CMAT and Company "Better Today Than Yesterday" |

"BROWN BOOK" "The Brown Book Theorem" is not so much a theorem as it is the application of typical business/industrial procedures in an educational laboratory environment. Typically in business and industry first line employees will see their supervisors walk around, observe how things are going and from time to time, take out his or her notebook or "Day Planner" and jot something down. (By the way, it's brown .) It's not until some time later, a month, two months, six months, maybe a year if that's you review cycle, that the employee discovers what was jotted down. You see, as the supervisor is giving the employee a review of the employees work performance, out comes the 'Brown Book' and there noted in its pages are why the employee is NOT getting the same raise in pay others are - too many breaks, called in too often, tardy, etc. Because CMAT and Company is run as a Production House and students work in team environments we use the brown book to identify and record team participation modifications - those who produce and those who chose not to. Though out the day notations, with regard to performance, are made by the facilitator. These notations have both negative and positive impact on your personal grade. Base grade for team members is the projects product grade. Individual grades are adjusted from that base grade. For example on a given day your project's product grade was 85. But you fell asleep. A notation was made at the standard -5 points. you personal grade would therefore be 80. another team member exhibited exemplary performance and was noted for +5 point. That team member would receive a 90 for the same day. The most common 'Brown Book' entries include:
* Per notation' ** At the third absence becomes cumulative (1st day = -5 pts, 2nd day = -5 pts, 3rd day = -15 pts, 4th day = - 20 pts, etc.) EXCEPTION - verified long term illness.. *** Repeated offense referred to Administration. Back to Grading |
