Course Description
Have you ever had an Accounting Professor which just rambled and rambled, making Accounting sound like a different language ? Or have you ever tried going on to YouTube to take Accounting classes but just got lost within the sea of information ?
Trust me, I know how that feels. I too went through the same frustration during my Undergraduate and Graduate Studies listening to Professor talk and talk while I was confused within the 1st 10 minutes of class. To make things worse, I would then go home to revise the concepts thought in class from the text book, only to find the explanations there even more confusing :)
Fortunately, I graduated and I have been been working within the financial industry for almost 20 years (with a Big 4 and an Investment firm) and today after having both practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge. I decided to teach this subject, only this time I would teach Accounting in a simple to understand manner but with real practical examples :)
Among the benefit of taking this course is that:
You would be able to understand Accounting finally :) - The way I thought this course is for a very beginner to dip their toes into the world of Accounting. So I made sure that, the examples which I used are easy to follow so that you can easily grasp Accounting concepts.
You will see how the business world uses Accounting- Today after practicing as both an accountant and an analyst, I decided to teach this subject for the point of view as a practitioner. This way you will know what how the business world uses Accounting for its operations.
E-Learning makes studying more convenient - So long as you have a device and internet you can learn this subject anywhere and at any time.
Accounting jobs are always in demand - Post crisis, we still see many companies looking to for accountants. And as many say, as long as there is a businesses, there sure be an accountant to count its profits.

I think it is a good match for me. I major in sciences. I have never done business before, because it was not exciting to me when I was young. I like how you break down the topics and making it exciting. I hope it will be this good throughout the course.

yes, it was good. It moved quickly but thorough. I have also purchased an advanced class. So it was very good to start getting some familiarity with the subject. Some of it I knew, but, also new information. Looking forward to the second half.
