Overall, I thought this course was strong and delivered the content described in the overview. I particularly liked the real life examples the instructor used when discussing financial statements. I do wish the instructor had taken more time to explain the formulas used in Module 4.

The content was fine. I little too American focused, could be made a bit more international. I thought the videos were terrible. I haven't watched the videos after the first 2, just read the text myself.
