    A very useful course for someone without any or a little prior knowledge about financial accounting. Full of examples and math works. A helpful guide to learn the A B C of basic financial accounting.

    Great knowledge with a outstanding delivery. It may sound a little silly with those cartoons, but it makes the lessons way less monotonous.

    The structure of the course was great. The approach used by Prof. Bushee got the course to be really close to an “in-presence” experience.
