This is a great course if you want to a general idea of account and concepts of how things are handled. I really enjoyed it and I know if I need to review some key points I can always go back. Thank you!

The instructor outlined the basic concepts of accounting concisely. For the purpose of the course, the material was appropriate. I especially appreciated that the instructor tried to connect the accounting concepts to real life situations. It might have been better if there were more comprehensive assessments, as compared to a three-question quiz section. One negative comment I have is that the last section regarding Entrepreneurship was not related to the topic of this course and significant amount of time was dedicated to this topic, which was somewhat misleading to the title of the course. It may be appropriate if the instructor made connections to the basic accounting concepts learned in earlier in the course to the entrepreneurial trend discussion. Overall, I liked to course.

I am working towards opening a retail business but have minimal accounting skills but Chris B's explanations are perfect and I got so much out of it. I intend to hire a professional bookkeeper but as the business owner I still need to understand my business and the numbers. This course was great and will be taking more of Chris's courses! :)

I can only speak of my own interest of course. I took this course from the title Accounting 101 which I interpreted to be a fundamental accounting class. I was expecting detailed instruction on debits and credits, transactions, general ledger and financial statements. To me, this course was more a very broad overview of accounting. Thankfully I signed up for courses from other instructors who had the content I was seeking. So this course might have been great for others not looking for real detail on accounting but an overview of the subject. I do think however the course name should be changed so people like me do not have the wrong impression.

It was a good match. I know nothing about accounting, and I've been asked to do balance sheets for a home business. This starts me on my way

Please slow down a bit. The presenter talks quite fast and works through the modules very quickly. Certain aspects need more or better explanations e.g. debits and credits. Examples will go a long way.

I have no knowledge in this field and was a bit confused with several items discussed. Hopefully as I continue to review accounting training videos I will understand better what was discussed.

I'm very familiar with accounting concepts, but I need to fill in the gaps of my knowledge. So far, these are solid lessons.

Excellent course. It helped me remember things I had forgotten and also taught me some new things. This was a great overview for someone who wants to get some new skills or dig a little deeper into accounting. It would also be a great course for someone who is thinking about accounting but unsure and wants to get an initial feel for the subject. I would add a bit more explanation of the confusing part of debits and credits (what accounts get debited or credited when) as that part went a little fast for me. The instructor is clear and engaging and easy to follow. Highly recommended. Overall excellent course.

This was very helpful to understand the basic concepts, particularly cash vs accrual. It will help me to talk with accountants about their accrual reporting needs that I need to implement in an existing software package. I would, however, liked to have seen more numbers to reinforce the explanations. For example, as simple spreadsheet of accounts where you add different transactions over time to show the debits and credits and how it balances. Thanks.
