Transition to Online Culinary and Beverage Labs: Determining Student Engagement and Satisfaction During COVID-19

“…While the fundamental notions of course satisfaction provide a baseline, the current environment of COVID-19 (and beyond) requires college students to enroll in online courses with increasing frequency, which in turn requires faculty teaching lab courses to reimagine how they design and deliver their courses.
