    T​his 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.

    Great course - takes you through how to set up books from beginning and how to properly record transactions and follow thru with financial reporting. It does it using a case study that helps you really understand how to apply the basics to accomplish the goal of providing helpful information to the client.

    I'm very thankful I found this course which taught me so much with the really basic of bookkeping itself. I may still need to exercise more, but at least with this course I know a lot more than I used before. Looking forward to the next level of this kind of courses! Thanks Coursera and Intuit!!

    It was very indepth and the course was engaging and it made learning easy. I will recommend this course to others who want to understand the basics of bookkeeping and gain a better understanding of how to communicate to clients what they need and why they need to maintain good reporting.

    This course was so much fun! The instructions were clear with supporting examples. The interactive coursework and quizzes were challenging but rewarding. I loved the fun storytelling aspect of the course, it kept me wanting to learn more and complete the course! I can't wait to continue!

    Love the pacing and enthusiasm of this course (and Bianca). I think they managed to keep things interesting and fun enough when it could have been super dry. Also LOVE the advice from real-world professionals! Very helpful and encouraging for someone like me with no experience at all.

    It was a great course. I like the fact that the information was given in small and simple-to-digest portions which enhanced the learning process for me. A lot of the information ended up being a refresher for me but I still enjoyed the course and would recommend it highly to anyone.

    Excellent course for beginners-- I was challenged enough to struggle just a little.... but was comfortable enough to easily pass and actually learn from the course and have many take aways to improve my own skill set and knowledge- but also help me as I open my own small business!

    This course is very helpful and I learned alot from taking it. It breaks everything down and is easy to understand. The quizzes and assignments are straightforward and you get multiple attempts at passing them if you do not achieve a passing grade. I very much enjoyed this course.

    This course made me want to know more about Bookkeeping (maybe even beyond it). I love the breakdown of each tutorial (although it needs more focus on the actual journal/ledger-trial balance) but that's the recipe for you to want to know more and be proactive about learning it.

    Excellent course which is quite simple for beginners to understand. The course gives the fundamentals as well as guidance from specialists in the field. To keep up with the modern technological environment, simulation exercises and lectures on accounting software are provided.

    Fun course that taught a lot about the practice and concepts of bookkeeping. The real-life expert interviews were a good reprieve from the standard lectures. The overarching "setup" of the course as a Bookkeeping Consulting firm to a fictional client kept things interesting.

    This Coursera course has prepared me to take the exam I'm sure I can pass it thanks to the assistance of this Bootcamp. Going back and looking at how much time and effort I put into making sure I get out of the field I am in and into the career i've always wanted to be in.

    The very best thing about this course is that the student is taught the basics of double entry accounting, even though QuickBooks software simplifies the process of creating a journal. Learning it the old fashioned way will make the student even stronger as a bookkeeper.

    This course is very informative and provides a great foundation for bookkeeping. However, I would advise a review session before moving onto the case study at the end of the course just to refresh some of the information provided at the beginning. Great course overall.

    I got exactly what I wanted from the course. I finally broke through the mind fog of debits and credits, and learned why things worked. I thought I really had a handle on the course until the final assignment. It really forced me to see if I knew as much as I thought.

    This is a bit too basic I believe. I understand that this is online and so on but it seems as soon as the class was about to get good, that was it.

    I liked the interactive videos with questions for me to work on, I thought the discussion questions were unnecessary.

    Easy to follow with clear explanations. I felt like I had too much information thrown at me in college, scattered everywhere that it was difficult to pull it all together at work. I am grateful to get back to basics and create a solid foundation to become a CPA.

    This course seems basic but it really helps a lot to widens your scope of learning to the maximum edge of accounting knowledge. The part(s) accounting of principles, bookkeeper's ethical position and workbook assignment project at the end ere really helpful.

    I'm enjoying every minute I spend learning. The test was a tad daunting, but I kept up with it, on paper as long as it took to understand elements I had learned along the way. One thing I did drive home to myself, there are no shortcuts in Bookkeeping! :)

    The course is well explained, exercises are easy to follow, but you must be careful when you write the numbers. I would like to thank for the opportunity for taking the course. I will continue my learning and all four courses.

    Most of this was review from University days. However, it did clear up some stuff i remember confusing me before. Great refresher and format for helping solidify your knowledge if you have already taken some Accounting classes in University.
