Assignment (due Sunday on Canvas)

Portfolio Update

The final portfolio was introduced week #2 in the online guide and lecture.  You can also view the portfolio information on the portfolio webpage and also on Canvas. 

In this assignment you will be committing to a portfolio format and completing one of the nine sections of the final portfolio.

6p2 Portfolio Update

For your portfolio update media piece you are turning in a completed part of your final portfolio; one of the nine learning outcome sections.

    • Use the format your final portfolio will be in.  For example, this may be a powerpoint slide, a handmade journal page, a webpage, or whatever format you are using.  If you are hosting your portfolio on a website, you can submit the web address in the comment box.  Make sure the graders have access to whatever you are submitting.
    • Label the page/slide with which learning outcome is being met (for example: biology concept; science skills; or human biology connection).
    • Include your original work that represents the learning outcome. This needs to be substantial, which typically means at least two pieces of work.    For example, you may have one entire media piece and a  quiz answer representing a single learning outcome.  
    • Along with your work representing the learning outcome, include a sentence or two caption that states how your work matches this particular outcome. For example, if you made a comic of the various organ structures and functions of the digestive system, you could state how your comic art is an example of a human biology connection.
    • If you utilize anyone else’s work, like a photo from the internet, it needs to be fully cited (accessible web address) next to the work.  Note that we are only crediting and grading your personal and original work, so you can include other cited images for reference, but they will not make up this assignment’s or your final portfolio’s grade.

Upload to Canvas a completed section (one of nine outcomes) of your final portfolio.  This includes:

A. the name of the outcome you are completing (one of the nine).

B. at least two examples of your original work in your chosen final portfolio format that represents that outcome.  For example, if you select the “science skills” outcome, you would have two pieces of original work that represents science skills.

C. a caption that explains how your work relates to the outcome.  This can be short, like “An aspect of Biology Concepts is how structure relates to function.  This media piece and quiz response relate skeletal and muscular structures to how they specifically function.”

D. Upload a single file to Canvas.

Media Directions

Submitted to Canvas. 
 
Upload your portfolio update media piece to Canvas.  Your single file can be submitted as a PDF, a word document, a website link, or even a video.  Multiple assignment formats are supported.
