Portfolio Assignment
CAP240
Spring 2010

The portfolio assignment is in place of a final exam in the course. It is meant to showcase what you have learned about creating web pages, producing professional looking desktop published documents and using advanced features of PowerPoint.

This semester your homework projects have centered on the fictional Whitney Point Small Animal Zoo. For your portfolio assignment, I would like you to select a fictional or real organization, group or business. The only selection that is off limits for a subject is another zoo. You will create a portfolio of work for the organization or business as if you were trying to sell your skills to them for the job of Media Consultant.

Your portfolio must be mounted on your Cortland website. It must also be in your folder on the shares server. Your portfolio is due no later than Monday, May 17th by noon. You may submit it early. Please send me an e-mail (gretchen.douglas@cortland.edu) when it is ready to grade. Late portfolios go down 10 points per day.

Here’s what must be in the portfolio:

• An initial web page named portfolio.htm. All the other items in the portfolio should be set up as hyperlinks from this page. The page should also include a brief description of the organization or business, your name and your e-mail address as a hyperlink.
