I hate to say it, but this course was terrible. It was like ASC 718 was just copied and read off. It was very hard to understand and no time was taken to really explain concepts. Not a helpful course at all and I am a 20+ year CPA and SaaS controller. Needs to be completely reworked.

I really liked that there were so many review and exam questions to help learn the concepts, however, during the presentation, I would have loved to have heard more real-life examples of how these arrangements occur.

I was hoping to gain some knowledge of stock-based compensation, but I didn't learn much at all. The instructor was basically reading the slides without explanation the technical terms and no example.

Good questions but not enough real life based examples. No journal entries either that would have made it clearer. Would have liked more examples on the accounting side. Good class in the end.
