It is a great course for beginers like me to start to learn about accounting. The concepts are easy to understand, and the examples are very helpful for understanding. I like the virtual students btw.

I took Brian Bushee's course and found him to be one of the BEST INSTRUCTORS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. If you've had trouble with accounting courses in the past, HE IS THE INSTRUCTOR FOR YOU!!!

Ce cours initie aux fondamentaux de la discipline de façon incrementale, appuyé d'exemples.

J'en ressors avec une vision plus claire de la compta, et je recommande vivement.

Loved everything about it.

Hated that explanations for incorrect answers are unavailable. Understand the reasoning, but still hate it. Feels like an incomplete education.

Thanks to the Professor for his time and effort and developing a wonderful online course. I wish there was a quiz for Financial Ratios too as I learn better through exams.

The pace of the course was perfect, well taught by professor Brian J. Bushee with simplicity, but on the other hand is full-filled with loads of details and information.

Very good overview and the intensive review of examples was especially helpful. I did find the virtual students strange at first but also came to be very fond of them.

I like how the videos are fun to watch and more interactive although accounting topics are quite complicated and needs some more reviews to be understood completely.
