PORTFOLIO GUIDELINE

SPPE 1033: WORKSHOP SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT

The portfolio is meant to demonstrate mastery of knowledge, skills, and understanding
within the broad field of workshop safety and management. In essence, we are looking
for a demonstration of the following:

What you have learned (knowledge and skills) during your SPPE 1033 course.
A demonstration of personal growth during your SPPE 1033 course.
A demonstration of mastery or competence in one or more specialized
components of your SPPE 1033 course.
If submitted work is a result of a group effort, you should state clearly what was
your role in the group and what part of the submitted work was completed by
you.

You should demonstrate that the bulk of the materials, written statements, and actual
products resulted from your participation in the SPPE 1033 course. Otherwise, the
portfolio process might unfairly favor individuals with long work histories and penalize
those who do not have such experiences.
Content of SPPE 1033 Portfolio

The portfolio should include a synthesis and reflection of each of the topics
discussed and activities done in the class (e.g., group presentation).
For each of the topic, you have to include relevant materials/scholarly written
articles and references. A summary of each of the articles should also be
included.
The portfolio should also contain a synthesis and reflection on all the
assignments, class reporting and course projects.
Evidence of your works must also be part of the portfolio.

When assembling your final professional portfolio, think back over all the knowledge you
have gained, the experiences you have had, and the skills you have developed. You will
then write about how you have enhanced your knowledge and skills in workshop safety
and management. Discussion of your strengths and areas you still need to develop
should be included. You might also reflect which experiences were particularly valuable,
or what you could have done differently.
As you reflect on assignments, consider about particular insights you gained. Also note
skills you developed or used (example: technology, research, problem solving or
communication skills).

Since good communication is one of the competencies you must demonstrate, it is

expected that your reflections will be well written. They should be well thought out and
not ramble, or be redundant. The style should be professional, not casual or informal.
Pulling it All Together
The professional portfolio you assemble should be the best you have to offer. The more
carefully you have gathered and organized your work as you progressed through your
class, the easier it will be to pull together your portfolio and write your reflections.
The final product should be assembled in a 2-ring binder. While creativity is an
important trait, the emphasis on the portfolio should be content. It should be
professional in appearance and format. Refrain from using fancy papers and excessive
graphics. While there is some room for flexibility, the material should generally be
arranged in the order of the course outline. Evidences of work should be organized in
some logical fashion and clearly titled or coded. Quality, not quantity, should be the rule.
Tabbed dividers should be used for major sections of the portfolio
Your portfolio should be organized as follows:
I.
Table of Contents
II.
Brief description of your portfolio
III. Synthesis and reflection on each of the topics discussed in the class;
accompanied by relevant materials/references/scholarly written articles with
summary.
