Lacking Depth and Clarity
The Mexican Street Food course unfortunately did not meet expectations. It feels more like a presentation than an educational course. Many steps were skipped, explanations were superficial, and important details were missing. I had to look for precise guidelines outside the academy to understand the preparation process.
