Required Text: managefirst: controlling foodservice costs with answer sheet, 2/e national restaurant association ISBN-10: 0132175274 Course Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes: At the end of this class students should be able to: 1. Describe and analyze basic principles and procedures of the cost control process. 2. Examine and describe food and beverage purchasing, receiving, storing, issuing, and inventory control systems. 3. Demonstrate and appraise menu analysis techniques, emphasizing the cost/volume/profit relationship. 4.

Throughout the semester students will be called on to communicate their understanding of the material being discussed, and will be evaluated on their preparedness and willingness to respond to questions, not on the accuracy of the answer. Active class participation is highly encouraged. Reading the appropriate pages in the text prior to coming to class will help the student grasp the concepts dealt with in class, and add to the classroom learning experience. 1
Lack of preparedness, non-participation, and violation of class policy will result in reduction of the participation grade by 1% for each occurrence. Students will be graded based on the class participation rubric for this course. Attendance: Attendance through all scheduled class meetings is expected and required. Every excused or unexcused absence in excess of two absences will result in a reduction of the attendance grade by 2% points per absence. One absence in excess of two absences will reduce the attendance grade from 20% to 18%. Arriving to class on time, and staying in class until class is dismissed is essential. A student who arrives late can be disruptive to other students, and often spends a good part of the session trying to figure out what s happening rather than learning. Each late arrival, in excess of two will be considered an absence. Each incident of a student leaving early in excess of two will also be considered an absence. Students missing more than 6 days may be required to drop the course. Projects and Assignments: Assignments will consist of end of chapter problems or questions, practice tests, short essay questions, Internet research, industry field research, and field trip reports. All assignments are due the following class day after they were assigned. Late assignments will not be accepted for any reason. Plagiarism occurs when a student misrepresents the work of another as his or her own. Plagiarism may consist of using ideas, sentences, paragraphs, or the whole text of another without appropriate acknowledgements, but it also includes allowing another person to write or substantially alter work that a student then submits as his or her own. Any assignment found to be plagiarized will be given an F grade (and could be given an F in the class). All instances of plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of the Division and further action may be taken by the college. Quizzes: There will be frequent quizzes to assess your understanding of the material. The format of the questions on the quizzes will be multiple choice, matching, fill in the blank, and true/false. All of the questions will be based on material covered in class. Quizzes may not be re-taken for any reason. Final: Final evaluation is mandatory. The final exam will be cumulative and will be in the same format as the quizzes. The final exam will be based on the NRAEF-ManageFirst Competency Guide. A ManageFirst Certificate will be issued to students passing with %75 or better. Students must have an original NRAEF scantron (issued with the purchase of a new book) Class Policies: 1. No cell phones, radio, walkman, ipod or any electronic media are allowed 2. Students shall conduct themselves in a professional manner. No horse play or unsafe behavior will be tolerated. 3. No visitors are allowed in the classroom. 4. All Laney College policies, procedures, rules and regulations as defined in the College Catalog (and listed below) will be strictly adhered to. 5. No eating, or drinking (other than water) in the classroom. I wish to make this course as accessible as possible to students with disabilities that may affect any aspect of course assignments or participation. I encourage you to communicate with me by the second week of the course or at your discretion about any accommodations that will improve your experience in (or access to) this course. You can also contact the Disability Services and Programs for Students at 464-3428 for assistance. Laney College Policies Attendance Attendance is expected at every meeting of all courses in which students are enrolled. 1. Instructors may drop a student from class if the number of absences during a semester exceeds the number of times the class meets in two weeks, unless there are extenuating circumstances warranting special consideration by the instructor. 2. All instructors shall drop students who do not attend class by Census Day if the student has not contacted the instructor with an explanation satisfactory to the instructor as to why he/she has not attended. All drops must be recorded on the Census Rosters and Instructors Class Records. 2
3. It is the student s responsibility to drop from classes, with two exceptions: (1) Instructor s are to drop students on the Census Roster; and, (2) Instructors are to drop students on the Attendance Verification Roster.

The instructor s decision to drop a student for not meeting the attendance requirements of the class is FINAL. 5. Leaves of absence may be granted by the instructor or limited periods to cover illness, hospitalization, or acute emergencies.
