I am sure this is good class, as much as I would like to do information assurance and auditing. I could not process what was being taught.

I struggled to understand. It was taking me way too long just to do one lesson.

I struggled understanding the lessons as well as taking the assessment nightmare.

maybe it was the example that I could not relate to, I am not sure.

Too narrow and too beginner for a simple auditor. Auditor knows how to perform audits, what would have been beneficial to talk more about Info Sec (was just few videos about it).
