Was ok a little slow and laggy but it was alright

April 5, 2021

Some parts would take up to 15 seconds to load and I have relatively fast WIFI so that was disappointing. A lot of the questions are so Basic and redundant they shouldn’t even have to be taught in the lessons I think it could either be grouped into larger sections or all put into one section. Very redundant at most points but oh well.

Convenient and Informative Course

April 4, 2021

I thought that this was extremely quick and convenient for me… I thought that the animations/slides could have been a little more creative though. Just a little more animated so that it would have kept my attention better. That was the only con.

I think this was extremely convenient and taught me so much. I am now educated to work at a restaurant but also keep this information with me when simply cooking at home which is very helpful when i have guests over.
