Completing your reflective journal
You are expected to complete a reflective journal for each time that you cook as
part of your assessment for this unit (print as many copies as you need). Try to
think about the highlights of each service when you are writing your reflection.
You might also find the following questions useful:
What skills and techniques did I use?
What policies and procedures did I follow?
How did I ensure efficiency, safety and quality?
How did I ensure that my dishes met quality standards?
What did I learn during the service and how might I apply it in future?
What might I do different next time?
Supervisor declaration
Your workplace supervisor’s feedback forms an important part of the assessment
process and it is essential you have your supervisor complete their section of
each of your reflective journals and fill in the supervisor declaration after the
summary section. Keep in mind that, if you are completing your assessment in
your RTO’s training kitchen, your trainer will be your workplace supervisor and
should endorse your journal. Without their endorsement, your Logbook will be
incomplete and it is likely to be returned to you for resubmission.
Logbooksummary
There are a number of requirements you must fulfil within your assessment
process, so a Logbook Summary has been provided. Make sure you keep this
section up to date – it will help you keep track of any outstanding requirements.
