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. Our policy is as follows: Academic classes: Attendance guidelines for general education and division academic classes are determined by the instructor. Grades are determined by the instructor. Theory classes: 7:10 - 7:50 a.m. Monday through Thursday Daily sign-in sheets will be provided to document student attendance. The sign-in sheet will be pulled at 7:20 a.m. Students not signed in at this time will be considered absent for the day. Production classes: 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday Absences: It is a courtesy to your fellow student to call-in when absent. Please leave notification by 7:00 a.m. for each absence. The Culinary Arts Program office telephone number is 596-5445 (Chef Martinson) or 596-5392 (Chef Wiklendt). 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 module grade. b. There is a maximum of two days of unexcused absences in each quarter. c. A third unexcused absence in a quarter will result in dismissal from the program. d. Students arriving after 7:20 a.m. or leaving prior to the end of the instructional day (1:00 p.m.) without instructor approval will be recorded the same as an absence. e. 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.
Any three (3) days of absences in a module-excused or unexcused- will result in an f for that module, and possible dismissal from the program. 100% Attendance should be every students goal!

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.
