Good material for audio learning. Covered a lot of ground in enough detail. The audio was a bit inconsistent.
Rosie Herren

Lots of good info presented. However, the presenter just read all of his slides to us. Don't feel he was really needed to speak given that fact. The slides were also mainly textual, which after awhile is hard to keep chugging through, Would have preferred some more visuals and easier to view formats.

The information was thorough and easy to understand, but the attempt at updating the audio for 2023 was not well done. There are cut off words, silence, and in one case, the audio did not match the slide amount. Just a note, I believe it should be "dual citizenship" rather than "duel citizenship".

Had some good content but everything in the lecture was also on the slides with large blocks of text. Could have just read through the slides instead of listening to the lecture and gotten all of the same points.

As other reviews have stated, this course is a bit too much reading of the material. I do love having all of the material in the power point presentation, but some variety in the speaking of it would be nice.

I thought this course would be more about what's new/different in 2020 but really it was very comprehensive covering off on all the basics. A 1 hour update would have been more useful to me, personally.

The information of the course as it was very straightforward and educational. Perfect review for the end of 2023. The pdf of the slides at the end are great, excellent reference if needed.

I enjoyed the information of the course as it was very straightforward and educational. THe pdf of the slides at the end were great as well to go over before taking the practice exam.

Good information, really heavy on the text in the slides though. Would be better off elaborating more and talking on subjects instead of just reading off of really text heavy slides.

The instructor read the slides verbatim. A lot of good information, but it was more like a book on tape, rather than a training course. The sound was also a little glitchy.

There are some gaps in the audio where the 2023 numbers should be. A little hard to follow at times. Also, a couple of repeats. it's just an odd recording.

It was very educational and informative with great slides. The only thing is that it seemed that it was just read right off the slides. Otherwise very good.

Content was fine but disappointing that the instructor couldn't take the time to re-record sections and opted to simply mute out amounts that had changed.

Good course, audio had some cut offs but was not distracting. The information in this
course can benefit anyone who files an individual tax return.

The audio was a reading of the slides. A text would have been faster.
It could have been better to have more examples applying a ruling.

I thought that the material was fine but the speaking presentation left a lot to be desired. It was easier to just read the slides myself

The course was a good summary. I really wish I could view the exam questions that I got wrong. That would be very helpful.

Course is full of information but really not very informative - all information is common knowledge or easy to look up.

Good course, lots of info.
I don't like that I have to leave a review with a certain number of words, it's annoying.

Good information but not much more given than what was on the slides. Seemed like it could have been a self study
