who has gotten the correct answer. It was an informative course.

The QB illustrations are very poor in image. It's so blurry and difficult to follow. Then the last test is given in excel sheets. Why not QB test. I couldn't follow the tet instructions and failed. I even paid for 2 months that I didn't use out of discouragement.

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. This course and the Liabilities and Equity in Accounting have more errors than the other two.

I really enjoyed the course. I do wish there were more opportunities for more practice manually putting in data instead of a point and click option. I learn from actually doing the work not just reading and watching others show me now it's done.

The quizzes and activities during the online lectures are too leading. Then when you're faced with the end-of-course case study, you're a little lost.

Good information but insufficient practice time. I don't feel that I'll be ready to actually do the work even after passing the certification test.

Does not efficiently prepare beginners for the test. Needs to include more practice content, to be completed by the trainee, with not as much help.

Some principles were covered too quickly, Final Project did not provide instructions on what assumptions to use to complete inventory tab.

The details of how most aspects of this particular course could have been explained far better. Assets in Accounting was a bit confusing.

The quiz grading is terrible and needs work. Format has to be too specific. Right answers marked wrong all over the place.

It is a good introductory course, it's easy to understand. Adding more examples would improve the course greatly.

Lots of technical failures with audio, which affected instruction, and some of the content did not seem to fit.

I am too angry with this curriculum to write anything constructive at this time. The lack of quality/accuracy/usefulness of this material is scary since so many people use Intuit products to support their livelihoods. Instructors, your job is not to evade questions or answer with corporate responses like "We are looking into it", we know it is not happening. It does not take six months to fix a typo - I know, I wrote training material for a living, but it doesn't take six months. As an instructor, your job is to educate, to guide the learner through the subject. That means actively engaging in discussion and providing more definitive answers to questions. If there is an issue with a question in a quiz or lab, don't just browbeat the learner with some obscure platitude. Instead, since questions are tied to specific sections of the course, suggest to the student they go back to the supporting section for review.

Actually create a workbook that has the student apply the concepts taught in all the courses to doing the books for the same company. You kind of did it in the course presentations. This way, the student would have a consistent enviroment to work with eg common set of accounts to be used.

Review your instructions. They are not clear. They read like somebody rushed through typing something in without thinking about it. if your intending to have something broken in a worksheet, it is best to clearly indicate it, because it is clear that what is presented does not reflect real world. And for learners just starting, that isn't needed. I was shocked at the number of people tagged as unenrolled!

Drop the talking heads. It got so tiresome listening to people who I had no idea of who they were and their signficance the program. This is a subject that requires a lot of hands on practice to master. A workbook with lots of problems would have been a lot better. Also a talking animated character teaching/guiding through all these modules really dropped the credability of this material. Honestly what was presented by these people was no different than what I was reading in "Bookkeeping for Dummies".

This course was good for providing an overall view of the bookkeeping process, but there were many frustrations and errors throughout. Checking the forums for answers, I've found that the same problems with incorrect answers and incomplete information have persisted for years without being fixed. While the course did give me some knowledge, it gave me more anxiety than it was worth. I'm surprised that a company as big as Intuit would release such shoddy educational resources. I'm a good student so I persisted in figuring things out on my own, which caused a 1-hour case study to turn into 3 or 4 hours of work (maybe more). I feel bad for anyone who may have invested in this program but was unable to put in the time to research their own information just to complete this course. Even the meager $24.50 I spent was not worth the cost. I would not recommend anyone taking this as their intro to bookkeeping as it would probably discourage them enough to turn them off to the career choice.
