If the total duration of videos is approximately 4 hours, the faculty was reading only the numbers for 2.5 hours and was just reading definitions like a robot for another 1.5 hours. Since I already had an exposure to Financial Accounting, I was able to understand the concepts in Weeks 1 and 2. Those who don't have any knowledge of finance kindly don't take up this course. Though the content is for beginners, the videos, examples along with the faculty fail miserably to articulate the content. The video has audio issues, editing issues and few videos are missing as well. Basically only 5-10% of the concepts get explained and the remaining concepts are like hanging threads. I have to read the concepts from other websites to make things clear.
