Plagarism

Hi Everyone,
It is another week this week I chose to write about what if someone else used and took credit for something I did. When I was in culinary school I was in a class where we had to make presentation platters cold and hot for competitions. The class was called Garde Manage it dealt with making items for large platters how do decorate them how to do ice sculptures and also carving food into flowers and birds.. It was really cool any way we were teamed up with one other person as our teammate and we had to do a presentation platter of hot appetizers. We had a week to create recipes and make them and choose the platter and make a layout of the food items on the platter and then decorate it. The hardest thing about this was putting the food on the platter without making any marks on it if you did you needed to start over again. I came up with a recipe for one of the appetizers and a layout of the platter this platter was for a midterm grade. When it came around to presentation day the chef came around and looked at everyone's platter and then started sampling after that he asked questions. He came around to our team and looked at the presentation and tasted my appetizer and he said that the layout of the presentation was fantastic and definitely an A platter. I was ecstatic until my partner told the chef that he came up with the layout and the recipe for the appetizer that he liked most which I created. I was so mad at the time but I kept my mouth shut until after class. After class I went to the professor and told hem that I came up with the layout and came up with the recipe for the appetizer I showed him my recipe and drawing and he said I am glad you came forward and he would take care of it. It turned out that he went to my partner and failed is portion of the midterm but I still received an A for midterm grade. It does not pay to take someone else's work.

Being an Online student.

I love being an online student because it allows me to be at home to raise my daughter. I am not working at the moment because I am not able to with my daughter's current situation. I am waiting on referrals for her to have her tonsils out. I also woke up this weekend and I was now sick. I have pneumonia and I am diabetic. . I really like the fact that we have total control of what information we let out about ourselves. Kaplan University us the flexibility of when to take our classes. It makes it so much easier to have the flexibility to do the work from home and do it when you want as long as it is done within the school's week. I like being able to go back and listen to the lectures again if I need to. Kaplan provides you with so much help to to the best you can. I try and get most of my main work and discussion questions done all by Saturday except for responding to classmates. This allows me to work on the next week's work. I like being very organized and try to be prepared for the next week's classes. I think the way things are set up that it draws you closer to your class community. I have some of the best classmates. My classmates and professors are some of the most caring supportive people I have ever met. It is a joy to be a part of the Kaplan community. I hope everyone has a great week see you all in class and on the discussion boards.
