This is the french term translated to mean "everything in it's place". I know it sounds simple, but for someone like me who loses their keys/wallet/etc. on a semi-hourly basis, it's a hard dictum to follow.
Basically, what they want you to do is:
1. show up completely mentally prepared
2. prep everything for each dish beforehand (prep should be finished by the start of class)
3. during slower times clean up your messes and prep for the next class
For this particular class, we got the instructions on our dishes the day before. Given the above three requirements, that means I have to keep most of the events of the last three days stored in an easy access file in my brain. Like that's possible. For someone who skated through school without even paying attention, it's a rude awakening.
It took me about two weeks to wrap my brain around this concept and decipher the pattern of information imparted by the lectures. Now, after finishing my three weeks, I have 80 pages of notes, recipes and cryptic one words phrases which may or may not mean something.
Wish me luck.
