AAA Food Manager Course

June 11, 2025

This course was easy to follow and I liked that there were review questions after each section. I was able to complete the course study easily in one day. It was engaging enough to keep my attention. I learned a lot and it was taught in away that explained why things are done a certain way instead of just stating the rules for you to memorize.

A.I. is no substitute for human input

June 11, 2025

It was obvious that this exam was ultimately composed by A.I. as several of the questions were confusing in their delivery. The grammar was confusing and even slightly contradictory. I found myself having to just use my best judgment on an answer, due to the amorphous nature of a question. A.I. should not be used for a subject of this importance without being properly overseen by human control.
