What people are saying
balance sheet
Great introduction for those totally unfamiliar with accounting and balance sheets.
It sounds so simply, but the professor's basic definition of a balance sheet and a financial statement gave me (a complete novice) a great grasp of accounting and its goal.
This has helped me understand the balance sheet, which will help me understand my current and future companies more clearly.
This one helped me the most in understanding how to review and analyze a balance sheet.
It would have strengthened the course if the discussion went step-by-step through a balance sheet of one of the companies featured in the course.
I learned a lot about balance sheets.
I found this course to be a good introduction to reading a balance sheet, with a lot of personal examples.
;-) This course focuses entirely on how to read a balance sheet.
You will learn the three principal parts of a balance sheet (assets, liabilities, and equity), how they relate to each other, and how they describe the underlying position of the company.
However, while the focus on local businesses is interesting, a relatively large amount of time is spent learning about these businesses and their owners without necessarily teaching much about accounting or balance sheets in general.
It is really works to make you understand a balance sheet practically Wonderfully designed.
This course is a great introduction to understanding Balance Sheets and has been a big help to me in my job.
Overall, there is some good info in it if you have no background in accounting and no idea what a balance sheet is, but if you're looking for insight into interpreting balance sheets, this is not the class for you.
Mr Jackson put a lot of effort into the construction of the class and explained everything in detail so that you get a solid understanding of the Balance Sheet It was great Simple and effective course!!!!

financial statements
This course provide great basics insights on regards of Financial Statements concepts.
Easy to comprehend but far too basic to be helpful and I don't feel I received an "Understanding of financial statements" because the course was too rudimentary.
I now feel as though I have an idea or overall gist of financial statements, however, I would like to get into the ratios and analysing part of these statements.
This course illustrated in a very simple but informative way financial statements through practical, easy to understand examples.
