Portfolio Update
In this portfolio update, you are completing one of the nine learning outcome sections of your final portfolio. This way you will know how to assemble the remaining eight sections well before the due date Wednesday evening of finals week/week 11. For this assignment, you are selecting a substantial amount of your course work (quiz answers, media pieces) to match one of the nine learning outcomes. This is two or more examples of work for a single outcome, such as a full media piece and quiz response, or multiple thoroughly written quiz responses.
Here are the steps:
1. Look over the nine learning outcome sections you need to populate with your personal work for the final portfolio (written above and also explained in videos in Guide 4B).
2. Review the work you have already completed (media pieces and quiz responses).
3. Decide which of the nine learning outcomes you already have enough work to fill (two or more pieces of original work).
4. Using the format you have selected for your final portfolio, write the title of the learning outcome you have selected (science concept, biology skill, etc.), add two or more pieces of your original work that you believe demonstrates your achievement of that outcome, and add a caption explaining why you think your work fits within that learning outcome. The caption can go right after the learning outcome title and before the pieces of work you are including.
You are turning in a completed part of your final portfolio; one of the nine requirements (the intro page will not be made until Module 10):
-
Use the format your final portfolio will be in. For example, this may be a slide, a handmade journal page, a webpage, or whatever format you are using.
-
Label the page/slide with which learning outcome is being met (for example: biology concept; science skills; or environmental biology connection).
-
Along with your work (two or more pieces) fulfilling the requirement, include a caption that states how your work matches this particular requirement. For example, if you made a painting of a clump of moss to teach about these plants, you could state how your painting was an example of an environmental biology connection.
Media Directions
To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.
Upload your portfolio update to Canvas. Your update can be submitted as a PDF, a word document, a photo of the notes, or even a video. Multiple assignment formats are supported.
