After taking this course, I can see where & how I can apply my skills and love for numbers. I am confident in my decision and cant wait to put all the pieces together.

Thank you, Coursera & Intuit!

This course was well put together. I used to feel so intimidated by finances. The interactive videos and practice exercises do a fantastic job of explaining concepts learned throughout this course.

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.

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

Easy to follow, well-structured. The cartoons were kinda cheesy, but better than a super bland textbook.
