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. 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.
Logbook summary
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.

Tips for completing this logbook
· Read through your logbook before you get started and make sure that you understand what you need to do. If you are unsure, speak to your assessor and/or workplace supervisor.
· Stay up to date! Complete a logbook entry at the end of each service period and ask your supervisor to do the same. Providing organised, complete evidence forms part of your assessment.
· Stay in touch with your assessor. Ask questions, raise issues, check in, communicate.
Most importantly, ask for help if you are having trouble!
Use this list to keep track of your progress. Please note that you may complete a number of these tasks during one cooking session so you will only need to complete a single service plan and reflective journal each time that you cook.

Please provide this page to your workplace supervisor at the completion of your required shifts.
This needs to be completed in addition to the supervisor endorsement section of your reflective journals. One copy has been provided in this logbook but you can make additional copies as needed.
