Portfolio Activity

Throughout the course, you will be completing various activities and assignments designed to help assist you in the successful transition into a post-secondary environment. Your portfolio will be a compilation of the work you have completed in class, copies of your graded assignments, and written reflections on the skills you have acquired during the term.

Portfolios that are not word-processed will not be graded. Each section is due during your advising appointment. Sign-up sheets for advising appointments will be available the week before the sessions. If you miss your appointment, assignments handed in after your appointment will be marked one day late. Late assignments will be deducted 5% per day and won't receive comments. After one week the assignment will not be accepted and will receive a grade of 0. Late assignment must be handed in at my office (K201) and will not be accepted via email. Part 3 must be handed in at your final advising session, and no late assignments will be accepted.

PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY 1: START OF TERM REFLECTION

The Discovery Wheel is an activity designed to help you identify the kind of student you currently are, and the kind of student you would like to become. It is not a test, and there are no trick questions. Be honest with your answers - it is a snapshot of where you are now as a student.
