Not bad. Gave me the very basics that I was looking for. Tests were not much of a challenge. a textbook as part of the course would have made the course more college level.

The Course is absolutely fantastic. Even if you dont have any Financial Accounting Background, the Course material still manages to get the skills transferred.
Thx so much
The Professor keeps her lectures, exercises, and assessments "tight". No extraneous remarks or "stories".
Incredible! The way the teacher explains everything, and the class format is the most efficient of all. I do not have any accounting background and could do the course in two days, while other courses took me weeks and I could not understand properly the concepts. Marvelous!
Excellent lessons and the flow of lectures and information was so user-friendly. Highly recommended for the beginners. Thanks to Cousera and UoCalifornia
I really like the course as it is recall all my lessons in the foundation year
great course, very well put together and easy to follow and understand.
good course, step by step. easy understanding.
This course has provided me with a general understanding of the accounting equation, debits and credits, and what to do with each of the 3 main accounts being assets, liabilities and equity. It's a bit like learning a new language but the instructor offers clear explanations and directions plus the supplemental readings will increase the learners understanding. I surely need to review course 1 so that it sticks and further my understanding with the supplemental readings before moving on to module 2. This course has provided me with more key knowledge I was looking for.
I stumbled upon this course from another accounting course from a different institution that I felt didn't have the amount of hands-on activities that I personally needed to feel comfortable moving forward. Well, this one sure delivered! I found the instructor both knowledgable and engaging, and that she delivered a wealth of information without becoming confusing or overwhelming.
This course is one of the best for everyone since it is so well designed, taught and explained. Excel continues to be one of the most popular accounting tools used by small business and manufacturing company so I am glad that I have an opportunity to learn both Accounting and Excel here. I am ready to take second course in this specialization.
Die einzelnen Kurse und die Art des Unterrichtens waren sehr verständlich und das Lernen deshalb wirklich leicht. Mein Interesse mich weitergehend mit der Buchhaltung und Unternehmensfinanzen zu beschäftigen ist geweckt und ich bin bereits dabei mir weitere Kenntnisse anzueignen und das Gelernte gleichzeitig zu festigen.
I enjoyed and at the same time learned a lot about Fiancial Accounting (basic). I'm only used to simple debit and credit approach not knowing there's still the double entry approach in writing your journal, an ohhh the T account approach really helps a lot in balancing the sheet. More power and God bless you Mam.
This course was very insightful and engaging. I really liked the exercises after each week, they really were a nice touch. In addition, the instructor was very knowledgeable of the subject matter, and made me want to dive in more in other accounting courses.
Great start to learn accounting. The explanation and examples are excellent and help you understand the basic an accounting. This course is suitable for those who don't have any basic in accounting and want to start
Really insightful in how it helps learners see the bigger picture and connections with the use of excel. I've not yet come across course that offers same level of understanding for intro to financial accounting.
This course is very detailed oriented and gives you a clear structure to the basics of financial accounting. It will give you the confidents and first steps to understanding accounting!
I appreciate all the examples Professor Andrea provided quality visual examples that helped me understand the lessons. I wasn't confident at times, but her walk-throughs saved me.
