Professor Demaline is very easy to understand and his slide show presentation is in alignment with what he discusses. He made the topic easy to understand. It was also interesting to get his view of the role intangible assets will have in the future.

The course is informational, and the instructor is clear and covers key points. The historical trend in intangibles was well laid out and drives home the importance of this area. Internally developed intangibles and example was done well.

This course was very interesting. I wasn't aware the intangible assets are adding more to the company's assets. I thought they are always les and causes no big change to the assets. There is nothing that i didn't like about this course.

The information presented is not very useful. There is too much discussion about trends and not enough information regarding how to actually value intangible assets. Overall, this is not a very useful webinar.

This session provides a lot of good information but unfortunately these are not in highlights. One could easily miss it if not very focused.

The course is well structured and provides a simple overview of US GAAP recognition and valuation methods for intangible assets.

Good overview in just a half-hour but arguably misses software, especially internal-use software which has broad applicability.

Although very basic, it was a good refresher. The examples were good but could have used a bit more complexity.
