Can you really rely on students to evaluate their own and other students participation. I have seen non-contributing students take credit for stuff they did not do and group leaders willing to share credit where it has not been earned.

Expectations

Many students enter culinary school expecting to become great and famous chefs and TV personalities. However, most will not. Any ideas for how I can introduce this reality without discouraging the students?

Plagiarism = Cheating Too

In grading papers, I find a great deal of Internet plagiarism. Sometime it is obvious as students cut and paste to produce an ungrammatical result. Sometimes I can Google a phrase from the paper and find the source. I sometimes check references as well. Most of these are very time consuming, however. What do most other teachers do in this circumstance?

Ex-Military Students

I have several older ex-military students in my classes. I find it difficult teaching these folks (they are more serious, having already had one career) along side my just-out-of-high-school students who have little understanding of what it is to be in the working world and an entry-level employee.

Boiler Plate Syllabus

What do you do when there is a standard syllabus developed and published by the school (online)? To what extent should you prepare supplementary materials to go with it?
