To My Esteemed Colleagues:
Thank you for adopting this text—hopefully, you will find this manual helpful in teaching this
course. This manual is only a guide for teaching the course. Your resourcefulness will win the
day. For example, there is a wonderful story about Bill Marriott, that has been re-inserted in the
first chapter. You can YouTube it by googling Bill Marriott ‘What do you think’? YouTube.
There are also several about Conrad Hilton and Horst Schulze and others.
Chapters have several PowerPoints, some students like them—others don’t, so you may
suggest students read them outside of class allowing you to focus on activities and discussions.
For example, each chapter should have a “What do you think?” question that can help hone
critical thinking skills in classroom discussion. Some professors invite colleagues to present in
classes so students have a chance to meet them and be introduced to their subject areas. You can
also invite industry professionals to be guest speakers or take the class on industry visits.
Each of us brings a slightly different background of experiences to the classroom, some of us
think that students don’t read enough so they place hospitality-related books on reserve in the
library for students to not only read but also write a one-page summary per chapter. The
Introduction to Hospitality class affords an opportunity to introduce a number of colleagues, and
faculty who can make presentations on their areas of expertise. Additionally, industry guest
speakers and alumni are also popular with students. For a list of possible YouTube videos please
contact me at dwalker3@usf.edu or message/call 941 685 4571.
