The teacher is very responsive, and the course requires self-motivation but is good for someone looking for a self-paced course. The course and the supplemental online text go through a lot of material. There are helpful suggestions along the way. I additionally purchased a Barron's and McGraw-Hill text because I like paper texts where I can highlight and write notes. All and all, I am hoping for success with the exam thanks to this course!
