Assignment Overview
In this unit you are required to complete a weekly and consolidated portfolio. A portfolio provides evidence of previous and current experience and presents a dynamic record of your growth and professional learning over the duration of this unit. Your portfolio will provide an account of your learning based on your practice and your critical reflection.
Task
Your task is to write weekly portfolios reflecting upon your learning from the prior week.
In your portfolio you will identify:
the learning outcomes and module/topic of the unit,
a description of your experience, including reading samples or records,
your learning from your experiences, and
Any supporting documentation of prior or current learning. Purpose The primary purpose of this assessment item is to help you to develop skills for undertaking research and translating, via your technical and creative skills, underpinning concepts about project management methodologies.
The secondary purpose of this assignment is to give you the opportunity to enhance your analysis, critical thinking and written communication skills; particularly in the areas of thinking about and reflecting on different project domains and project management methodologies.
Developing a portfolio, as a result, makes your learning more explicit as you translate your workplace and personal experiences into documented evidence.
You can then learn to critically examine the nature of your learning on this unit in relation to specific experiences in your project management practice and demonstrate that you have learned from those experiences and how you have achieved or maintained your professional competence as a result.
The assignment will also give you the opportunity to enhance your analysis and written communication skills; particularly in the areas of rigorous structured assignment writing. Consolidated Portfolio Since you'll have made your own journey studying during the unit then the material that you will want to include in this portfolio will be unique for you.
Your final portfolio will explain how you have developed your understanding of the learning outcomes and the topics with each week's study.You final portfolio MUST be made as a single submission.
For example:- . You could merge all your submissions into one and provide a single big file. You must NOT use an index and numbering system to identify material from prior week's leaving each portfolio on the unit web site. Whatever way that you do it, the consolidated portfolio submission is the important one! It's important that you make it clear to the marker what your consolidated portfolio refers to otherwise you may not get the marks you expect.
An analogy for the final portfolio is that you can imagine that you are going before an examination board at the end of the unit and presenting to them a complete portfolio of your journey through the unit. You will hand each board member a package that they should then be able to read and from it appreciate everything that you have done and learned during your work life and the unit.
Referencing . Harvard (author-date) Ensuring you have accurate references is important and will allow the marker to easily identify where your portfolio maps to the unit or other peer reviewed material. Also you need to show how you have made critical reflection on the material and added your own unique insights.
Referencing should be made according to CQU's Harvard referencing guide. To locate the guide then Google "CQU Harvard referencing" and download the PDF file for the current year.
