Notes about submission:
Your paper must show a significant level of self-reflection and assessment.
The most critical components of your portfolio are your reflective narrative and detailed plan for success. I must know what you have learned about the field, about yourself and developed a detailed plan. Also, it should be clear how this portfolio relates to information we have covered in class or that you have read in your textbook.
This is a critical component of your grade.
You should also include a foreword, which provides a narrative overview at the beginning of your portfolio and a summary page at the end.
A table of contents should also be included and a reference page.
The entire submission must be professional, including the assessments.
You conducted the self-assessments in Lab 2, but you are welcome to do others.
Please use the APA format and style.
