"The other guy" must be Gary? Gary does not-for profits (1.5 hours)and leases (1.75 hours). I didn't take Yaeger for AUD, but I think that is who you are referring to.

Michael McMillan is the other other guy (FARE Inventory). I feel like he is reading the book (as in unprepared or not familiar with the subject matter) instead of picking out only the most important stuff and teaching it. I can read the book in less than the 2.5 hours devoted to the topic.  It really bugged me during his sections on the BEC audio cram which I listened to for 6 hours on a car drive drive earlier this spring. It bugged me even moreso during Inventory that I shut it off after about 10 minutes and studied on my own from my notes that I had previously made on the subject and listened to the inventory cram done by Phil and Cindy which was about 40 minutes. The cram was great on FARE Inventory.

Jeni -- Your comments are duly noted. Did you watch the FAR Clarifications for Inventory, Investments and Stockholders' Equity that are on our website, on the left, under Free Webcasts??  Phil Yaeger re-taught these modules.  If you have any problem either finding these Clarifications or with the material itself, please call him on the instructor hotline number that our HomeStudy students get. 



Thanks for the heads up.  I share Jeni's frustration with some of the modules Dr. McMillan teaches in FAR, but didn't know Phil re-taught them.

Yes, I agree that he was weak on inventory. But I thought that he did a good job with some of the BEC modules. He's better with economics and finance.

Agree, he did a good job in BEC, but I found myself turning off the lecture in one of the modules in FAR, he was confusing me more than he was helping.  I know he only meant to help, but he worked one problem in the book for like 15-20 minutes, and the solution in the back was like 4 sentences total.

I totally agree with your guys about Michael McMillan as I just watched Module 7 in the DVD and feel like wasting my time. His lecture didn't go any further explanations as Cindy does, and he just reads the book and sometimes he even reads the questions wrong. I have to re-read all the info. again to do the questions by myself.
