The professor made lectures fun and easier to digest, and the hands-on case studies are good practice to cement the lessons taught. Will definitely recommend to people who want to learn accounting!

Excellent. Easy to understand. As thought Prof Brian Bushee can read your mind and know what questions you are thinking even before you can ask them. Also appreciate his humour. Enjoyed this one.

The information in this class is really mismanaged. When presenting math and policy, state them first, and then allow students to work through how to apply them. What I marveled at through the two modules I took before I gave up is how much effort it takes to screw up the presentation of something as linear as equations, rules and procedure. Present cheat sheet for printing at the beginning of the course and then give us problems to work through. I spent way too much time guessing at obscure nuances through the quizzes.

The added AI "students" in the class and added "trying to be funny" parts make these videos so much longer than they need to be. So much so that I am not going to even take the next course because it is the same professor and I saw how many and how long the videos are. It was brutal to get through and to try to stay interested.

The instructor is nice, but this course is NOT suitable for beginners. The prior knowledge needed to succeed in this course is not covered, and the homework quizzes are extremely challenging and filled with trick questions and uses terminology that is not known to beginners.

what are with these bullshit trick questions with multiple answers per question? How am I supposed to learn anything?
