Though I have been through Intro Accounting some 3 or 4 times through different classes and seminars, I still found myself learning from this detailed and straight forward presentation of information.

The modules were extremely informative and nothing less to say, Oktay sir's presentations were very easy to understand even for a person like me who has no prior knowledge about Financial Accounting.

The curse was less complete than I expected it to be. Also, It was very difficult to follow the professor due to his heavy accent (I have no intention of shaming the professor, I'm not a native speaker by any means myself, and I understand the struggle of speaking a foreign language), but besides his accent, there were many topics and concepts that were not explained at all, which led me to having to repeat the lectures many times to able to grasp basic concepts and the difference between them. For example, the difference between recorded revenue, recognized revenue, collected income, and the formulas related to them are concepts that I'm still struggling with after reviewing Module 3 several times.

Content is poorly explained, and lecturer felt very unnatural and hard to listen to, probably because he was reading from a script and him having bad english doesn't help either, as non-native speaker, it was hard for me to keep up with him. Also, the illustration of the content was bad, with little to no interactive actions that actually help delivering important information. (P.S.: No offence to our honored lecturer, I'm respectfully stating what I felt, I'm sorry if any of words could be misinterpreted as disrespectful or impolite.)
