What makes a good ePortfolio great?
Take your ePortoflio to the next level by utilizing contextualizing moments and reflections to tie your experiences into a larger narrative about your journey as an honors student. Think about what your ultimate goal is from your undergraduate experience. Is it graduate school, a specific career, or something else? How have the experiences you've undertaken during your undergraduate experience helped you work towards this goal?
Every entry into your ePortfolio can demonstrate your progress and preperation for this goal. This also forces you to think reflectively about your past, current, and future experiences and how they play into your long term goals.
How do your individual experiences come together to demonstrate growth towards your long-term goal?
