As a learner with no prior background in financial accounting, this course along with the Foundations course have really built up my knowledge and understanding of this subject from scratch. I am amazed at how much I have learnt through these two courses. Professor's lectures are really interesting and well structured. I have also developed an appreciation and interest in accounting, for further study. Many thanks to Professor and the support team for this wonderful course.
