Touched on all of these subjects, Even though you had some major criticism for your waiter I would of liked however to hear more. You mentioned some of the course material especially the 9 elements. Great job 5 The Classroom (5 points): 1. Presentation of the groups assignment. a. Use of media. Powerpoint, video, photographs (slide show) b. Presentation clear and audible for all the class c. Any others props used. ie. Menus d. Co-ordination of all members of the group Good presentation and you brought some props. Good slides and the presenters were loud and clear enough for all to hear. One suggestion is to have an end to your presentation so I suggest a summary slide. Maybe one that asks would you go back?

Bonus marks (5 points): At the discretion of the professor for exemplary presentations Touched on most of the required elements. A very good project. I would have liked a little more detail especially regarding the service such as how long you waited. I really liked your attempt to try wine and go with the suggestion of the waiter even though he failed miserably.
