Professional Portfolio

Catalog description

Professional portfolios show your professional digital identity and are critical for entry into your career. Professional portfolios typically provide multiple samples of work presented in a case study format, display technical and professional skillsets, and demonstrate mastery of core competencies related to your field. In this class you will create a digital portfolio, which is a culmination of your course work that showcases your accomplishments achieved throughout your academic career. Additionally, you will explore what it means to be a professional by building your brand, personal narrative, and then apply it to your resume, cover letter, elevator pitch, LinkedIn profile, and work samples. This hands-on class will include a mixture of lecture (including guest experts), discussions, presentations, role playing, and worktime. UX-major portfolios will also be shared and presented to the UX Program Director, UX faculty, and UX Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC) for review and assessment.
