It is an OK course, but for someone like me who had little background of finance still struggled in the class because I felt that many of the concept is no explained clearly. I understand that the professor tried to illustrate through examples but I felt that the example does not explain anything other than merely listed and repeated the numbers.

Regarding accounting, the course was not so easy for a beginner learner. Most example case questions were good, but I wish the instructor explicitly explained how to solve those questions. Also, I was disappointed that lots of questions in the discussion forums have not been answered by the instructor.

i really enjoyed the course since I had previous knowledge of the subject. However all the quizzes had questions that contained topics that were not discussed anyone in the lectures. For instance a question regarding LIFO reserve. Some of the topics were usually found in intermediate accounting.

Oversimplified. Most of the interesting topics have been avoided in this class and were only covered in the book which was optional.

Recommend the Introduction to Financial Accounting Course from UPenn, which is more informative and more engaging.

The content is clear, but the delivery is boring. I prefered the old fashion accounting module from Wharton.

Lots of info, but not any practical assignments that can help build this knowledge into practical skill.

Not consistent in terminology. That would not be a problem if the instructor pointed it out.

Generally liked it, would like more practical material and financial statement composition

The presenter was not impressive,same content shown in many way without any help.

Balance sheets used have mistakes. Also he needs to explain things better.

Really didnt like the teacher. The way of speaking etc is not helpful.

Not very informative and I didn't get a certificate on completion

I find accounting quite boring, so that's why I did not enjoy it.

The instructor talks very fast but he is good. I learn a lot

Sometimes, I feeled that more questions are needed.

it was nice experience and learning with coursera

good, but need to pay to attend test

language accent difficult to fallow

Confusing at some places

GOOD KNOWLEDGE

hi

Some concepts are poorly explained. I had to use external materials to supplement my learning, even though I have extensive experience in finance. I had a very bad experience learning about LIFO and FIFO principals. The professor didn't really go into the logic of calculating both methods or anything really behind the methods. In addition, it was really hard to understand the professor. I am a foreigner myself and I understand the language struggle. But I expect the professor teaching the course to pronounce the terms correctly. It added a challenge to comprehend already poorly explained material. The syllabus was great though. With external research and figuring out formulas on my own (due to lack of clear explanation), I was able to learn some useful materials.

I did't enjoy this course, although I did well in passing it. The professor needs to improve his English skills in pronunciation and the use of the articles. On top of that, he speaks too quickly. Sometimes the texts under the video loses its correspondence. Overall this course is offered in way that it makes it difficult to grasp easy ideas.
