CE 403, Fall 2011 Graduation Portfolio 1 / 2
Each student will submit a graduation portfolio following the guidelines presented by Dr. Fridley in class
at the beginning of the semester. Draft copies of your portfolio are due to Dr. Richardson October 31.
The draft portfolios will be graded and returned to you with comments.
As discussed in class, you may submit your portfolio as a “pdf” file. Here are the steps for preparing an
electronic portfolio:
1. Download the template (a Microsoft Word file) from the class website. You must save the file
with the extension “.docx”.
2. Review the 14 outcomes on the second page. For each outcome, select a minimum of three
appropriate examples from your coursework that demonstrate mastery of that outcome. Scan
the examples and assign a name to each. For example, “F1_Ex2” could be the name for
example #2 for outcome F1. Make sure that the scans are dark enough to be legible.
3. For each work sample, write a two to three sentence description of what you did in the work
sample, and how it demonstrates proficiency of the outcome. See the example descriptions on
the third page of the template. The quality of your descriptions will determine the bulk of your
portfolio grade. Try to use the same verbs (bolded on the second page of the template) in your
descriptions.
4. Insert your name on the first and second pages. Proof read your portfolio before the next step.
5. Save your portfolio as an “Adobe PDF” file.
