CV

Charles Van, CPA (US)

I think it is better to split the 8-hour class into two sessions, as it is too long and tiring. It is easy to lose focus during these 8 hours. I understand it is more efficient to have the class in one session, but from the participant's perspective, I think I can learn and retain more materials with a maximum of four hours. Another suggestion is that it is better to repost the polling questions with the choices and the answer, and not just the answer. Because not all the answers would be posted instantly after the answer was submitted. By the time the answer is posted, I would like to know why I was wrong. However, I was not able to read the question again. It does not matter for a personal opinion question, but for any technical question, I think it is better to have the question and answer reposted in the chat box.
