Assignment Purpose
One of the important features of your portfolio is the opportunity you have to reflect on yourself and your learning over the course of your studies at Bryant & Stratton College. This reflection will help you assess your strengths and how you have grown intellectually and professionally. It will also afford you space to consider questions that are often asked during the interview and/or review process. This specific reflective opportunity asks you to consider the learning’s your acquired in COMM 150 (the study of the evolution of information and the impact of technology on research and how to access, evaluate, and synthesize acquired research.) and/or SOSC 102 (the study of society, social relationships, and the organization of human groups.). The study of sociology is extremely important in developing an understanding of self and in relation to others within the dynamic communities of college, career and life.
In selected courses you will build or revise a portfolio. The portfolio is intended to be a place where you collect your work and achievement, and to showcase your intellectual growth while in college. By the time you complete your program of study included in the portfolio will be a narrative, a professional marketing plan, a career map, job-seeking documents (resume, cover letter, references), evidence of program specific knowledge and learning, and life-long learning competence. Once completed and graded a clean copy of these documents will be uploaded to Optimal Resume for future use. Building the portfolio throughout your academic career will allow you to set goals, establish a plan for growth, and stay on course for graduation and lifelong learning achievements.
There are two portfolio assignments in SOSC 102: the Mid-term Essay and the Research Paper assignments.
After successful completion of these assignments you will have initial evidence for your portfolio of your relational learning skills (transfer knowledge from life lessons and formal instruction to new situations) as well as your ability to research and provide evidence to support your thoughts and ideas. As you progress through your program of study you will produce more advanced evidence for your portfolio of your relational learning skills. During job interviews you will want to highlight how you used relational learning throughout your program of study to support your ability to transfer knowledge from life lessons and formal instruction to new …show more content…
