Qualifying Exam Portfolio
Upon concluding my coursework in the fall 2009 semester, I spent the spring gathering materials to create my portfolio for the qualifying exam for theTech Comm program at the Illinois Institute of Technology. This portfolio is organized by class; each of the Tech Comm classes are listed numerically by course number from low to high. Clicking on a course number reveals a short description of the assignments I completed for the course. The image to the left of the description is clickable and links to the deliverables for the assignment.
With this portfolio, I would like to continue to try to answer the question that Dr. Karl Stolley posed a number of times in class: "What does any of this have to do with Technical Communication?" It is a nagging question that is wide in scope yet somehow comforting in that it grounds me when I get overwhelmed. Completing my portfolio both online and in a print document allows me to showcase my work from the past two years in ways that speak to both the review committee for the qualifying exam and to the education I have received in the Tech Comm program.
My portfolio deliverables include: a binder of my coursework, a major paper written for publication, a substantial essay that introduces and analyzes my coursework, a website that contains my coursework, a dissertation idea, and a slide show presentation.
