These skill sets are the necessary foundation that students will need to succeed in their classes at SCA and in their careers. Therefore, a high level of proficiency will initiate the opportunity for greater success. It is my goal to assist the student in forming a solid foundation from which they can build upon. I believe that the hands on practice reinforces the theory behind the lessons. Every time we practice it is an opportunity to increase our proficiency at a given skill. Students will work individually and in groups to facilitate their learning. I encourage students to focus on making the most of their educational process. SCA is a first- rate culinary arts program that offers the student great opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills to succeed in the foodservice industry.

4 Extra Credit Policy: Extra credit is awarded for documented community service within the food service industry. Ask for prior approval from your instructor in order to confirm eligibility of any event or organization you will be volunteering for. Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty including cheating and plagiarism are detailed in the Washington State Administration Code, WAC 132F and subject to disciplinary sanctions as outlined in the student handbook. Alcohol and Drugs: Alcohol and drugs are prohibited. The Seattle Community College District IV policy #249 prohibits the abuse of alcohol and the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession and use of illicit drugs. This policy applies to all students while they are on property or while they are conducting college business, regardless of location. To provide a healthy, safe and secure working and learning environment each student is expected to be in an appropriate mental and physical condition to perform assigned duties and fully participate in the learning process. Students who violate this policy will be disciplined up to and including expulsion from the District depending upon the seriousness of the violation. A note on attendance: It's always great to have everyone at every session. But, if you cannot attend a class, please make it YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to arrange with a classmate to get the notes, assignments, projects, schedule changes and so forth. Please DO NOT ask the instructor for the materials or what happened in class, etc. And if you see someone is absent, please collect the materials for him or her and ask that they do the same for you. If you must leave the class do so in a manner that does not disrupt others. Disability Statement: Students with documented disabilities requesting class accommodations, requiring special arrangements in case of building evacuation, or have emergency medical information the instructor should know about are asked to contact the disability support services office (DSS) in room Once the disability is verified with DSS you will be given a letter of accommodation to be handed to your instructor. Students must request examination accommodations by the end of the second week. Feedback and Course Policies: Students will be given a weekly performance numerical grade. Criteria for this will be based on product evaluation, mise en place, professionalism, initiative, teamwork, speed, sanitation, safety, and extra effort. AVERAGE OF: Station performance Lead stations performance Knife competency exam = 50% = 25% = 25% TOTAL = 100% All three evaluations must be accomplished above a 2.0 (76%) score in order to pass CUL 111. Evaluating Outcomes and Assessment: Culinary Arts and Specialty Desserts and Breads are demanding and competitive fields. If you are not able to maintain the following academic standards, you are not acquiring the necessary skills to perform at an acceptable level in the industry. It is the role of the instructor to provide instruction and evaluation. It is the student s responsibility to seek instructor guidance and support in attaining competency in basic culinary skills.

5 Grading policy, criteria and scales Students in Seattle Culinary Academy programs are required to maintain a minimum of a 2.0 G.P.A. in order to remain in the program. If this G.P.A. is not maintained for two (2) consecutive quarters, the student will not be readmitted to the program. The same G.P.A. is necessary in order to graduate and receive a certificate or AA degree. Similarly, if a student receives a numeric grade lower than 2.0(76%) in any class, the student must repeat the course and obtain passing grade before being allowed to advance to the following quarter or graduate. Consistent with the college s policy, a student may retake a class only once. Culinary Arts is a demanding and competitive field, and if the student is unable to maintain these academic standards, the student is not acquiring the necessary skills to perform at an acceptable level in the industry. Students must complete all courses in the curriculum. Students who feel that they have completed an equivalent course at another institution must have their transcripts officially evaluated by the Registrar s office. The student must demonstrate that all competencies and assessments from that course have been met or they will need to enroll in that class. Each quarter curriculum builds upon the last quarter and so all course work or challenges must be completed before the student advances to the next quarter. Grade scale is as follows: Percentage Numeric Grade Percentage Numeric Grade Percentage Numeric Grade Students are expected to have all the necessary information in order to complete assignments and pass all written tests administered in this class. It is the student's responsibility to obtain any missed information or lessons due to tardiness or absence. No make- up exams will be given, unless the absence or lateness was the result of an unavoidable accident or a sudden serious illness. An appropriate third party, i.e., a police report or a note from the student s doctor stating the student s inability to take the test, must verify exceptional circumstances. Final decision will be made at the instructor s discretion.

6 Absences: Because our programs serve food to the public, any absences disrupt operations and require that others cover your position. Please call your instructor before 8:00 am if you will be absent or late (Chef Gregg at ). On the day of your second absence, your final course grade will be automatically lowered by 0.2 points. On the day of your third absence, your final grade will be lowered by an additional 0.3 points and you will receive notice of departmental probation. For example, if your course grade is 3.5 and you miss three days of class, your final grade will become 3.0 (and you will be placed on departmental probation). Your grade will be lowered 0.4 points for each subsequent absence. (For example, if your final grade was 3.0 after three absences, it will become 2.5 after four absences, 2.1 after five absences, and 1.7 after six absences.) After seven absences, you will be required to retake the course, and consequently will not be allowed to advance to the next quarter in the program until you receive a satisfactory grade in all courses. 2 days = days = days = days = days = Late/Tardy: Any student arriving late will be marked absent. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor before the end of class and ask that the absence be changed to a tardy. Three tardies is equivalent to one absence, and all tardies over 15 minutes automatically become an absence. For longer classes it is 15 minutes per hour (i.e. for a four hour lab you would be considered absent after one hour). Evaluating Outcomes and Assessment: Tests are given in order to evaluate a student s knowledge of learning outcomes for the class. This is to indicate if a student is prepared to go on to more advanced and comprehensive subject matter. Students may request an appointment with the instructor to review their current grade. Seattle Culinary Academy Standards and Procedures apply to this course and all departmental activities. Included are the following policies: American Disabilities Act Statement, departmental absentee and grading with scales.
