About the Course(s)

Foundation Portfolio:

Students needed to complete the below to pass the course. Grades were based on their professional presentation during reviews and participation in class. Points were deducted for typos, files that failed to open, sloppy work, website malfunction, late arrival, etc.

Goals:

  • Websites highlighting work to date (platform of their choosing)

  • Their own professional email address

  • Approved resume on letterhead paper (.pdfs)

  • Example of their invoicing setup

  • Business Card mockups (contact info and URL must be included)

  • Take Away ideas for Senior Portfolio Show (mock-up)

 

Digital Portfolio:

Students comprised a final portfolio demonstrating their best work. They developed an online presence and gained knowledge that prepared them to enter their industry. Additionally, they prepared materials for their Portfolio Show Presentation at the end of term/program. Emphasis was on professional development, conduct and best practices. Prerequisite: Department Director Approval
