Prof Brian is a genius! He managed to overhaul what is typically perceived as a drudging content to a fun and interesting ride! Thank you for that extra cherry on top, it made all the difference!

maybe it is me, but exam #3 has some contradictory information because upon reviewing feedback there were instances where an item would be correct. and after a new test it would be deemed incorrect.

The digital "students" in between lectures are quite distracting and I think the instructor tried to make it realistic by having them in the lectures, but most of the times their english is weird and mechanic and also some scenes like students sleeping cuz bored... These are waste of time and not fun at all, after many repetitions of such scenes. Got distracted throughout the course

I think that the professor is very nice. The problem I had with this course was that I learned how to calculate some things, but I don't really understand why do I calculate them. I think that this course is not for future accountants - because it is not in-depth enough, so it should be less about calculating things and more about what is accounting actually about.

The lectures are long and not as efficiently or logically organized as they could be in order to impart the basic understanding that the quizzes ultimately ask for. I found myself using the PDFS and it was easier to follow that way.

The professor spends too much course time making jokes and banter with the fake students. Lectures feel very rushed and definitions not well explained. Please remove the fake students and just answer the questions.

The information in this class is really mismanaged. When presenting math and policy, state them first, and then allow students to work through how to apply them. What I marveled at through the two modules I took before I gave up is how much effort it takes to screw up the presentation of something as linear as equations, rules and procedure. Present cheat sheet for printing at the beginning of the course and then give us problems to work through. I spent way too much time guessing at obscure nuances through the quizzes.

The instructor is nice, but this course is NOT suitable for beginners. The prior knowledge needed to succeed in this course is not covered, and the homework quizzes are extremely challenging and filled with trick questions and uses terminology that is not known to beginners.
