Overview of Assignment
Portfolios are used in both professional settings and in educational settings. Though they serve slightly different purposes in each setting, they act as "proof" of your skills and learned experiences.
Professional portfolios could include a number of documents (select "exceptional" pieces of your work that showcase applied skills; letters of support from co-workers/supervisors/clients; certificates of completed continuing education credits/courses; professional awards won).
Academic portfolios could be used for one specific course or an entire degree (such as a Master's degree portfolio) and include completed assignments with learning reflections to showcase professional growth.
Portfolios also act as a historical document for an organization as proof of work and as a catalog of the experiences along the way. They could document challenges encountered, changes in scope, and ways to improve in a similar future project.

PROFESSOR COMMENTS ON THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS ASSIGNMENT:
For the title, use the "how to" or gerund (ing) format. Adding some details about time to complete task and stage setting/preparing the space used in the dealership to change a spare tire would enhance the introduction.
While your tech description/instructions provide key terms defined, it is unclear what object you are describing for use in the instructional guide. You will need to add this to the draft in the portfolio (one logical object to describe is the jack used in the process of changing a tire). Also, it looks like some of the definitions used are not original/not cited. You will need to revise those for your own words to avoid plagiarism.
This section is missing in the draft. You will need to add a section that describes in detail what the object (a jack) looks like. Please see the assignment information.
Because the set of instructions is for co-workers at the car dealership, the context of use is at that workplace. It appears the instructions are written for anyone in a road-side situation, however. You will need to revise this draft so you provide instructions for a workplace task (changing a tire at a car dealership). As you work on those revisions, address the genre conventions for imperative mood (use strong ve
structures to command the user to complete steps). Also, pay close attention to parallelism in the commands. The numbered steps should all be the same syntax. For example, steps 1 and 3 use the gerund (ing) form; "locating" should be "locate". ANy sub-step (nested) should also follow the imperative mood.
PROFESSOR COMMENTS ON THE JOB LETTER AND THE RESUME
Letter format needs to be used (see assigned readings on block lette
co
espondence). Specific details need to be added to the body of the letter to show how you "fit" the job ad. This requires that you repeat key words/phrases from the job ad and then talk about how you have that skills/experience/qualification. Proofreading co
ections need to be addressed in the final draft.
Resume format is effective and skills/employment description detailed enough to understand your experiences. You will need to revise this to fit 1 page and proofread/condense the lengthy paragraph in the summary section.
PROFESSOR COMMENTS ON THE USABILITY REPORT
Strengths and weaknesses of the target document required significantly more (specific) details about the writing quality, content, and genre components. Missing graphics to support the assessment
Missing the completed heuristic evaluation worksheet. BACK MATTER
Back Matte
❏ APA formatted References list (any screenshots of your classmate’s documents; othe
esources mentioned – such as textbook or web materials – to support your assessment).
❏ Appendix A – copy of your completed heuristic evaluation/usability assessment worksheet
