It's a great course that helps break components of P&L and balance sheet. Emphasis is on Receivables, Payables, Dupont analysis and how these variables affect the cash/bank position of the firm.

- The reason of not using average balance of Balance Sheet item when calculating ratio includes Income Statement item in the numerator and Balance Sheet item in the denominator.

- The NFO calculation in the course done without including cash balance (AR + Inventory + Other current assets - AP - Other current liabilities) but in the final quiz they calculated expected short term debt by adding cash balance. What is the clear calculation of NFO?

Assignment review by peers can be improvised. In case the reviewer does not understand the view of presenter, there should be some specific questions designed, when re-submitting again ( as needed), the questions can play a role in assessment of knowledge.
