Eliminating Infectious Diseases Media

Introduced in the Polio section of this guide:

The final portfolio is due next week (finals week #11) by Wednesday 11:59 p.m. P.S.T. The final portfolio will include 18 pieces of your work; two representing each of the nine course outcomes. It will also include an introduction page.

For this media assignment, you are writing the introduction page for the portfolio and uploading it to Canvas.

The introduction page explains the portfolio. Include in your introduction page:

a brief overview of the format you are using. For example: let the viewer know that each page is a different outcome, or that there are two slides for each outcome, or a different video for each outcome, etc. This is a roadmap so the portfolio format makes sense. You can substitute this with a Table of Contents instead, if you prefer.
a brief description of how the portfolio demonstrates your mastery of the course outcomes.
a brief description of how you may use the portfolio into the future.

Media Directions

To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.
