great course simple to understand and very entertaining. i really like the idea of the virtual students they add a nice touch to the course and the instructions and provide good questions and answers

Loved this course! Because it was via videos, you could pause and digest the material at your own speed. More challenging content than I expected so felt I learned a lot. Will take another course!

Great Course, explained concepts quite well considering how information heavy accounting can get. Amazing skill to have especially learning to run a business. Would reccomend.

Good course! Financial accounting is hard. I have a bad memory and there are a lot of terms so it was very challenging but passable. Brian is a good professor.

Was quite difficult to understand, might have design much simpler way . Probably with lengthier and easier approach.

I've done quite a few online classes, both through Coursera and through other places. I did not find this class helpful at all. I might have felt differently if the teacher spent more time actually teaching and less time arguing with the fake AI students. Telling a computer generated image with a computerized voice, "Well, I'm certainly not going to argue with your sister from Hong Kong!" after being told "well my sister in Hong Kong said your wrong!" is just not helpful.
