Reviewer Comment “I loved the whole concept of the “bistro” model…very clever! The graphics were great, the directions were clear and helpful. I had no problems connecting and staying connected for hours at a time. I really liked the use of very helpful outside resources (articles) from various sources – the fact that someone else (i.e.. not me!) had found and selected these. Having additional sources listed at the end of the module was very helpful and appreciated in case I desired more info. The links within each article and assignment were awesome! I think the module was set up very well – read for information, review the information, examples, then apply the information.”
