I was very nervous about this class but you made it a wonderful experience!
by Francis S. on May 14, 2025
Great course
by Brooke R. on May 14, 2025
the course is not difficult. it would benefit greatly from adding audio and video examples. the few videos interspersed throughout are helpful, but more would beneficial. Specifically, how to read a graph and how to do math is better shown in examples than explained through written word.
by Curtis G. on May 14, 2025
Sometimes the assessment questions weren't the most clear--difficult to understand exactly what they are asking. Thankfully, the class utilizes videos taught by Jeff, which are always the best!
by Rodney S. on May 14, 2025
This course was very interesting and fast.
by Adriana B. on May 14, 2025
I highly recommend this course; it was informative, easy to navigate and fit into your busy schedules and increasing one's financial accounting knowledge. The tutorials were also very beneficial and added to the success of online learning.
