Mientras estaba viendo los videos, estaba tomando notas en una libreta frequentemente. Pero despues de entrar al examen, note que mucha de la informacion en los videos era innecesaria o demasiado detallada. Solo utilize como un 15% de mis notas. Muchos videos y mucha informacion.
some of the answers for the questions could have been revised to make more sense.

Cross contamination is very important to teach especially those dealing in food corporations, I never knew 60% of Americans/ people do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom, disgusting. Honestly I learned many things from this lesson, and I learned how properly cook meats or prepare them for cooking!
Love it

Está muy perfecto todo
Excelente! bien explicado, claro y objetivo
Wow so easy to use
Simple, easy to follow, excellent information.
The course is 4 hours
This was very informative but it takes entirely too long.
CURSO AMIGABLE DE HACER.
This course is very long and slow paced; it would benefit from having text entries rather than just voice so that fast readers and learners won’t feel distracted and bored. It’s hard to focus when I can’ go at my own pace. Also, the video should have a rewind button instead of just a repeat button. It’s irritating when I just need a small bit repeated, but I have to repeat the entire module just to hear it again.
I think this was a good corse and it was informative however not being able to skip around in the videos until you watch the entire thing makes note taking hard. I also think there was a lot of filler that made the course longer than it needed to be.
Easy to follow and practical. It gave me confidence in safe food handling and sanitation.
Good
none
I feel like I got all the information but it was so incredibly boring. You couldn’t spring for an actual voice-over actor to read the script? The automated voice was terrible.
The AI generated voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard
