After taking this course, I can see where & how I can apply my skills and love for numbers. I am confident in my decision and cant wait to put all the pieces together.
Thank you, Coursera & Intuit!

This course was well put together. I used to feel so intimidated by finances. The interactive videos and practice exercises do a fantastic job of explaining concepts learned throughout this course.

The content is good and the animated instructor is easy to listen to and understand. There was many tecnical issues. The first few "You try It" exercises would end with the text "this completes the exercise", subsequent would not, and there were exersices that had a coninute button that didnt work, leaving me only to mark as complete even though I didn't know if the exercise was completed. There is no course intructor to contact about issues! This course counts on community discussion of any questions, meaning you most likely will not get help if you need it. With the questions for week four exam, it did help to go search the forum for answers. (also, remember google is your friend) Though it is a fairly easy and straight forward course. I enyojed it, and will continue with Coursera for the professional Certificate.

I love the videos and the simulations. This is a very comprehensive learning program with real life application. It's fun and interesting as well as very educational. I would like to review the course materials from time to time as a refresher. The only issue I had was that sometiimes the Quizzes do not accept a variety of different number formats, so I would be counted as wrong answers even when my answer was correct.

I wish there were some hands-on activities as well as access to QuickBooks so that we can play around with it. Some plugins still have the continue button even though that's the end of that plugin, it's better that it says that that's the end of the plugin, which some plugins did. Some instructions also wasn't clear and it can be a little bit confusing at times. Overall, a great course! Thank you for this

I thought this course gave foundational idea of being a Bookkeeper. I have two suggestions. First, include more hands-on, workbook-style activities. Second, have the Case Studies answer key available to be able to double check after, so one can see if they have correctly filled out the ledger.

It was very informative, and I enjoyed demonstrating my skills by using the interactive simulations. The Bookkeeping Case Study was a bit difficult because the spreadsheet was not formatted properly. I scored a 90 on the final exam, but I am quite sure the answer I got wrong was correct.

Good course, but I wish it included more general accounting software, too.

The information given starts out seeming much too basic to be useful, but it gets more in-depth as you progress through the modules. The use of the flash animation of "Bianca" as your instructor is, frankly, stupid and insulting. Her dialogue and intentionally annoying accent is extremely detrimental to the course. It's difficult to take it seriously because of this, and I almost cancelled on several occasions in the early modules. The quality of the information began to improve by mid module 2, so I stuck it out and finished. The practical application of the ledgers and balance sheet for the final test was a step in the right direction but could have been much more comprehensive.

I feel like there needs to be more details taught, more time spent on general journal, general ledger, income statements, trial balances etc. I finished this course with a huge struggle at the end. I had to watch a ton of youtube videos trying to do the worksheets because the course didn't spend enough time explaining it. Leave out the online tutorial of quickbooks until we understand how to manually write the info and are able to follow along with quickbooks. I didn't know what they were talking about because I was still struggling with doing it on paper.

This course was okay. I didn't really enjoy the commentary of Bianca and Lou, it was kind of hokey and the voice wasn't that 'professional' to listen to while completing this course. I prefered reading it. This course went over a lot of basics, but as a bookkeeper and professional in this field, I think there need to be more of a core understanding of the bookeeping process before jumping into general ledgers. There are a lot of things not covered here, but maybe they'll be covered in the next few courses.

I enjoyed the course. I would've like to do more practice on the different sheets. Would like to have worked on the module 4 workbook throughout the module. Also more guides or videos to break down sheets and the workbook.

not being able to take an exam that's offered for free at the end of the course is a bit disappointing. Should be known at the start that if not a US resident you cannot enrol.

The content id good and the interactivity feels nice but I was hoping something more serious/professional with less jokes. Nevertheless, thank you for the course

Good information but insufficient practice time. I don't feel that I'll be ready to actually do the work even after passing the certification test.

Too childish- especially with the animation and script. I am interested to learn, not go through a Cartoon show. Beside that,it was good.

I felt like I learned the basics of bookkeeping. However, I was not huge fan of the videos or the way the activities were formatted.

Was not very detailed. Had to do a lot of self study. Was good for basic guidelines and a brief overview. Character is annoying.

nice refresher. Wish there way more lessons we could practice with. Like a workbook for the students just on transactions etc.

The course was to generic. I wish they included more explanationd on chart of account, accounting basics.
Thank you
