The Solution:
The assignment is complicated, especially, for the first time, it was a nightmare, and it is the worst learning experience of my life. Honestly, I hated it badly. I have zero accounting experience, reading a textbook is way easier than doing it, I had to ask a friend who explained everything to me. Unit 2 this week consisted of Unit 3 and 4, to be honest, I liked how the accounting subject made me understand some terms I read about in the financial news and stock market-related articles. I have learned about accounting principles and the accounting cycle. I read the units twice until I could memorize the info, moreover, my friend really helped me to understand so many things. I really hope that I get good marks for this assignment, I was really stressed about it....
