Good course but it is too long and the feedback on the assignment took 3 weeks which killed my motivation to engage in other related courses. Waiting for a long time to get the feedback on assignment has been my issue for Illinois courses.

There was far too much time spent on trying to convice you that auditing has value, and the subjective qualifications the teacher believes you should have if you want to go into the profession. Very little actual knowledge was imparted, though to be fair it is just an introduction. About 3 of the 8 modules have any substance to them.

The course was really helpful for me in understanding the basics of Audit. But however I didn't find Assignment 8 of Mod 8 much connected to the whole course. I was expecting good case study.
