portfolio checklist
bcom@utd
Your objective: Demonstrate what you’ve learned this semester.
This portfolio is the major grade for this class. You want to include the work that you have done. Think of this as academic portfolio meets business plan for the design.
The big goal is to tell your story of growth as a communication. You have written a lot this semester. You did some great presentation work. Now you will pull all of that work together into one PDF/Word file document. Demonstrate your success, improvement, and your plans for the future as a professional communicator.
