Holistic Learning Objectives Exam 3 Practice

In final evaluation, a reflective portfolio acts as a cohesive narrative and evidence base that ties together what you learned and how you applied it. It accompanies the capstone and the oral defense, letting you reflect on how concepts were translated into practice, why certain decisions were made, and what outcomes or impact resulted from your work. This portfolio demonstrates your ability to synthesize theory and application, showing how different elements of your project fit together and why the results matter in a real-world context. The oral defense uses the portfolio as a springboard to probe your reasoning, depth of understanding, and ability to defend your approach with concrete examples. It isn’t about replacing the capstone, nor about measuring attendance, and it isn’t optional in this evaluation setup.
