Course needs a walk through on how the answers were found for journal entries, general ledger, balance sheets, and income statements for the workbooks

There where a few glitchy modules or places where the math didn't add up. Also, there was no way to reach out for clarification if I didn't understand on a quiz.

Having a hard time with the actual journal practices. Would love a "review" file where everything is correct to compare-maybe after the test? So confusing.
