Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I enjoyed the class -- I liked the presenters way of keeping engagement & acknowledging that this subject could be overwhelming for some. She did a great jon though & I feel like I learned what I hoped to. The only let down was that there was quite an extensive time frame with technical difficulties... I would say a good 25 minutes of our 1.5 hour session we were waiting for the class to begin again, so that was disappointing, but I do not believe that is anyone's fault -- Those things happen. It was just a bit of a disappointment for me personally. Overall, I enjoyed the class.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
This was a great topic. I took two introductory accounting management and finance accounting courses in the Arts Management MBA program at Claremont Graduate University while I attended my MS in Evaluation and Applied Science online graduate program during the Covid pandemic. The instructors 1 1/2 hour course covered all of the same topics from that course. It was great to review.

Moderator/presenter should learn to advance the presentation herself without "next slide, please".
