[Research portfolio requirements from the ICS website listed in italic, while the evidence of my compliance is in plain type, often as a subpoint in bulleted list.]
Evidence of ability to identify, critically analyze, and research a problem, and of written communication skills, in the form of two or more items authored by the student and reviewed by doctoral level scholars. The first item (literature review) is required; at least one of the remainder must be supplied.
