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 got stuck at the end. When adding all of the debits I had to choose the multiple choice that was closest rounding down. all of my ither answers were correct based off of my journal entry.

Gives good information, but the final case study is confusing and unorganized.

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.

Material is easy to understand and very basic. The assignments are just ok. I find videos very annoying because I never know if they contain useful information or if this is just 2 minutes wasted on entertainment, goofy jokes, etc. I'd rather have something to the point. Some of the material was split up too much with too many 1-2 minute videos. 5-10 minute video to the point with relevant information and less entertainment would be better. I tried to cut down on clutter and watched some at faster speed or was able to skip ahead. Overall, this whole basic course doesn't have much substance and should be just one module of another.

There's little to nothing to read. Nearly all of the lessons force you to watch an unbearable, unlikeable, and obnoxious cartoon character. A simple downloadable PDF with the required information would have been more than enough to suffice. This course could be condensed to about a third of its present length and filled with more relevant material. We're adult learners, not 5 year olds who need loud noises and distracting colors to keep us engaged.

It's fantastic that you can audit this course for free to understand the basics of accounting and quickbooks; but be warned that the majority of the material is presented by an animated, supernanny-meets-accounting "tv series". I was really hoping for professional lectures, and I'm disappointed by the way the course is taught. Maybe this is just how the first course runs...we shall see.

Meh. Not really very hands-on or repetitive. For tactile learners, it is really lacking imo. Too many videos and cutesy stuff and not enough actual learning. Bianca is kind of rude and annoying. Quite a few incorrect terms and typos which could confuse others. I feel like I would learn more just by using QuickBooks and practicing. Don't really feel like I learned much.

The topic is interesting and made it clear enough, short videos which are good, but I feel like we are being talked to as if we were children and as I am not 4 years old anymore, I feel it is difficult to continue. They made the course simple and accessible but the way of speaking is not for me and I have to score down.

In my opinion, more detailed, hands on examples are necessary. At the end of "four weeks" I still struggled with the nuts and bolts of ledger and trial balance entries. There are little interactive lessons throughout, but these are extremely basic and didn't really prepare me for the more difficult exercise at the end.
