Video of Lee Cockerell Saying:
“So here is the dilemma I had. I had this great chef at the California Grill. He was incredible. He was probably the best chef ever, he was excellent. He started treating people really badly, he had no respect for people , people didn’t wanna work for him. People started quitting. We started doing less business because this guy terrorized everybody. He was one of these chefs that goes nuts. What should I do with this guy?This is a great chef this could be one of the best restaurants in the world with this food he’s putting out. What should I do?”

Weekly Discussion Guidelines
Online discussions are an important component of the program and course. You are expected to respond to the discussion questions with your initial post by the 3rd day of the unit week. After the initial post, you will then respond to multiple peers to drive the weekly unit discussions. One peer response should occur on a different day of the unit from your initial discussion post. You should respond to your peers throughout the unit week, but all responses need to be submitted no later than the last day of the unit week.
Each week your discussion will be graded on a point scale. In order to successfully complete each weekly discussion assignment, you will need to address all items included in the discussion topic/question, respond to peers thoughtfully, add value to the discussion, and apply ideas, insights, or concepts from scholarly sources, such as: journal articles, assigned readings, textbook material, lectures, course materials, or authoritative websites. For specific details and criteria, refer to the discussion rubric in the Menu (⋮) or in the Course Overview Weekly Discussion Guidelines.
Note: This is a fast-paced baccalaureate level course that will sometimes require significant effort to complete all assignments thoroughly, accurately, and on time. Late submissions will not be accepted for grading. Any submissions outside of the assigned unit week will not be counted. Please ensure that you plan accordingly and take steps to ensure you meet the assigned submission dates.
