Phase 4: The Digital Portfolio and Self-Assessment Essay

During our final phase, you will substantially revise your major assignments, articulate and analyze your learning process and gained knowledge, practice formal reflection writing and editing, and prepare your final digital portfolio. 

Note: you should have access to all readings & all assignments every class (in print or on your laptop/phone). This is because we’ll likely refer back to previous assignments/readings.
