285 Portfolio
The portfolio
is a compilation of your work produced this semester in a format
that you can use to display your efforts for employers, future professors,
etc. The portfolio gathers your design products, along with evidence
of your learning this term, in order to demonstrate your advancement
and performance overall. The review will count for 40 points. Portfolios
are to be assembled in a three-ring binder with a plastic sheeting
cover. Remember that the purpose should be to present your work
well, to make it easy to review, and to keep documents in good condition
for your use later on. You will find your portfolio to be a very
important part of a job interview!
