V. EVALUATION GUIDELINES Grading in a vocational training program is a measurement of growth in skill and professional work ethics and personal appearance. Skill development, production (preparation), Mise en Place (organization), sanitation, teamwork, research projects, lecture notebooks, competency, homework, daily journals and testing make up the grading components. LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED and a ZERO (0) POINT VALUE WILL BE ISSUED.

EVALUATION PROCESS Students are evaluated and graded by the faculty. Performance is not compared to other students, but is based on the level of performance anticipated by this program based on overall industry standards A) Testing & Homework 20% (200 Points) Testing (There are no make-up exams), All homework must be typed and may be e-mailed no later than 7:10am on the due date. Lecture notes, cost outs, information discussed in class, required reading, demonstrations, video instruction, daily journal, laboratory and menus will comprise this portion of the students grade .The Daily Journal / self- evaluation is to be completed daily with date of entry with comments on learning reflections. These documents are to be maintained in a student portfolio and will be collected weekly. B) Projects 20% 20% (200 Points) There will be TWO projects for each quarter. Each Project Paper (to be 5 pages, doubled space, font size 12) must be professional and readable, objective, clear, concise, fluent, reads well aloud, includes observable facts, meaningful, relevant content. A bibliography must be attached with ISBN numbers and /or web sites. Except for journals and cost outs, ALL work must be typed. Any plagiarized paper will receive zero points for a grade and an F grade will be given for that project. Project #1- Mid Term Project #2 - Final

C) Attendance 10% (100 Points) The nature of the Food Service/Hospitality industry is such that attendance and punctuality are of primary importance. For this reason the Culinary Arts Program requires strict adherence to our attendance policy. Excessive absences on the job will result in termination by most employers. The workload and time deadlines dont change if someone does not report to work, creating a hardship for the rest of the working team. Daily class schedule is as follows: 7:00 12:50 p.m. Monday through Thursday

Students not on their assigned stations as designated will be considered absent for the day. Attendance guidelines for general education and division academic classes are determined by the instructor. Grades are determined by the instructor.

Leave a message if there is no answer. a. Each unexcused absence will result in a 50% down grade for the attendance portion of the grade. b. There is a maximum of two days of unexcused absences in each quarter. c. Students arriving after 7:00 a.m. or leaving prior to the end of the instructional day (12:50 p.m.) without instructor approval will be recorded the same as an absence. d. For an absence to be considered excused a student must have documentation from a medical professional; or, if there is a serious illness or death in the family; or, if there is a summons for jury duty. A call-in is still necessary by 7:00 a.m. each day. Please note carefully the following paragraph.

PLAGIARISM Definition: What is Plagiarism? Simply stated, plagiarism is using another persons words or ideas without giving credit to the other person. We often assume that most students understand the difference between using an article, book, etc. as a reference and borrowing wording material for a presentation. What are some common types of plagiarism? Downloading a free research paper (often written by another student potentially with old references). Buying a commercially offered research paper. Copying an article or paper from the web. Cutting and pasting a paper from several sources. Paraphrasing or quoting certain parts from an original text. False citations. In their book, The Logic and Rhetoric of Expression, Harold C. Martin and Richard M. Ohmann identified some distinct forms of plagiarism, including: 1. Word-For-Word Plagiarism This example will likely consist of an opening sentence of a paragraph, or a portion of it that is composed by the writer. What follows will be an exact copy of the original text of anothers work. This is the most obvious form of plagiarism we face and, perhaps surprisingly, the most common. 2. The Mosaic In this example, the writer will pull various short phrases from an original text and weave them into their writing in various ways. 3. The Paraphrase Martin and Ohmann indicated the purpose of paraphrase should be to simplify or to throw a new and significant light on a text . . . and should be rarely resorted to by a student except for the purpose of . . . personal enlightenment.
