Thanks again Coursera for this course. I have learned a lot. Thanks to the Professor. But can you send me a Certificate of Completion as proof that I am done with this course. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the University of Illinois and Prof. Oktay. The best explanation ever! Interesting cases and problems! This course helped me to create a strong foundation in accounting.

I did't enjoy this course, although I did well in passing it. The professor needs to improve his English skills in pronunciation and the use of the articles. On top of that, he speaks too quickly. Sometimes the texts under the video loses its correspondence. Overall this course is offered in way that it makes it difficult to grasp easy ideas.

Positives: The information provided was valuable, and all necessary notes and resources were well-presented. Negatives: The lectures did not align with the practice activities or graded module tests. I had to seek out additional resources to learn the material that was tested, which caused me to lose interest and trust in the program.

Not too much value for money (at 38 pounds per month), given the very basic level of the learning material / courses the specialisation has on offer (even though it's being advertised as an intermediate level one).

The content is pretty good. However, it is really difficult to understand the instructor because of his accent. I need to review the transcript all the time.

The question should be more calculation based and little bit more interactive. Students should be aided to dig dipper.

Not at all engaging because of numerous typographical errors in the supplementary course reading!

in my opinion this is not financial accounting, it is just basics or fundamental of accounting

No certificate provided on completion of the tough course. Extremely poor perceptions of the University.
