Dear Students,
A career portfolio is a collection of documents related to your skills, abilities, interests,
personality, experience and achievements. A career portfolio can be designed to show an
employer your best work but this is not always necessary. Its main purpose is to help you
prepare for career-related activities such as job interviews or applications for scholarships and
post-graduate studies.
This project is worth 20 % of the course mark and will require you to:
Provide examples of work that represent your efforts and achievements throughout your
learning experiences
Reflect on your learning and complete some coursework related to your learning.
All of the career e-portfolio activities are available on BlackBoard Learn.
This project requires you to work individually. To complete this project successfully, please the
read the section on Report Planning and Implementation and Portfolio Content
carefully. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have on this project
Best wishes,

LSS 2003 Creating Your Future Dubai Mens College

Planning and Implementation

1. Start early. Almost all of the documents in this portfolio have been produced as part
of the course work during the Creating Your Future course.
2. Create a folder on your laptop. Name it Your ID_Your name_efolio
for example H00123456_Ahmed_efolio
3. Number the documents the same as in the Portfolio Contents section below. Give
the files short names.
4. You will submit the documents on Blackboard Learn in the last week of this
semester. Follow the submission instructions on BB Learn.
5. The work in the portfolio should represent you as a unique individual. Take the time
to produce the required documents so that you are aware of what YOU have learned
from any part of your portfolio.

Academic Honesty Policy
The HCT requires you to be honest and ethical in your pursuit of learning. You must refrain

Cheating is the deliberate attempt to gain marks or academic credits dishonestly, or helping
others to do
this. Examples of cheating may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sharing or showing answers during a test or other forms of assessment
Copying anything done by another student and submitting it as your own
Giving another student access to your electronic files, and allowing him/her to use your work
as his/her own
Telling another student what is on a test he/she will take later
Bringing to an assessment, information or materials that are not allowed even if they are
not used
Reading a test, examination or assessment before you are officially allowed to
Allowing another person to take a test, examination or assessment for you
Taking a test, examination or assessment for someone else
Using a computer, mobile phone, tablet or other devices improperly during an assessment,
such as by gaining access to unauthorized material, communicating with others during
assessments; or using files of other users
Plagiarism is deliberately presenting another persons work as your own without
acknowledging the original source.
Examples of plagiarism may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Using the work of someone else, or changing some words and keeping the same structure
and the same meaning without noting the source(s), and submitting it as your own work
Taking text from other sources and putting the pieces together as one document and
submitting it as your own work, without noting the source(s)
Downloading information, pictures or charts from the Internet and inserting that material into
your own document and submitting it as your own work without noting the source(s)
