The course was a "real" deep dive into a difficult topic. Since I have not worked with Leases, I was somewhat at a loss as to the impact of ASC 840 on ASC 842. I would have preferred more emphasis on the differences between ASC 840 and 842. As I reviewed for the final exam, I found the slides to be more beneficial than the continuous play of the course script. I found the narrator's voice distracting. I also found the organization of the course narrative somewhat confusing. I suggest reviewing the presentation materials as another look at a "less cluttered" presentation format. Finally, I would have enjoyed deeper insights by the narrator. Reading the slides is convenient but misses the point of having a narration that is additive to student understanding. I realize that time constraints have played a role in the development of the course. I appreciate the problem. Thank you David Beauregard

A great course on the new leasing standard. Covers all the basic concepts. The concepts are complicated and the instruction moves fast, but pausing the recording and reviewing the slides made it easier to follow. It also let you move faster through the concepts that were clear to you. I appreciated the way the course was designed.

Thank you for well organized presentation to show each element of the different lease classification components and testing standards to both identify and record/classify on the balance sheet. This is a complex standard and notes/examples from this have further clarified work already done in practice to implement ASC 842.

Very thorough discussion of leases but is heavily based off what's already written in the slides. Some of the information does seem to get repeated (e.g. requirements for Finance Lease may have been covered three times). The examples of Finance/Operating Leases in the Appendix is one of the best parts.

Lots of good info to be conveyed. Slides and tables were good. A lot of reading the slides (not so good). Good as a reference. Anyone in public - audit and accounting would benefit from this course. Comptrollers would also benefit. Examples are better concurrent with written explanations.

For those needing a deep dive, this is the course to take. Some slides are not very clear which adds a little confusion, however, the course's repetitive nature and the supporting appendices negate the lack of clarity. The material also serves as great resource while performing lease analysis.

this is a very informative course; it is well worth the time! I found the information very easy to follow and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the subject matter! The professor does a great job on this course and also on additional courses that she teaches.
