The MUST TAKE prof for HMD 401! Do not even think about taking anyone else! Study from the book, which is easier than the other profs, and as long as you go to class and take notes, you will be fine. Plus he puts the powerpoint online. As long as you do the reading, you will do well, but there is a lot of reading.

Prof. Werner is one of the best professors at UNLV! He managed to turn a commonly boring subject into something really interesting. He jokes around a lot, which makes the class go by a lot faster.

Very tough class, but the lectures fly by and you'll want to attend because the stories make it fun! Absolutely need the textbooks or you won't know what is going on.

Werner is one of the best professors at UNLV!!! Be prepared to be challenged and actually learn! His lectures are engaging, fun, and really help you understand the material. Make sure to read the book before class, it'll make your life a million times easier. He genuinely cares about his students success too, so head to office hours if youre stuck!

Dr. Werner is by far the best professor at UNLV. Yes the class is tough, its a law class. But his lectures are so enjoyable and he is all around just a great guy who genuinely cares about his students. Go to his office hours, pay attention, read the book, have fun with it! I liked his class so much I even took his elective course! TAKE HIS CLASS !!

I took this class as an elective because of how much I liked Werner's law class, HMD 310. HMD 480 is very useful for any hospitality student as everyone should have a basic knowledge of unions and how they work. Not only that, but the class is easy, and his lectures are fun!

This class is really easy as long as you read the textbook and show up to class. If you can't do either of those things then you should probably look in a mirror and ask yourself "what am I even doing in college?". Bill's lectures are super fun and interesting and I don't think I've enjoyed a class as much as Bill's aside from wine and beer class.

I enjoyed learning from Professor Werner. He is very knowledgeable and loves engaging in relevant discussions. He opens up the classroom for discussion and creates a welcoming environment. It's important to show up for class. For a more difficult and content-heavy class, Bill Werner does a great job at making it as enjoyable as possible.

The expectations for this class were more difficult online than in person. The coursework asked questions with vague/unclear situations, so it was difficult to find a clear answer for the quizzes/assignments. After studying using the textbook/material that the professor posted, there was still lots of confusion when applying it to his assignments.

By far, the best professor I've had throughout all of college. He genuinely cares about his students' success and you can tell when you're in his lectures. Even with it being an 8am class, he kept us engaged all up until the end. Very beneficial content for the real world, and just interesting to learn about! Highly highly recommend his class :)

Professor Werner's HMD310 is a challenging yet engaging class. Attending lectures and using the textbook are a must, but the material is made interesting through his stories. unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool alongside other resources. Overall, a rewarding experience.

Professor Werner was a great course to take. with his fresh and energetic attitude and stories always captivating the class. However, be prepared to read a lot from the textbook cause you will not pass this course without reading the textbook or not showing up to the lectures. Overall, great lecture and professor!

This was the best professor I've ever had. This was a hard course but he made it as simple as he could. He was always available for office hours and you can tell he truly cares about his students. The workload isn't bad at all, usually a quiz before every class and sometimes an in-person quiz. He allows 1 sheet of notes for all 3 exams.
