Doughnut Test :)

DCX 132

The task was for us to decide the mark under PRESENTATION. The marks will be upon 3. Basically what we will be looking for are:

• Serving size (1 mark)
• Serving plate (1 mark)
• Garnishing / Topping (1 mark)

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 1 (appropriate plate used)
• Garnishing / Topping = 0 (topping okay, garnishing is scattered)
• Total Mark: 2

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 0 (plate not suitable for teenager)
• Garnishing / Topping = 1 (topping okay)
• Total Mark: 2

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 1 (appropriate plate used)
• Garnishing / Topping = 1 (garnishing compliment doughnut)
• Total Mark: 3

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 0 ( not appropriate plate used, oval plate with round doughnut)
• Garnishing / Topping = 0 (not appropriate used of garnishing)
• Total Mark: 1

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 1 (appropriate plate used)
• Garnishing / Topping = 1 (simple and nicely decorated)
• Total Mark: 3

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 0 (plate to small to accommodate the size of doughnut)(doughnut chucking out of the plate, not appealing)
• Garnishing / Topping = 1 (tried to garnish with raisin)
• Total Mark: 2

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 1 (appropriate plate used)
• Garnishing / Topping = 0 (tomato does not compliment with doughnut, if possible not to put any garnish)
• Total Mark: 2

• Serving size = 0 (serving too much for one person)
• Serving plate = 1 (appropriate plate used)
• Garnishing / Topping = 1 ( topping is fine,however white doily place can be on different colour plate)
• Total Mark: 2

• Serving size = 1 (serve one person)
• Serving plate = 0 (not appropriate plate used)
• Garnishing / Topping = 1 (glazing attracts)
• Total Mark: 2

This are my first initial thought on marking the presentation perspective of the product. However when Ms Chin discuss with us on each of the doughnut. I come to conclusion that when we are giving marks try not to find the mistakes that the student does but instead look out where marks can be given. The students had done their part to make and decorate their product, but maybe due to lack of interest, the end product id not what we expect it to be.

here are some thoughtful ideas that i get from Ms Chin:

• do not find students fault or mistakes, instead help them get the mark
• tell students to , "Server the best"
• try to be flexible to your students
• helping them to decorate is not an issue
• let them know that no garnish is better than with wrong garnish
