Evaluation:

We will cover the topics listed above in lab (cooking) classes and in theory classes.

• Labs are worth 50%
• Tests and quizzes are worth 15%
• Assignments/projects are worth 25%
• Iron Chef Final Exam is worth 5%
• Cooking Showcase assignment is worth 5%

Student expectations:

1.) Be ready to participate. Be on time. Leave your electronics (phones, mp3, headphones) in your bag unless necessary for class, in your locker, or at home. If you are frequently distracted by your devices, you will be calling your parents about it.

2.) Bringyour device (i.e. Surface, iPad, laptop) or a binder, paper, and a pen or pencil to every class. Keep your notes, handouts, and assignments organized in your binder; these resources will be useful during open book tests and quizzes.

4.) This class will require you to work cooperatively with your peers. Communication with group mates and a good attitude will be the key to your success. Be professional in your interactions and you will be successful as a group.

Missed Labs:

Each student is permitted one unexcused missed lab throughout for the whole year that will not count against them in any way. After that, each missed lab counts as zero. School-based absences (school sports teams, drama, band or field trips, for example) do not count as missed labs and do not count towards the use of the unexcused absence. All other absences, including doctor’s appointments, do count as missed labs.

If you miss a lab, you will get zero for the lab. Missed labs can be made up at home if you get a take-home lab sheet from Mr. Brett (or online from the Edublog) and you videotape the entire lab, from setup to clean-up. Each lab is worth around 2% of your final grade.

Department Policies:

Junk foods are not permitted in the classroom. We encourage healthy eating habits and will make sweet treats from time to time. Consuming healthy foods and drinks in class is permitted as long as all waste is composted and recycled appropriately.

We will explore these topics in the following units:

1.)Safety First

2.)Food Preservation: DIY…just in case

3.)Italian Cuisine: Mama Mia, it’s not just pasta

4.)Multi Course Meals: Did someone say party?

5.)SuperFoods: How to pack in every nutrient you possible need in three easy steps
