After taking this course, I can see where & how I can apply my skills and love for numbers. I am confident in my decision and cant wait to put all the pieces together.
Thank you, Coursera & Intuit!

This course is so GOOD! I needed to brush up on my Bookkeeping Skills, and I am glad that I chose Coursera to help me do this. I love the Step by Step Lessons and the videos are AWESOME! Thank you!

I think the final exam should SHOW YOU the work so you KNOW you are doing it right. I wanted to see the absolute correct Balance sheet, income statement, retained earnings JE, etc. We weren't taught those 100%. Also "clicking "the number and moving it into the highlighted field is not TEACHING it.

Information was presented out of order at times, with assessments including questions for which answers were not yet provided. The interactive learning was choppy as well, with more submitting, continuing, and switching videos than necessary. Still received good information though.

Pretty good course overall, the videos are a little too flashy, the plugins need work and I had some issues understanding or finishing the final quiz. But it did a good enough job teaching me about Bookkeeping Basics that I feel confident to move forward learning the next course

I think this course should be more detailed. It's kind of fast pace if you never did bookkeeping before. I was lucky enough to already have some experience in bookkeeping. Maybe should have a little more detail to bookkeeping. Credit and Debit could have a little more detail.

There was an area on the final test that could have used some clarification as to how the income statement was pulling from the general ledger & trial balance. I had to backtrack my answer to try and figure out but still came up correct on one but wrong on the other.

Generally good. Would have been helpful if there were the final forms of the Income Statement, Trial Balance, and General Ledger so that you could compare your answers with the students. The entire section on Inventory, COGS was very confusing and not easy to follow.

The information in the course is excellent, an absolutely fantastic introduction or refresher, however the cartoon style and low quality accents in voice acting made the content a lot harder to pay attention to and seemed to add some unnecessary time to the course.

The videos were a little cheesy and didn't cover debits and credits well enough. They literally said that the more I practice, the more I will understand without giving any instruction first. That is not helpful! If I practice incorrectly, I will learn incorrectly!

I thought the course was very interesting and I enjoyed the content however, I'm not sure if I missed something crucial in the course content but at the end I felt I was thrown into a bookkeeping final test without much actual practice beforehand.

Bianca is annoying. I am tired of hearing 'oh honey' in her Brooklyn/Boston accent. Where is she from? Is she made up? Also the 'expert' with the headset needs to format her thoughts before recording her videos. She says 'ummm' entirely too much.

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.

There isn't enough depth in the coursework to answer some of these questions. If I hadn't had experience in some of this previously this inition course wouldn't have made any sense. It was too broad a topic with no depth to the lessons.

I learned a lot from the course however, the testing was completely different from the Intuit academy. However, I still feel like I learned the basics of bookkeeping but not a lot of the right information for studying for the exam

A lot of concepts were glanced over and not covered in detail. Practice assignments are confusing. I learned more just by taking the terms that were being covered and looking them up on youtube and accounting websites.

There was so much I still didn't know going into the Case Study Quiz at the end. I had to research outside of coursera to know how to fill in the general ledger. The course should have prepared us more for this.

Unless I missed a lot of the lectures or teachings, there wasn't much teaching of the accounts and how they were classified. I also couldn't keep up with the experts as they moved through the QuickBooks screens.

The course provides a basic understanding of the subject, but never truly allows the students to learn with enough practice problems/situations. You also can't find completed explanations for the final project.

For my personal experience, it was taught in a way that is hard for me to understand and grasp. A think there was an attempt to make this more funny or more entertaining than understanding the material.

More time spent on double accounting, what is a credit vs debit in the chart of accounts to really cement that information. I feel this is the foundation and without that - difficult to move forward.

glanced over some more intricate topics and went too in depth on others. Rather than interviews with bookkeepers - more practice and cases would be better. Bianca is condescending to my intellect.

Some important parts of Bookkeeping Basics like Payroll, Tax on Cryptocurrency etc which form parts of the Intuit Exams are missing. The Bookkeeping Basics on Coursera should be upgraded or updated.

Although I have no background in bookkeeping or accounting, I feel that this lesson should have been longer and more in depth. Overall, the way the subject is presented and taught is fine.

I think more practice would be great, make the practices harder less put this here, put this there. Let us think for ourselves. The best way to remember is repetition. Not enough of that.

Parts of the course were missing, in all weeks, generally in the 15 minute timeframes in the course overviews. I reported and received the "instructions" which did not resolve the issue.
