The course was set up very well but, I would have just preferred to have some sort of workbook that allowed us practice with every aspect of documentation. Repetition makes me better.Thank you.

This course is so GOOD! I needed to brush up on my Bookkeeping Skills, and I am glad that I chose Coursera to help me do this. I love the Step by Step Lessons and the videos are AWESOME! Thank you!

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.

Was a great start to bookkeeping basics. Good pace and well explained. I want to do another course now that uses different accounting software.

Excellent introduction. Would appreciate more detail on how to create the financial statements but that may be in the next level of the course.

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.

unfortunately I could not get to take cause I'm not from US but for a global company like Intuit it should be open for all nationalities.

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.

I would have liked to have more practice in posting debits and credits. Not on the prefilled demo, but more like the final exam.

I would recommend using the Intuit Online-" bookkeeping study guides," to help better prepare if you are seeking a certification.

it’s easy to follow the steps and all concepts are outlined in order; but it will be beneficial
to have more practice questions

Covers alot of information. However it should be more hands on for showing how to input information into ledgers and journals

I really liked the course until the final case study. It was very confusing and there was no way to get any help from anyone

I did learn a lot, but this course is lacking in hands-on activities where you can apply the knowledge you just learned.

It's a good course. I wish there were more hands-on exercises and reviews to show what I got wrong or didn't understand.

Some things need to be fixed, overall decent course, I would say it would be harder if I didn't already know somethings.

Course was fine, disappointed I wasn't advised until the end that I need to be in the US to write the final exam.
