This assessment requires students to prepare a portfolio. A portfolio can be seen as both a product and a process:

• As a product, it holds the work records and documents you have produced during the unit and represents an edited collection of your learning achievements.
• As a process, it enables you to monitor your own learning systematically, reflect on your learning performance, present a coherent account of your achievements, and obtain feedback on your learning.

This individual assessment task should be 1500 words (+/- 10%) and accounts for 45% of the marks for this unit. The portfolio comprises six (6) parts.

Part 4 - Resume self reflection (300 words) - Justify your choice of resume format used in Part 3 above.
