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.

Overall the concepts are explained well but there are technical errors present especially in visualizations. This is true for all 4 courses in the specialization

Quite good basics. Missing the introduction of some other basic concepts (like depreciation) to "hook" the student in what it will be come in the next course....

Course was very good. Had some issues with the final quiz as the workbook didn't load into excel correctly. There were issues with the general ledger in excel.

Inconsistencies in the lectures, Final exam in an excel format never introduced, and an irritating and patronizing animated lecturer made for a tedious course.

To be honest, it was very simple, little information for a whole month. But everything was explained clearly. Would definitely recommend for those who are new

It was paced nicely, with solid examples, and almost fun quizzes but it's super lame that Canadians cannot do the last final exam through Intuit. Thumbs down!

Good course with lots of information. I think it would be beneficial to have the final excel workbook with answers available after the test completion.

It would be helpful if we were shown the correct answers and placement of entries in the ledger instead of just the correct answers and no explanation.

Great foundational courses. The avatar however could use some work on being a better presense, I found them a bit hard to take seriously or listen to.

It is a very good course, quite descriptive but I think it would be good if they offered us other online platforms to carry out accounting processes

Is a great refresher if you already have some accounting and bookkeeping knowledge. Rated it a fours because of the inaccuracies in the subtitles.

I wish there was more feedback provided in week 4 quiz. It was difficult for me to figure out what I got wrong when posting to the general ledger.

Alot of content. I did not always have a good understanding of the definitions. I frequently had to look for more information outside this corse.

Very easy to understand Bianca and all the other Instructors. Though Kristie needs a bit of a louder microphone but she is very knowledgeable.

Books and additional research were needed to make me feel more comfortable with a couple of the concepts. Overall, this is a great course.

Easier to understand then pther bookkeeping courses I've tried. If it had a little more hands on assignments i think it would be perfect.

Great overview of bookkeepers role and daily activities. Good for beginners. Needs more hand-on training for unadjusted trial balance.

Great course! I wish the excel doc had formulas in it or some way to help me see where I was going astray and understand how to fix it.

It would be more useful and practical to have more hands on test with the general ledger. I should not have passed that final quiz.
