    A quick introduction to Financial Accounting. Prof. Badia explains the concepts very well with relevant examples. Occasionally there will be a (ungraded) short quiz in between the lecture videos to check our understanding, which is also useful for us learners check our progress.

    Un muy buen curso, me ha encantado. Muy práctico y didáctico. Los ejercicios tenían la suficiente dificultad como para que si no tenías los conceptos claros, no fuese posible resolverlos. La curva de aprendizaje es muy buena, y los conceptos están muy bien explicados.

    This course really broke down balance sheets, cash flow and income statements using teaching methods that made each topic easy to grasp. I especially liked the idea of teaching by following transaction of a business. You learned by constantly applying and practising.

    I really enjoyed the course. The topic was completely new for me, now I feel more confident while working with financial documents. I liked the way the topics are explained - pretty concise, but quite transparent for non-finance people.
