There was not clear instructions that the materials were under the course description tab instead of the launched course. Once I had your assistant instruct me how to find the materials, the handout attached was NOT the one for the course. Forensic Accountant: Digital and Computer Forensics. Not having the materials to look back on made the mound of information much more difficult to retain for testing. Still would like the materials for future reference. Tech person was putting in a ticket.
