We didn’t use all of this, but I didn’t particularly like the problem examples, as equations and examples in the book are not clearly displayed. You have to search for certain equations. But alas it worked but not without some extra work.
This book is difficult to understand for beginner students with no accounting experience. The links to videos are somewhat helpful. The example problems are what got me through. The most frustrating part of this experience was that chapter 2 questions would require information from chapter 4. It was not linear but bounced around a lot, saying things like we'll cover this in more depth later on. If the book had been ordered differently I might have had better luck.
