I think that after completing this eportfolio it has taught me how important it is to have a good online presence. It has taught me that it is important to update your eportfolio’s frequently to establish a good online presence for others as well as future employers. It is important to keep your work up to date to show future employers you are dedicated as well as creating new work with new classes.
I think that having this ePortfolio available and updated after I graduate will really help me get a job. It goes beyond a resume, which is unique and can make you stand out from other applicants. In my ePortfolio, it includes coursework and projects which can show my personal work which is important for future employers. I am not very creative, but I could definitely add more information about me and pictures to create an even more appealing page.
Also, having relevant coursework is so important. I think Before, I wasn’t quick to updating my pages with my recent works and projects. Now I see how important it is to keep it fresh and up to date because people really check out these sites. Future employers can learn a lot about you from your eportfolio which includes more information than a regular resume. These pages are made for you to showcase your work which I find super important for the future. It is important to show what you are doing at school for your major, so employers can see how dedicated you are to not only your work but your overall online presence. This eporfolio can help people get a better understanding of you in general as well, not only for work
This is my second time taking this class, so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from this course. The main project was not too bad, but the work leading up to the final project was a bit overwhelming. I did not like how we had to write a whole literature review paper just to put a paragraph of what we wrote into the final report. I also had a hard time figuring out and addressing the research question and hypothesis because it was not in depth enough.
What I could have done differently is that in the beginning stages of the project, I wish I did not spend as much time as I did finding articles because we barely even used them. The most valuable aspect of this course was learning about the topic I chose because it is super relevant to society today and I found it to be super interesting.
