I agree with the opinions regarding Michael McMillan as well. He just read the sentences in the book, and even doing that he really stumbles with his words. My favorite was "Okay, so what that means..." and he reads another paragraph from the book. Not really offering insightful explanations. I am planning on adding significant time to review his modules.
On the other hand, I'm definitely a fan of Cindy, Phil and Gary. Gary may be dry, but he explains info well. Cindy and Phil just make me chuckle and also do a great job to the point that I don't feel like I have to find more time in my schedule to do any extra review.

I just Love the way Cindy and Phil banter back and forth in the FAR Audio. I have picked up so much just from listening to then over and over. Cindy and Phil also do a great job in the FAR DVD's. I guess I'm not far enough into my review to have seen or heard anyone else, but all I can say about cindy and Phil is that they are top notch. Just wish there werer more college professors who taught like them.

Agreed, I felt so well prepared for FAR after watching that cram. Hopefully my score will reflect it.

FAR is taught by Cindy/Phil in 60/40 ratio. Leases and non-for-profits are taught by Gary - he does very good job on these two topics, so is the rest of the instructors.
Michael is no longer in 2010 FAR - inventories are covered by Phil, and derivatives are covered by Cindy. Also, Cindy does not go over several pages of the handout, but you are advised to read it on your own - if you never had a formal finance class in derivatives, it is highly recommended that you read these pages. It is an easy reading too.

I am about half way through FAR homestudy and there are some things that
I found a bit stressful.. I got so used to Cindy that when
Phil came on I was totally thrown for a loop. Cindy does most of the
teaching and her style is really methodical.. a lot of lecturing,
reading through notes, and going over handouts. Phil speedily covers
topics and goes straight to MC Qs. I had problems with his pension section. I find the inconsistency in teaching
styles very hard to follow. Is anyone else having this problem and if
so how do you deal with it? There was another instructor but he went
over the material pretty well too (lease section). I'm not complaining about Phil, it
is just that his section took me twice as long to understand and I got
more MC Qs wrong :( As everyone on here seems very confident with Phil, any advice on how to do his part would greatly help!!
Thanks!!
