It is a great course for beginers like me to start to learn about accounting. The concepts are easy to understand, and the examples are very helpful for understanding. I like the virtual students btw.

Thanks to the Professor for his time and effort and developing a wonderful online course. I wish there was a quiz for Financial Ratios too as I learn better through exams.

The pace of the course was perfect, well taught by professor Brian J. Bushee with simplicity, but on the other hand is full-filled with loads of details and information.

Very good overview and the intensive review of examples was especially helpful. I did find the virtual students strange at first but also came to be very fond of them.

I like how the videos are fun to watch and more interactive although accounting topics are quite complicated and needs some more reviews to be understood completely.
