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!!!

Videos were great and helpful, especially with the questions in between. The forums are dated and feedback seems to be missing.

Very good course to refresh concepts, a bit hard for total beginners. All the concepts very well explained and good dynamics.

The latter part offers terrific demonstration on cash flows and ratio analysis. But the former part is kinda boring. Keep on!

Great course and goes very in-depth. Just needs some updating for 2023 as most of the content was dated as far back as 2015.

The data used for the case studies is old(2009-2013) and it gives the impression that the course is not as current.

Fantastic teacher. *****

Although the slides are good, I think a reference book or document would be very helpful.

Overall course is great, the only thing is that seems quite outdated. Would be good to have more recent examples.

Para melhorar o curso, acredito que seriam necessários algumas listas de exercícios para fixar melhor o conteúdo.

Informative and useful, even if, in my opinion, at times a bit boring, but that's probably due to the topic.
