As being a scholar of Management Sciences I really appreciate that this course helped me to lean and revise my concepts that I have already studied. Thanks to PIDE and Coursera.

Very helpful and full of information. In my opinion it would be even better if it was a bit slower and a bit more analytical. My 4 stars is more like 4 stars and a half.
por AL8 de dic. de 2017
The lectures are great and easy to understand, and the examples are well explained and easy to follow. The professor explains the material in a very understandable way .

I recommend this course for non-accounting people, who want to learn and start to know accounting. If you make the exercises and examples you can learn a lot.
