COURSE EXPECTATIONS
BE ON TIME FOR EACH CLASS AND AFTER THE END OF EACH BREAK. CLASS STARTS
WITHOUT ANY DELAY!
A student’s late arrival to class not only guarantees that the student will have missed information,
but disturbs the learning flow of other students distracted by the late entry. If, however, it is
necessary for you to arrive late, in consideration of your classmates, enter with as little fanfare as
possible. This polite procedure minimizes much of the obtrusiveness of late arrival. Two late arrivals
will be regarded as one half absences.
Attendance to all classroom and kitchen lecture, field trips and guest speakers’ lectures is mandatory.
Participation in class discussions is encouraged. Active hands-on participation during production is
required. Sanitation in compliance with all State of Illinois health regulations is mandatory.
Remember that sitting on a kitchen table is not appropriate! Compliance with the guidelines of
Kendall College uniform and grooming polices. Students are expected to know syllabus content and
could be quizzed on it. Times of quiz will not be announced.
Please silence your cell phones and pagers; only emergency calls should be answered by leaving the
class and returning promptly.

them from each other. Students are responsible for their own tools. Missing or broken tools have to
be replaced. Points will be deducted from a student’s grade if tools are not brought to class. The
Chef Instructor will do random checks of all tools during class. Missing tools have to be replaced
immediately and result in dismissal from class. The student cannot return to class until the student is
in compliance with this rule. The following additional tools have to be bought by the student and
have to be available at all times during class sessions:

CLASS POLICIES

In anticipation of employment in the hospitality industry, students will be expected to
maintain the highest professional standards.

The student must meet the grooming policy. If the student does not meet policy requirements,
the student will be dismissed from class until policy requirements are met.

The student must show respect for the Chef Instructor and the fellow students. Any vulgar
language or harassment will be cause for the offending party to leave class. This
unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated.

The student must show respect for the equipment, facility and products, using them safely
and carefully.

If you have a documented disability that requires accommodation, contact the Kendall
College Disabled Student Services Offices to arrange for necessary services, or see the Dean
of the Culinary School.
NO student should leave class without the chef’s permission.
Only the required materials stated in this syllabus are allowed in the classroom or kitchen (no
handbags, coats, drinks, etc.) The student will be dismissed from class until all extraneous materials
are stored elsewhere. Lockers are provided throughout the campus.
Because of the amount of material that will be covered daily and the expected level of
professionalism, no unnecessary talk will be tolerated. Any discussions not pertinent to class
performance will not be tolerated. Students who do not comply will be asked to leave the pastry
kitchen.
The student will follow recipes and instructions to the letter - any changes must be pre-approved by
the chef instructor.

Copyright © 2000, by Klaus Tenbergen
A student remains fully responsible for prompt, on-time submission of any and all assignments due,
even if all or part of a class is missed. It is the responsibility of the student to contact a classmate or
the instructor to determine class material, assignments due, or revised instructions and deadline
dates. Inability to reach instructor is not justification for late submission. Exchanging accurate work
and home phone numbers with several classmates is strongly advised.
A dismissal from class will result in a zero for the day.

SKILLS
By the last day of class the students will have to demonstrate all the intended outcomes to the
instructor and show their ability to operate all the equipment in the kitchen, and will be graded
accordingly.
You will be expected to work in teams or as an individual as determined by the Instructor.
Please consider sanitation, organization of work, taste, texture and appearance of product, technical
knowledge, timeliness and teamwork. You will be asked to save all trimmings or scraps from your
preparations for inspection.
When the day is complete, make sure that the kitchen is left clean.

GRADE EVALUATION/ ASSESSMENT
“In my class everybody starts with the grade ‘A’. It is up to the student to maintain this grade.”
Our Class Logo: Attention to Detail. The grade in this class will be determined as follows:
Kitchen Performance including production assignments: 40 %
(Performance is the direct observation and judgment of student products or performance. It has preestablished performance criteria, and these criteria can be taken directly from the instructors
standards.)
Written Test: 25 %
Sanitation: 10%
Typed Notes / Portfolio: 25%
Extra Credit: 2 + 5 %
Any assignments can be handed in before the deadline and after the instructors comment
reworked for credit. Taking notes is mandatory! A minimum of 32 pages of notes is expected.
Everything else is unacceptable and NO credit will be given for any of the work.
It is very difficult to differentiate between excused and un-excused absents. Everybody has problems
sometimes and the class policy will treat all absences the same.
No credit will be given for time missed from class. Although points are not awarded for absences,
homework and tests have to be made up at the next possible opportunity. Each absence results in the
dropping of a letter grade, equal to 10% of the total grade. Two absences automatically result in a
falling grade (“F”). It is not possible to make up any missed classes. Coming to class more than 10
minutes late, regardless of the reason, will equate to ½ of an absence. Assignments turned in late will
lose 10 % per day, 10 % will be added if the instructor returns the assignments later then the next
14

class meeting. “F “as a final grade will be given to a student if failing to take any tests, hand in
assigned report and/or typed notes.
The only way that the instructor can provide feedback on assignments is by handing in two copies of
all required assignments. One copy will be kept on file and the other one returned with comments
and grades. No duplicates, no feedback.

H.A.C.C.P.
H.A.C.C.P. is the so-called safe food flow system, first developed for the astronauts of N.A.S.A. The
system is divided into four categories:
1. Contamination, such as cross contamination of food items, cooked/ raw.
2. Poor hand hygiene leading to transmission of bacteria.
3. Evidence of growth of bacteria and/or other pathogens due to poor storage, temperatures in
refrigerators, as well as holding/warming units.
4. Survival of pathogens and/or bacteria due to inadequate heating methods or poor sanitation
and dishwashing procedures.
The H.A.C.C.P. system basically defines the HAZARD of an area and then analyzes the CRITICAL
ACTION.
If you can manage to train all food handlers to understand the potential problems associated with
safe food handling, we can eliminate the many potential and actual food poisoning cases we
experience every year all over the world. Keep in mind that every year in the USA more than six
million people become ill from poorly handled food. Eighty percent of the cases are due to
contamination. We have the responsibility to secure its safe handling through a system like the
H.A.C.C.P.
The flow of food starts at the grower, manufacturer and/or distributor. We may or may not be able to
control it at the link. However, as soon as it arrives at our facility we are responsible for fast and
effective receiving. Check the date marks. Secure first in first out. Ensure proper temperatures.
When first issued, no return flow is to be allowed. Correct and sufficient heating and cooking
methods are to be applied. Ensure correct holding temperatures. Implement control systems for
17
Copyright © 2000, by Klaus Tenbergen
unused and/or leftover food. Personal hygiene and correct sanitation procedures for equipment and
work areas is paramount.

WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE WORKING, AND EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE TO
ANOTHER OPERATION.

USE YOUR THERMOMETER FREQUENTLY AND CLEAN IT IN BETWEEN USE.

CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT DAILY FOR CORRECT TEMPERATURES.

NEVER MIX OLD AND NEW FOOD.

NO BACK FLOW OF FOOD

DATE AND MARK YOUR FOOD.

USE GLOVES WHEN SERVING “READY TO EAT” FOOD ITEMS.
Remember that the H.A.A.C.P. system is not only the responsibility of the chef, but all food
handlers, regardless of title.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students are responsible for knowing and following all rules of the College and all rules for each
course in which they are enrolled. Rules for a course are found in the syllabus of each course.
Kendall College expects all students to fulfill assignments and complete tests independently and
honestly. The College will penalize any cheating or plagiarism and all other forms of dishonesty at
the College.
Cheating refers to the use of unauthorized assistance on assignments or tests. Unauthorized aid may
include the use of printed material, computer files, equipment, personal notes, or other people.
Student should assume that any form of assistance is dishonest unless it has been expressly permitted
by the instructor in the course syllabus or written assignment or test instructions. It is the student’s
responsibility to know the limits of assistance, if any, allowed.
Plagiarism “is the offering of words or ideas of another person as one’s own” (L.D. Lester, Writing
Research Papers, 4th ed., Scott, Foresman & Co., p.95). It includes the use of direct or paraphrased
material without proper documentation or attribution.
Other forms of dishonesty include (a) falsely claiming to have done work or obtained data, (b)
misrepresenting reasons for not completing assignments or taking examinations as scheduled, and
(c) submitting the same work in different courses without prior approval of the instructors.
An instructor who discovers any student cheating, plagiarizing, or being dishonest in other ways may
take such action as seems warranted, including giving student a failing grade for the assignment, test,
or course. The instructor will report such action to the Academic Dean in writing. The report will be
entered into the student’s official record for possible disciplinary action, including academic
probation and/or suspension.

SANITATION REMINDER
By training all food handlers to understand the potential problems associated with safe food handling, we
can eliminate the many potential and actual food poisoning cases we experience every year all over the
world. Keep in mind that every year in the USA more than six million people become ill from poorly
handled food. Eighty percent of the cases are due to contamination. We have the responsibility to secure
its safe handling through a system. The purpose of this responsibility is to teach the student how to
manage a foodservice operation from a sanitation standpoint and reinforce the importance on a daily
basis. Remember, sanitation is a way of life. This assignment will be part of the student’s final grade
equal to 10% or 10 points of the final grade. The importance of sanitation is reflected in the above
grading. Remember that this system is not only the responsibility of the chef, but all food handlers,
regardless of title. Here are some of the important points:

Every student has to show his or her sanitation certification at the beginning of the first class.

Thermometers and permanent marker pens are part of the student’s uniform.

Gloves need to be worn for handling of all ready to eat food.

All items need to be stored 6 inches above the floor.

Students need to inform the instructor about any injuries, even small cuts.

Uniforms should be free of soil and stain, including shoes, side towels, hats and aprons.

No cloth or backpacks are allowed into the kitchen.

Secure first in, first out.

Clean thermometer frequently and clean before every use with alcohol pads.

Remove any spoiled product and product that is not clearly identified.
The above is only a short checklist, remember what you learned during your sanitation class and
implement as needed.

Method:

Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time.
Both butter and eggs should be at room temperature.

Add the flavoring.

Sift the flour with the leavening agent and alternatively add with the liquid.

Do not over mix.

Place on a well-floured work surface and roll into 2 cm (¾ inch) thickness. Cut with a cookie
cutter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Pierce tops with the tines of a
fork. Apply egg wash and relax the dough 10 minutes before baking. Bake at 190°C (375° F)
for 16-18 minutes or until done.
History:

Scones are a favorite of immigrants from all over the British Island.

Scottish (bicuit-like) teacakes, cooked on a griddle or oven baked. The word scone is
pronounced in the soft Scottish accent like scaun. The name originally came from a perish in
Perthshire which was the site of the historic abbey and palace where the kings of Scotland
were crowned on the Stone of Destiny or Scone.

Scones originated in Scotland, but the name is probably derived from an old Dutch word,
schoonbroot, which means "fine white bread". An old Icelandic term for biscuits, skonrok,
comes from the same source. The first known reference to scones in English occurs in a
(Scottish) translation of the Aenid, dating from1513. Formerly, scones were rather large, flat
cakes that were cut into four so the scones were usually square or triangular.

Notes:
 Dried currants are optional.

Sour milk produces a scone with a light texture and makes an impressive alternative to sour
cream. To make sour milk, simply stir in 25 ml lemon juice or vinegar into 400 ml milk.

If cookie cutters are not available or if a different shape is preferred, the scone can be cut out
with a knife. Flour the knife; cut the dough in 5 cm wide strips. Then cut the strips diagonally
to form diamond shapes or triangles.
Varieties:

Cheese scones: Add 100 g grated matured cheese to the dry ingredients.

Whole-wheat scones: Replace half of the flour with whole-wheat flour. Add 100 g of brown
sugar.

Sesame scones: Add 30 g of sesame seed to the basic mix.

Raisin scones: Add 150 g of raisins to the basic mix.

Griddle scones: Proceed as explained in the basic scone recipe. Bake on top of the griddle
from both sides until golden brown.

Barbeque scones: Bake the scones on a greased metal sheet over heat.

Cream scones: instead of the milk, add 100 ml eggs and 300 ml sour cream.
Special equipment needed:

Cookie cutter

Fork
Guideline:

Served with tea, preservatives and whipped cream.

Thermometer calibration in ice water
To use the ice method, fill a large glass with finely crushed ice. Add clean tap water to the top of the
ice and stir well. Immerse the food thermometer stem a minimum of 2 inches into the mixture,
touching neither the sides nor the bottom of the glass. Take a reading and document. Wait a
minimum of 30 seconds before adjusting. Without removing the stem from the ice, hold the
adjusting nut under the head of the thermometer with a suitable tool and turn the head so the pointer
reads 32°F.

Comments
Your comments about how the course is going, its strengths and weaknesses, and how it can be
improved are greatly appreciated. The primary value of using technology in teaching is increasing
communication – communication of course content, communication for the sake of improving the
course, and communication for demonstrating its effectiveness. I’ll study the collected data, so I can
learn what’s working and not working. Your feedback will be used to improve my course and
teaching effectiveness. I encourage every student to communicate with me via e-mail at least twice a
week.
Course Evaluation
Course evaluations for this course are in Blackboard. Students can find the link to the survey in
"Assignments". Please take a moment at the end of the completed quarter to fill out the course
evaluation. I encourage you to go to one of the computer labs and take this survey electronically; we
are committed to discarding the old paper-based survey in favor of a more effective way of
collecting data from our students.
Interaction outside the course
Kendall College provides a setting that allows for maximum growth through student/faculty
relationships. Interact with me outside of class, as well as after the completion of your studies. You
may have taken my class, however I still remain a helpful resource throughout your education and
beyond. Send me an e-mail and let me know how you are doing. My e-mail is:
