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 'Teacher' does not do a good job in explaining things - definitions, examples, concepts. Things are only explained in one sentence usually or only given 1 example, and expects the 'student' to understand fully. This is supposed to be a beginners course yet it is very difficult for those without prior knowledge nor experience to understand since everything is only lightly grazed over.
Take the final exam at the end of the course for example - the student is taught & shown how Quickbooks will automate everything and run reports and organize the categories via its system. Even in the real case studies by the real bookkeepers in the videos they were using Quickbooks. Yet in the exam, the student is expected to do this manually all by themselves via a manual Excel sheet, to know the behind-the-scenes of the workings of Quickbooks already. This is for a beginner or those without accounting knowledge? The instructions on the exam and excel file provided was also extremely confusing - not only were the instructions unclear, but FYI even greyed out boxes almost always mean do NOT fill in yet here it is the complete opposite. How confusing! Perhaps another color or indicator would be utmost helpful!
Had I not already have some working experience and knowledge, I would have been so confused and have failed enormously on this exam. The layout and format of the courses is also confusing and not user-friendly. The plug-ins most of the time you do not know whether it's truly done and even cannot repeat nor go backwards because it's a plug-in. There's no progress bar either. There's a Next button as well as a Continue button AND a Mark as Completed button. Which button is the student supposed to press?? And turns out, they do not all mean the same thing either... So confusing! There is plenty of room for improvement for this class, and I hope it is done before more 'students' take this course so as not to waste anyone's time and money and energy.
