I liked the text book style course - this allowed the learner to read through materials at their own pace rather than listening to a program at a specific pace. I also felt the review questions allowed the learner to get more familiar with the course material and strengthened chances of passing the final exam.

The course is very detailed and useful for my CPE education, which gave many tips to complete my CPE credits. There are always many attentions needed to be paid to my ethical behavior, and this course taught me a full compliance concept related to my routine work.Thanks for Ms.patricia's great work.

Well written course.
I downloaded materials and divided them into segments for reading over three days. Was nice to be able to not complete in one sitting.
Overall, time devoted exceeded 4 hours.

Review questions help in understanding the context. Format has room for improvement. It has all the information but not intuitive enough. The course is cheaper than most other sites.

I have selected this course because there are review questions, which are helpful for preparing for exam, and the exam which can be taken as many as you need.

I didn't like the formatting of the PDF provided. It felt as if everything was jumbled together. I thought the information was properly presented though.

Good course. Seemed to cover all of the relevant material. Would prefer something I can listen to on my own time though.
