What are people's opinion on Stalla. course, whether, someone, opinion

dmar

I am thinking of taking the Stalla intensive course this time around. If someone else took it (whether you passed L3 or not) can you give me a quick and dirty list of the pros and cons. Thanks in advance.

For L3 it doesn't get any better than Hetherington. If he's the prof, I'd think it'd be decent.

I talked to STALLA about who the professors are for L3 2012. Heatherington is doing some (which is good). But Ben Jones and DeGraaf are doing a lot (which is bad).

I used Stalla for L1 and L2 and passed.
For L3 I purchased Schweser. Very interesting difference.
I think Stalla has more diagrams which helps a lot with the understanding. Schweser on the other hand is almost completely written. The plus point for Schweser is that it has many more sections on tips on "how to" prepare for the exam.
Much of the L3 material is actually the same as L2, so I will be using both to prepare.

I liked Stalla for L2 (especially L2 video lectures with Olinto and Hetherington), but L3 I preferred Schweser notes and CFAI texts.
I found Stalla L3 video lectures with Ben Jones and DeGraaf pretty useless.

I just don't understand how they don't have Olinto at this level. That is my one criticism. I think the materials are pretty good.

stalla L3 videos were crap. The books were okay. I'd go w/ schweser.
