Evaluation Notes and Academic Missed Work Procedure:
Practical Assessments: Requirements of the practical tests involve the students completing a practical hair styling application of the instructor's choice. Practical Weekly Assessment: The purpose of conducting lab / practical work within the program is to offer the student the opportunity to develop and practice skills discussed in class. Students will be graded on attendance, cleanliness of station, cleanliness of hair styling products and tools, etc. This component of the course evaluation assumes full mark value will be assigned and that the student inability to develop the skills outlined will result in a deduction of marks from a possible total of 20%. This 20% can be broken down in the following ways: 1. Technical Skills Development (10%): This refers to the students ability to demonstrate ongoing development of skills and techniques being discussed in class. It includes: manipulation of hair styling tools, supplies, and equipment, physical application and hair styling creations, appropriate product choice, personal care and presentation, and product maintenance. 2. Business Skills Development (10%): This area refers to the students ability to develop a 'businesslike' and professional demeanour within the classroom setting. This includes appropriate dress and makeup, effective time management, leadership ability, and knowledge of class, station setup, and procedures, and a further commitment to develop skills through ongoing practice inside and outside the class.
