PYC4814


Assignment 04 – My Portfolio
 Please complete this template and then submit it as Assignment 04 for PYC4814. You can submit it as an MS
Word document, or you can save it as pdf and then submit it as a pdf document.
 There is no examination for this module. The portfolio replaces the examination.
 We will be appreciative and lenient in our marking. We will give marks for effort, insight and creativity, and
for applying theoretical concepts.


HOW TO COPY YOUR WIKI INTO THIS TEMPLATE

You will see that the first question below asks you to copy your wiki into this template. You may have to
copy and paste the text and the images from your wiki separately. First, select all the text in your wiki,
come back to this template, right-click and select “Paste”.

After pasting the text of your wiki into the template you have to copy the pictures (if you have any) and
paste them where you want them to appear. There are two ways to get a picture from your wiki into the
template:

1) The simple way. Right-click on the picture on your wiki, select "Copy image", come back to the
template, right click and select "Paste".

2) The long way. If the simple way doesn't work for you (it depends on how your computer is set up)
then do the following: Right-click on the picture on your wiki, select "Save image" and save it
somewhere on your computer. Next, come back to the template, go to the "Insert" tab, select
"Picture", go to where the picture is on your computer, select the picture and click on "Insert".



HOW TO CONVERT YOUR PORTFOLIO TO A PDF DOCUMENT

You can submit your portfolio as a Word document or in pdf format. If you have lots of pictures you may
find that the Word document is too big to submit. In that case, just convert it to pdf before submitting it.
From the “File” menu choose “Save as” and then choose PDF as the file type. When you submit, you can
choose to submit the .pdf version of the document rather than the .doc or .docx version. It is up to you.


Now please answer the questions below in the spaces provided.

, My name and surname:
My student number:


1. My wiki (60%)

This is the most important part of your portfolio. Please copy and paste the content of your
wiki below – both the text and (if you have any) the images. (See “How to copy your wiki”
above if you don’t know how to copy your wiki.) You are welcome to change things a bit
after copying your wiki into this document. For example, feel free to improve the formatting,
do some further editing, or even include additional material. We will not look at your wiki
online, but only at the copy that you put below.

(Put your wiki here – you can use as much space as you like.)


Refer to the wiki page attached below for guidance; read the theoretical lenses as you need to apply
these concepts to your wiki page for good marks




2. My conversations (20%)

We asked you to comment on other wikis and to pay attention to comments made about
your wiki. Please briefly tell us what you contributed in terms of having conversations with
other students via the comments section of your wiki and/or their wikis.

(Tell us about your conversations here – maximum 2 pages. Don’t just copy all the
comments – tell us how the conversations went.)



Refer to tip 5 and 6 below to ensure you follow the commenting rules




FORMAT:

 Arial 11 or Times New Roman 12
