Comment:

Super easy class and barely used the textbook. He'd always bring up a page to look over or for you guys to read in class but he basically would skim the chapter and get off topic very easily. Majority of the time he'll tell you key points about what to study or look for on the test. Have a good resume and be ready for job opportunities/volunteering

Comment:

Professor Inglis is a good teacher with interesting stories to share. I always enjoyed listening to his opinion and hearing about his experience in the hospitality industry. However, his teaching methods just didn't work with how I comprehend material. He moves really fast and the exams were challenging to study for.

4 test(40%), 1 semester project which he helps make sure you have everything. Its on you not too lose it (30%), Final exam(20%), participation(10%). Be prepared to calculate your grades otherwise you are in the dark. Goes over the exam in class. You need the book because he will say you need to know this for the exam and literally its in the exam.

Comment:

He grades unfairly. A project he assigns involves a cover letter and resume. He graded my resume at a C and claimed I needed to use a newer format.. The student that sat next to me used the same format as I did and received an A. When brought to his attention he denied doing this until i brought up the other resume and he gave me a B instead.

One of the best professors I had at Valencia! Gives great lectures & teaches you things about hospitality you dont find in a textbook that are really interesting. He does love to read current events which is interesting finding out whats new in the field. Easy class super nice guy took him for multiple classes would absolutely take again.

Comment:

Professors Inglis' class is based on lectures with 4 test to follow and a project and that's it. He reads random facts from the newspaper everyday and then goes off on trails while lecturing. I bought the book and didn't really need it. The class just isn't what I was excited for.

He was one of the best professors that I have on my 2 years at Valencia. I really liked the way he teach( news from newspaper everyday, then he will jump to the units wth the book) He comes ready for class all the time. On his lectures, you need to pay attention cuz he will tell you "remember ,this might be on the test". He is organized.

Comment:

Professor Inglis is hands down one of the best professors I have ever taken. Class is not hard, tests come straight from the powerpoints and he tells you specifically what will be on the test in the book. Genuinely cares about his students, and is full of stories. Rarely ever stayed for the whole class, typically got out halfway through.

Comment:

There are only 4 tests and a paper to make up your entire grade. The tests are based on his lectures but can be worded oddly at times. Don't waste your money on the book. I've never opened mine. Half of every class is him talking about newspaper articles that don't pertain to the course and aren't always accurate.

He is a very good professor. He doesn't assign a lot of homework. He gives a good exam review before each test. I'd take him again in a heart beat. He has a lot of great stories from his experience in the hospitality industry.

Professor Inglis is kind of high strung but I loved taking his class. He loves sharing whats going on in Orlando and I liked that. Make sure you take notes and make sure you understand what answers are needed on quizzes. I am looking forward to taking another class with him.

I love professor Inglis, I've taken him three separate times and I would take him again if I had another class to take. He's interesting and compares everything to real life situations. He does spend the first thirty minutes of every class talking about hospitality news and he lets you out early. TAKE HIM, you will not regret it.

Really great prof. I moved from a big state school in Ohio to Valencia this semester so having a really great prof. like him proved community colleges can still be great. He's definitely encouraged me to aim for Rosen, he's a really great resource for a lot of info on the major.

No homework. 5 tests (20 questions multiple choice). Each class covers one chapter's power point plus a lot of talking about news and the industry. Fun class. Little effort. We almost always get out over an hour early. The Prof. can come off very rude when dealing with him 1 on 1. Textbook was never used!

Mr. Inglis is an Awesome Professor. He engages you into Hospitality by linking you with resouces that is useful. I actually earned a 2500.00 Scholarship by volunterring for one of his organizations. Join the Hospitality Club and have a chance to experience HOSPITALITY at its best. His classes are fun but you must take notes and read for the test.
