Genomes Media Piece
Introduced in the Comparative Genomes section of this guide:
For this media piece you are providing an update of your portfolio progress.
Upload to canvas a portfolio update that shows that (a) you have one piece of your work in each of the nine outcome categories (b) in the format you will be submitting at the end of the course.
For example, if you are submitting a slide show, you may be uploading nine different slides showing the work under each outcome category. Or, if you are making a scrapbook, you may have nine different pieces of work on different pages. Or if you are doing a video diary, you may have multiple videos uploaded with comments on how they link to each outcome.
This update is key; the final portfolio will have three pieces of work under each outcome, and by having each of the nine outcomes populated this week, it will be easier to fill in the remaining work over the remaining few weeks of the course.
The next portfolio media update will be writing the portfolio introduction in module #10.
The completed portfolio is due the Wednesday evening of finals week (“week 11”) which gives us time to grade them before final grades are due the following Monday morning.
