Late work:

It is the expectation that students submit assignments in a timely manner. All assignments will have a predetermined deadline. Students who fail to submit their assignment(s) by the deadline have to complete the assignment with a grade deduction as follows: 

The late assignment penalties are based on each week it is late. If there are extenuating circumstances that can be verified, the point deductions may not apply, but the request must be shared with the Chef within one week prior to the original deadline. If a student does not submit an assignment by the deadline, a “Missing” will be recorded with a score of zero, after that the grade is changeable. After Week 4 the zero will remain and thus become unchangeable. The late policy applies to homework and projects.

Example:

Due date for Assignment #1 is the 15th of January.

Assignment #1 is submitted finally on the 5th of February, 3 weeks later;

Assignment #1 would automatically be deducted 20% of the full credit allotted and any other deduction according to the grading. 

If Assignment #1 is not submitted, it will remain a zero and marked as missing until Assignment #1 is submitted. 

 

Attendance:

Attendance is required.

What is defined as Attendance for Online Culinary Classes:

It is, signing onto Canvas on time, turning on your camera, having the camera showing your face on screen (not viewing the ceiling, just the forehead, etc.), staying active during class, and signing off when dismissed by Chef when class is finished and not before.

The Truancy Policy applies to Canvas courses. An unexcused absence may be counted as a truancy.

• Excused Absence is defined as:
  The parents shall notify the teacher by phone of the absence at least 24 hours* prior to the time the class meets.
• Unexcused Absence is defined as:
  An absence that does not accompany a parent phone call or email to the instructor at least 24 hours* prior to the time the class meets.

*If there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow for at least 24 hours, then the teacher must still be notified prior to the start of class; allowances may be made depending on the circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances: car accident, sudden illness, etc. Students should arrange a "back up plan" in case of unexpected computer problems the day of the class (i.e. make pre-arrangements to go to a neighbor, friend, relative, library, etc.)  

When students are absent, they must contact the instructor via email or contact another classmate to obtain the homework assignment.

Absent/Late Work:  Late work will be accepted for half credit up to the posted late work deadline. Absences don’t extend deadlines.

Daily Homework: Workbook Assignments are completed in Canvas, under the assignment tab, instead of written book work. Workbook assignments are allowed up to two attempts 

Attendance Quizzes: Attendance quizzes must be posted in Canvas within ten minutes of the live class for the students to mark attendance for the class. You will have three attempts to get your highest score on the quiz. Specific instructions for the quizzes and tests will be given in class, including procedures for submission and due dates.  

Final Projects:  There are two final projects, one due at the end of each semester. Final projects will 20% of the overall grade. For the first semester there will be a final project on all your practical assignments combined into a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation. Instructions will be given during class.
