The ePortfolio Assignment[WLO: 3] [CLOs: 1, 4, 5]
In Week 1, you were introduced to Folio and created your profile. This week, you will add a Folio entry to your personal ePortfolio. For this assignment, you will be revising your Week 4 Minority Health Matters assignment you created, in which you described a chosen minority group’s health issues.
Part 1: Review the course learning outcomes and competencies.
Course learning outcomes (CLOs) are statements that describe what students will know and be able to do when they graduate from a course. As you continue through your degree, it is helpful to review the CLOs in addition to the program learning outcomes (PLOs) for your degree periodically. This allows you to reflect on the skills and competencies outlined, to develop those in yourself actively, and to apply them towards your career. Check the syllabus to review the CLOs for this course.
The assignment you created in Week 4 demonstrates competencies related to the following course learning outcomes:
- CLO 1: Define and discuss the terms associated with the discipline of public health
- CLO 2: Describe the organization and delivery of public health services at the local, state, federal, and global levels through governmental organizations, non-profits, the health care industry, and other community and commercial entities.
- CLO 3: Discuss the legal basis for public health and ethical public health practice.
- CLO 5: Analyze the history, role, function, structure, and future challenges of the field of public health.
For Part 1—Highlight your revisions using Microsoft Word’s Track Changes or Microsoft Word’s text highlighter.
- Revise your assignment.
- Think about how you can best highlight the skills outlined by the CLOs.
- Utilize the feedback from your instructor to polish your work.
Part 2: Representing your best work in your ePortfolio
Once you have revised your assignment, you will post to the ePortfolio you created in Week 1. You may want to consider including graphics or multimedia to add interest and variation. Given that your focus was on minority populations and their unique health needs, there should be many options available.
Think about the impression that you want your ePortfolio to communicate to those that view it. In other words, what do you want a colleague or a prospective employer to know about you if they view this assignment?
