the information is a bit dated and there are little to no students taking this so no peers to review your work....

The pace of the course is too slow. The author focuses on distracting topics rather than covering the basics of financial statements. Example is focusing on bio of owners of a dance studio and then just mentioning the definition of a type of asset in a single sentence. One of the most awful courses I've done on this platform.

I completed the entire course and because I cannot submit peer reviews I have not received my certificate. Absolutely a waste of my time wish I didn't bother with the course.
