I loved the Mastering Adjusting Entries class. I really learned a lot. When I took accounting in college, the professor when through the material so fast that it was hard to comprehend. With this class I learned the correct way to do adjusting entries. Thank you so much for this book and class.

Covers accrual and adjusting entries. A few of the practice problems were unclearly worded in my opinion.

I already took an Accounting 101 course, so this was more of a review for me. Regardless, I found the course to be a good review and everything was explained clearly to me.
