Portfolio & Reflections (Final Drafts of Job Letter, Resume, Tech Description, & Instructions) Points: 200 points Word Count: 2000 to 2500 words (single spaced) (excludes the Appendix attachments) Formal Report Format: Letter of Transmittal, Cover Page, Front Matter, Content of Portfolio with Two Graphics (evidence of revisions/feedback for drafts) & Back Matter Overview of Assignment Portfolios are used in both professional settings and in educational settings. Though they serve slightly different purposes in each setting, they act as "proof" of your skills and learned experiences. Professional portfolios could include a number of documents (select "exceptional" pieces of your work that showcase applied skills; letters of support from co-workers/supervisors/clients; certificates of completed continuing education credits/courses; professional awards won). Academic portfolios could be used for one specific course or an entire degree (such as a Master's degree portfolio) and include completed assignments with learning reflections to showcase professional growth. Portfolios also act as a historical document for an organization as proof of work and as a catalog of the experiences along the way. They could document challenges encountered, changes in scope, and ways to improve in a similar future project. Purpose of Assignment: Skills Practiced and Knowledge Gained • Create technical documents that are tailored to the specific needs and expectations of a professional audience; clearly define an audience and their need(s) • Compose focused, organized technical documents, including a statement of purpose, a clear hierarchy of information, and consistent, logical organizing elements • Thoroughly support your work with professional source materials, and use and cite those materials effectively and responsibly • Compose work that applies standard English usage and professional formatting, and make use of published guidebooks to aid your work • Create effective designs and informative visuals for technical/professional documents • Use organized writing/composing processes: generate ideas, evaluate rhetorical situations, research, draft, revise, edit, proofread; elicit, provide, and use constructive feedback in a productive manner • Employ good time management skills Required Elements for Success Letter of Transmittal ❏ Formal letter format identifies return address (your address), recipient address (me), date of letter, closing & signature line. ❏ Brief statement of the purpose of your communication. ❏ Brief summary of your projects and any acknowledgements. Front Matter ❏ Cover page includes a title, identifies who the portfolio is written for (me), who the portfolio is written by (you), and the date the portfolio was completed. ❏ Table of Contents lists the major headings (H1) and minor headings (H2 & H3) with the page number where the headings are located in the portfolio. ❏ List of Figures lists any figures presented in the portfolio with the page number where the figure is located in the portfolio (at least two graphics are required; these can be screenshots from your job letter, resume, technical description, technical instructions, or usability report drafts or other appropriate materials used to create the deliverables). ❏ Executive Summary is an abridged version of the full portfolio, mirrors the major section headings, and offers a brief summary of each section. It ends with an overview of the portfolio structure. Content of Portfolio ❏ Introduction orients the reader to the portfolio's content and purpose and provides an overview of what is in the portfolio. ❏ Deliverables describes the documents you created in WRI 327; it describes the purpose of the documents, and who the documents are intended for (target readers). ❏ Learning Outcomes explains how you met the learning outcomes for the course in the process of creating and completing the assignments in the course (job letter, resume, technical description, technical instructions, and usability report). ❏ Project Challenges & Learning Experience explains your personal learning reflections with creating the documents. What challenges did you face in learning about the topic? What challenges did you face in completing the technical documents? What new knowledge and skills did you learn from completing the technical documents? What revisions did you make to the final drafts and why? What would you have done differently if you had more time or resources? ❏ At least two graphics (screenshots) from your deliverables are included (these could be used in any section of the Content of Portfolio listed above). Back Matter ❏ References (as needed). ❏ Appendix A – Job Letter & Resume deliverable (final draft). ❏ Appendix B – Technical Description & Instructions deliverable (final draft). ❏ Appendix C – Editorial Review & Usability Report deliverable (final draft). Style and Conventions ❏ Genre expectations are met ❏ Single spaced content, 2000-2500 words (excluding the Appendix) ❏ Standard English (content should follow standard rules of English grammar and spelling) PROFESSOR COMMENTS ON THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS ASSIGNMENT: For the title, use the "how to" or gerund (ing) format. Adding some details about time to complete task and stage setting/preparing the space used in the dealership to change a spare tire would enhance the introduction. While your tech description/instructions provide key terms defined, it is unclear what object you are describing for use in the instructional guide. You will need to add this to the draft in the portfolio (one logical object to describe is the jack used in the process of changing a tire). Also, it looks like some of the definitions used are not original/not cited. You will need to revise those for your own words to avoid plagiarism. This section is missing in the draft. You will need to add a section that describes in detail what the object (a jack) looks like. Please see the assignment information. Because the set of instructions is for co-workers at the car dealership, the context of use is at that workplace. It appears the instructions are written for anyone in a road-side situation, however. You will need to revise this draft so you provide instructions for a workplace task (changing a tire at a car dealership). As you work on those revisions, address the genre conventions for imperative mood (use strong verb structures to command the user to complete steps). Also, pay close attention to parallelism in the commands. The numbered steps should all be the same syntax. For example, steps 1 and 3 use the gerund (ing) form; "locating" should be "locate". ANy sub-step (nested) should also follow the imperative mood. PROFESSOR COMMENTS ON THE JOB LETTER AND THE RESUME Letter format needs to be used (see assigned readings on block letter/correspondence). Specific details need to be added to the body of the letter to show how you "fit" the job ad. This requires that you repeat key words/phrases from the job ad and then talk about how you have that skills/experience/qualification. Proofreading corrections need to be addressed in the final draft. Resume format is effective and skills/employment description detailed enough to understand your experiences. You will need to revise this to fit 1 page and proofread/condense the lengthy paragraph in the summary section. PROFESSOR COMMENTS ON THE USABILITY REPORT Strengths and weaknesses of the target document required significantly more (specific) details about the writing quality, content, and genre components. Missing graphics to support the assessment Missing the completed heuristic evaluation worksheet. BACK MATTER Back Matter ❏ APA formatted References list (any screenshots of your classmate’s documents; other resources mentioned – such as textbook or web materials – to support your assessment). ❏ Appendix A – copy of your completed heuristic evaluation/usability assessment worksheet HASAN BASHA HASAN BASHA Contact Address Beaverton, OR, 97007 Phone 5032708030 E-mail
