Cost of doing Business for Book Keepers

Unlike book keeping level 1 and 2, this course takes on a while different mood and is completely outside of the box, a refreshing different pace. It was a very interesting class, each topic both felt complicated and intriguing as to how businesses work.
I’ve had Arlene before as my teacher for BK level 2. She was very honest and brutal but at the same time, the business stories were very entertaining. Her best saying is, «It’s what I do, not who I am.»
The cost of the text book is $ 239, however, don’t worry as Arlene Xeroxes the chapters for the class to work from. You only use 2 chapters, therefore, the administration thought that it would be a waste to spend $ 239 on a text book.
After the class I had a hard time looking at money in the same way, I certainly grocery shop differently. As if I wasn’t a budgeting spreadsheet nerd already, this amplified my financial nerdism.
The terminology that we learned in Book Keeping is completely different in this class which confuses and complicates things. To further complicate things, there is 5 different ways to say the same thing which makes the algebra and the ratios portion of the course very confusing.
The first two weeks there is a very hard assignment. It is natural to not get it right away. There will be a moment in which you think you go it and then realize that you don’t. It took me three times before handing it in that I didn’t get the assignment right away. The instructor acknowledges that it is very tough which is why she gives it to you on the first two days so that you have a chance to work on it on your own and come back the following week with questions. In other words, you technically have two weeks to complete. I recommend finishing the homework to the best of your ability the first time, 90% of it will be wrong. Then gooogle some of the answers and prepare questions based on both for the following class.
Even though there is no homework after the first 2 weeks the topics and the notes for the rest of the class are heavy and it is a lot to digest, therefore, I advise taken that time to study in advance. The teacher will run out of time on some of the topics ’cause there is just way too much to cover in 3 hours.
Weirdly I finished the test in 30 minutes and it was easy. I am sure that I messed up on some terminology. The teacher does provide some of the math formulas and the math questions aren’t that bad to be honest.
