Cool course!

Guys, who can't answer question #3 in the last test check this: Trial Balance is a representative of each nominal ledger account and will hold either Debit or Credit Balance, not both.

The material doesn't lend itself to a captivating tale but it is presented very well and the fact that it can be done at one's own rate is wonderful for those of us who have limited time.

I am too angry with this curriculum to write anything constructive at this time. The lack of quality/accuracy/usefulness of this material is scary since so many people use Intuit products to support their livelihoods. Instructors, your job is not to evade questions or answer with corporate responses like "We are looking into it", we know it is not happening. It does not take six months to fix a typo - I know, I wrote training material for a living, but it doesn't take six months. As an instructor, your job is to educate, to guide the learner through the subject. That means actively engaging in discussion and providing more definitive answers to questions. If there is an issue with a question in a quiz or lab, don't just browbeat the learner with some obscure platitude. Instead, since questions are tied to specific sections of the course, suggest to the student they go back to the supporting section for review.

Actually create a workbook that has the student apply the concepts taught in all the courses to doing the books for the same company. You kind of did it in the course presentations. This way, the student would have a consistent enviroment to work with eg common set of accounts to be used.

Review your instructions. They are not clear. They read like somebody rushed through typing something in without thinking about it. if your intending to have something broken in a worksheet, it is best to clearly indicate it, because it is clear that what is presented does not reflect real world. And for learners just starting, that isn't needed. I was shocked at the number of people tagged as unenrolled!

Drop the talking heads. It got so tiresome listening to people who I had no idea of who they were and their signficance the program. This is a subject that requires a lot of hands on practice to master. A workbook with lots of problems would have been a lot better. Also a talking animated character teaching/guiding through all these modules really dropped the credability of this material. Honestly what was presented by these people was no different than what I was reading in "Bookkeeping for Dummies".

This course was good for providing an overall view of the bookkeeping process, but there were many frustrations and errors throughout. Checking the forums for answers, I've found that the same problems with incorrect answers and incomplete information have persisted for years without being fixed. While the course did give me some knowledge, it gave me more anxiety than it was worth. I'm surprised that a company as big as Intuit would release such shoddy educational resources. I'm a good student so I persisted in figuring things out on my own, which caused a 1-hour case study to turn into 3 or 4 hours of work (maybe more). I feel bad for anyone who may have invested in this program but was unable to put in the time to research their own information just to complete this course. Even the meager $24.50 I spent was not worth the cost. I would not recommend anyone taking this as their intro to bookkeeping as it would probably discourage them enough to turn them off to the career choice.

Not what I wanted or expected in the course at all.

I signed up for this class to be given hands-on lessons on how to use Quickbooks. I am stuck watching videos 90% of the time, and forced to do Excel sheets the rest.

Everything you learn will require supplementary information from other websites because there are no true notes available, just subtitles for the videos.

You will not be given enough practice to do or understand anything by the time you do your final grades, so be prepared to be extremely frustrated if you don't immediately understand what you're doing.

if I didn't need a document to prove my job skills these days, I'd quit and demand my $50 back.

Eh, not very good or informative. Information is dull, not the best and their is not enough true and legitimate practice opportunities given.

Final case study feedback is poor and their answers for some of the questions like final debit/credit balance in the trial balance and total assets in the balance sheet seem wrong. Some feedback there would be appreciated.

I suggest other students to not take their "mistakes" on the final exam too seriously. Just make sure your debits and credits balance out and make sense.

The instructor is FANTASTIC. Just want to put that out there first. But there are a few typos that lead to incorrect quiz answers which are mildly frustrating. More frustrating is Coursera's platform. Constantly having to reload the page to get the "Continue" button to appear is enough to make me not want to finish this course. And yes, I've tried switching browsers, clearing cache, trying a different computer and even using the mobile app. Same issue across all platforms.

I think they need to help us understand if we got a question wrong on the case study what the errors were and what the correct answer should be. It is imperative in learning to understand your mistakes so you can figure out how in future to make sure entries are correct.. Showing us what the correct case study spreadsheet should look like would help us sort where we placed incorrect data so that we place it in the correct area when working for a client.

Although you learn a thing or two. It does not offer much hands on training, mostly videos. It would be best if there was actual data intro assignments relating to the video and subject that is being taught at the time. The data entry happens after the course is completed which is useless because them then, for a beginner like myself, you forget mostly everything that was taught.

Like that this course is more inactive than the last and I've learned a lot. BUT since I don't reside in the US I can't take the exam. Fine, the Intuit Academy is American, surely there is an alternative exam you could provide for the rest of the world's inhabitants.

Disappointed to say the least.

I found this section to be very frustrating. Correct answers or help were not given when a question was repeatedly answered wrong, therefore no feedback or learning. Also the case study at the end doesn't show mistakes or guidance in order to learn what it is we may be missing.

After completing 2 of the 4 courses, the website would not let me enroll in #3. I tried multiple browsers and Coursera support could not find the issue. I feel I wasted my time and money doing the first 2 when I could have been pursuing another certificate.

Information overload with not a lot of guidance on the final case study. You have to have the correct answers on the case study to take the final quiz, but there's no teacher or someone to go over your case study and show you where and why you went wrong.

Breezy overview and too easy guided assignments do not give enough actual practice for each element, to prepare for the exam. Several videos also did not work. Very hard to to the detailed work without an exemplar or more graduated exercises.

It is very difficult being that they show you how to do everything in Quickbooks but when it comes to the Quizzes you have to use excel. It would be much more beneficial that they use the same program for both.

this needs way more thorough teaching in all of these categories for us to really grasp the concepts that we need to learn. very confusing and it moves along way too quickly between topics.

If I hadn't had to waste SO MUCH time listening to the ridiculous narrative they wrote to try to make it more interesting, I would have rated it 4 stars at least.

Most of the course was well done, there are several glitches and lack of information and guidance regarding the final assignment. It needs to be improved.

The information is decent. The production value, the cartoon and the 'script' are terrible and make it difficult to complete.

Very few of the practices actually show you what you are doing wrong. Makes it harder to learn
