I really liked this course. The audio/video enhanced the printed material and kept me engaged. Examples were helpful to show how it applies to real world situations. The amount of content ensured I didn't finish too early and then have to go back and keep the session open to get the minimum required seat time. The survey questions were interesting, engaging and provided immediate feedback. I prefer these shorter, deep-dive courses that go beyond the basics.

This is a great course to take every couple of years as litigation changes laws and the way a report should be written. Updates to how we disclose or disclaim are made yearly due to litigation and enforcement. A very good class!
