I like the timing and content of this course for two reasons:
a) it forced me to revisit the notes I'd taken from prior courses
b) solidify my understanding of the more abstract concepts, especially contract modification accounting and distinct/non-distinct activities.
There are still errors in the presentation that I encourage the authors to rectify for future students.
Taking a step back, the set of courses offered towards the 606: revenue from contract with customers is excellent value. It sets up a great foundation from which to build on. The author, to a decent extent, covers the breadth of guidance. It bears to note that it is still incumbent on the student to pick up the guidance in specific areas.

I think this case scenarios course is the most important of all the course. It puts all of what we've learned in the first half of the class to the test with real life case scenarios. Some of the topics I believed I understood fully until I got to the case scenarios. Excellent course!

Most of these course was just a repeat of the information in other courses related to topic 606. I wish it included more of the analysis of various cases, as the course title suggested.
