A very good course. I took some accounting classes many years ago and needed a refresh for a new job. The professor has a very good approach to teaching that makes it easy to understand the principles. The quizzes and modules strengthened my understanding. If you're very serious about accounting, I recommend taking the entire specialization. It's worth the time and definitely worth the money.
Guest says:
Professor Urcan is an excellent teacher. This course is perfect if you need to build a strong foundation to accounting. I have taken accounting courses before and very few others make these topics which can be very dry at times so engaging. The only thing I would say is that the professor does have somewhat of a strong accent, so if English is not your first language - it is not mine- it can be a little difficult sometimes. Otherwise a great introduction!
