Laurie is THE best. Her class is not difficult by any means, yet I feel like I learned a ton from her due to all the experience she has working in the industry. She is hilarious and made an 8:45 am class bearable.

Laurie works in the field and loves to talk about all her experiences in the industry, basically do the chapter homework assignments and participate in class and you will pass with flying colors. Also expect lots of fun field trips!

The homework isn't bad at all. It should take you 30 minutes at most. Laurie makes the class fun and engaging. She even brought in interesting guest speakers. I would take her class again!

Wow, just an overall amazing teacher! Laurie really cares about her students and you can tell by her attitude. The class is not overly difficult but you still have to do the work. We always joked around with Laurie and she was always so friendly. She's also always willing to answer a question without making you feel stupid. Take her class!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! I LOVE LAURIE! Although she thought we were trouble makers in the class I know she loves us in the back row. This is a really easy class! All you have to do it keep with her daily assignments that aren't very hard. She's awesome! Take her for sure!

Easiest class ever. Nicest prof ever. She'll do anything to make you do well - actually works in the industry while teaching, so she has a new story every week! Literally tells you whats on the exams and finals. Only downside is her lectures can be REALLY self explanatory - so it's easy to convince yourself to skip class. But she's great!

LAURIE IS SUCH A SWEET HEART. She is THE BEST. She will do anything and everything to help you succeed in her class. Tons of real world examples for the restaurant industry. She even had a guest speaker, a Kent County Health Inspector come in to aid our lessons about food safety. She is awesome!

Professor Kelbel is awesome! She is a really easy grader and she has a lot of experience in the food industry. She has a lot of stories to share and sometimes she gets off track but I did learn a lot. Quizzes and tests are easy if you take notes, come to class and pay attention. The final project is a lot of work but it is broken up into steps.

Laurie is laid back and very friendly. Gets to know students and cares about them. Tells a lot of stories but sometimes she gets off on a tangent and its irrelevant. Overall, very easy and nice.

She is amazing, she is the hospitality professor from Heaven. The curriculum is amazing and she does a great job of making sure you know what you need to know in the working world about F&B. I highly recommend her, she is funny and makes class very not boring.

She is an amazing professor. You have homework from the book almost every class, but she doesn't bore you by lecturing about it. Super funny and basically just talks about her life experiences. She takes you on field trips too. Overall a great class.

She was very funny and constantly told stories about work and her own experiences. She likes to hear students experiences as well. The only reason I felt I learned anything new in the class if because of the STUPID Taps that are no longer necessary. Nice teacher, SUPER EASY GRADE, but don't plan on learning anything new. She's kind and helpful!
