For those with limited bookkeeping experience, it is helpful to use other reference material and resources in conjunction with the workbook in order to fully define bookkeeping terms. Otherwise this workbook is a good educational tool.

All the courses I took were very helpful and gave realistic scenarios to help me understand. I am able to refer back to those courses when and if needed. The cost of the courses are doable (not too expensive)and worth it. Thanks.

I would rate this as a five out of five stars. The book is well put together, the quizes are extremely helpful at judging one’s retention of the data. I am very happy so far with the course work. My supereriors at Purdue University plan on offering the course to other staff members when I have completed my exams.
