I'm glad Georgia added an ethics requirement to the CPE requirements and this course did a fantastic job laying out the ethical issues face. I like the fact that the course is in CPE format so that it is easy to refer back to and reference when issues arise in real life.

Not a lot of instructions on how to proceed with registering for and proceeding through the Review and Exam for the Course. Chat function wasn't terribly helpful and didn't answer several of my questions.

Great class with excellent materials to study. Like how the review questions followed each section of the study material. Glad that GA has finally decided to include a requirement for an ethics class.

The text of the course is very readable by accounting course standards (note - its really hard to make accounting rules into something you can readily understand)
