Grading, Student Records, and Homework:

Student progress is assessed during each grading period of the course. Methods of demonstration, teamwork in pairs and small groups, cooking labs, quizzes, tests and projects will be used for assessment.

Please be aware that student grades will be updated on a weekly basis. If a student misses class or turns in work at a later date, it will be entered in a timely manner.

Homework and Late Work:

Students are expected to turn in work on the due date set by the teacher. If the work is turned in late, it will result in half credit (1 day late) or zero/no credit (2+ days).

Absences and Make-up Policy:

If a student is absent (excused only), they will receive 2 school days to complete the missed work. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the work missed from the instructor.

If a student misses a cooking lab, they will receive 2 weeks to make-up the lab. See teacher for lab make-up form.
