Was easy to understand and covered the material could have used a few more examples/questions to assist someone who perhaps does not have an accounting background

This course was the same as the other courses I have taken -it was informative. There were a number of errors within the course material.

There were a few things that I found a bit unclear. Also, I missed some on the exam and when I re-submitted the answers, at least one was still incorrect. This isn’t particular to this course, but I re-submitted the answer hoping to try to learn what I was doing wrong. It was wrong again and I was told that I couldn’t try to correct it. I was only correcting it so that I could learn, not to try to improve my score. I wish there was a forum or contact person who I could contact when there are things that I really do not seem to understa, especially when I thought I did understand it but found out from the test result that I clearly didn’t!

i have never met a bookkeeping that does not make mistakes at some point of their career. This course would help even the most experienced bookkeeping refresh their skills.
