Overall I was disappointed by how barebones this course was. The online lessons simply consisted of a series of pages to work through, including a audio portion that did not match the text onscreen. They tried supplementing the material by attaching PowerPoint files to read through and Excel files to fill in, but neither were developed for this course, thus they did not help a lot; often they were a waste of time.

I like the flexibility of working when I want and as long as I want. I need flexibility with having 2 children. I can work on my assignments throughout the day, 5, 6, 7, days a week. If something comes up and I can't work on assignments that day, I don't get penalized for it.

I also like that I can pass with a 70%. Not that I don't want to get the best grade possible, but I can work a little faster through the course knowing that I don't have to have a 80 or 90%.
