Instructions
Assignment Instruction:Learning Objective: Reflect on key issues and topics regarding the overall program experience.
Instructions:
Many potential employers and managers considering employees for promotion will ask you to reflect back on your educational accomplishments. Prepare a summary of the work you completed as a student in your BA/BS program at APUS/AMU.
Your Executive Summary should be a "teaser" for the reader. Entice the reader to want to read more about you and your experiences. A well developed, easy to read and interesting portfolio is just one more way to separate yourself from your job-seeking competitors. In this section of your portfolio:
- Tell the reader how you have organized your portfolio and how they can navigate the various sections.
- In the introduction, explain why you chose the program and concentration.
- Include a brief description of your courses, the program objectives that you achieved, as well as an overview of the important concepts learned in class.
- Conclude with your assessment of how the overall program met your professional and personal goals and how your degree will enhance your career path.
The Summary should be 1-2 pages in APA format. Submit your file in .doc or .docx format. Once the instructor reviews, please then plan to make any necessary revisions and upload the file to your portfolio.
Submission Instructions:
- A 1-2 page Word Document
- Must include a title page, not included in the page count.
