This is only a 2 credit course, so she doesn't have any time to teach you anything but the basics. Do NOT buy the newest edition for Peachtree, an older version is the same, but MUCH cheaper. Tests (2 of em) aren't so easy. She gives HW & a project (counts to the final grade). There is no reason why anyone should get lower than an A in this class.
