Prepare an electronic Portfolio of your work as evidence of achieving the relevant unit learning outcomes while completing your team project. You must use the provided Portfolio Template, and your Portfolio shall only contain your work. Your Portfolio must include the following compulsory sections in the order listed. Additional instructions for preparing your Portfolio are provided on Moodle.

Grade Nomination: A self-assessment of your level of learning achievement (‘Sound’, ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’) against each criterion listed in the Portfolio Marking Rubric on Moodle. You need to substantiate all claims by including working electronic bookmarks (document hyperlinks) to the specific entries in your Portfolio that contain clear evidence of meeting the marking rubric criteria. The proof will come from entries in the sections of your Portfolio described below (Workbook, Reflective Journal, and Self and Peer-Assessment Results). Incomplete Grade Nominations or inactive bookmarks will lead to an 'unacceptable' grade for the relevant criteria of the marking rubric. Moodle will contain an example of a suitable Grade Nomination.

Workbook: Can be typed, handwritten then scanned or a combination of both but must be neat, chronological and legible. It should contain all your work for the team project in separate entries with headings and the date, such as: ‘April 20 – Project Risk Assessment’. These entries will show when you worked on each element of the project and how your ideas and capabilities have developed through the unit. You should not go back and edit old entries as this may prohibit demonstrating skills development. The workbook cannot be completed retrospectively and should include at least two entries each week while working on the team project, but can easily contain many more entries each week. Entries should demonstrate a variety of technical skills like researching, brainstorming, creating mind maps, flowcharts, explaining methodologies, creating schedules, obtaining and analysing experimental data, producing and discussing results, figures, charts, conclusions, or any other work for your team project. It is good practice to add entries to your Workbook first and then share a copy with your teammates to ensure you retain all your original work.

Reflective Journal: As with your workbook, you may type, handwrite then scan or use a combination of both but it must be neat, chronological and legible. The Reflective Journal contains your thoughts about how you and your team are progressing with the project and what you have learnt and experienced either directly by doing the work yourself or indirectly through observing others. Again, like the Workbook, at least two entries should be made each week while working on the project but you could prepare many more reflections each week. Entries must have headings with the date and a title, such as: ‘April 20 – Why I think Risk Assessment is critical for engineers’. Entries should focus on a single thought or reflective topic and conclude with a plan to apply what you have learnt. Reflective entries can demonstrate a variety of achievements like understanding how and when you learnt something, identifying effective ways to communicate and work with your peers, and comprehending the relevance of your learnings to your future engineering career. You should not go back and edit old entries as this may prohibit demonstrating skill development. You cannot complete the Reflective Journal retrospectively. Refer to the Reflective Writing Guide on Moodle for an example entry.

You can expect that your lecturer will ask to see your Workbook and Reflective Journal at any time during the team project to ensure you are progressing suitably towards achieving the associated unit learning outcomes. You should also be aware that to complete this assignment successfully you must commence your Portfolio several weeks before the due date, ideally, as soon as you start the project.

Self- and Peer-Assessment: You are required to complete an anonymous Self- and Peer Assessment (SPA) questionnaire towards the end of your team project. SPAs provide de-identified formative feedback to you and your teammates about aspects of teamwork that are perceived by peers to be 'working well', 'satisfactory' or 'could be improved'. If you disagree with SPA feedback, then your thoughts should be articulated through an entry in your Reflective Journal and sent to your lecturer for consideration. Guidelines for completing SPAs are on Moodle. SPAs are accessible through Moodle.

Viva Voce: You may be contacted during the exam weeks by your lecturer to answer questions that clarify unclear learning claims or evidence in your Portfolio. Notify your lecturer when submitting your Portfolio if you will be unavailable during this period.

A Marking Rubric on Moodle includes criteria for demonstrating learning achievements at the ‘Sound’, ‘Good’ and ‘Excellent’ levels for all Portfolio tasks.
