Was a little confusing when instructor or materials would reference a textbook but no textbook was listed anywhere in the course. Also there were several typos in the lecture slides and in the transcripts that were distracting.

It had a great workshop, but unfortunately, I couldn't figure out which book they were referring to when they asked us to read certain chapters.

Not a hospitality course. This is an HR course.

A short basic introduction, but has content directly from the full class at UNT. Unfortunately some of the questions on the test are not covered in the class and the textbook is referenced several time, but there is no access to it through this class.
