Personal Philosophy

Hey Group,

This week we are just going to answer 3 questions that involve your personal philosophy, interdisciplinary aspects and career goals. Interdisciplinary is every where you look, from a V8 Splash (veggies & fruit) to a remixed song (pop & techno). Taking parts of two different things and putting them together to make one great thing is exactly what we are doing with our Interdisciplinary Degree. You all have been doing such a great job with this blog! Keep it up.

This week's questions are:

1. Discuss your personal philosophy concerning your professional life.
2. How is or isn't this philosophy interdisciplinary?
3. How have your career goals altered?

e-Portfolio: Topic #8

For this week’s topic of conversation we will be discussing the meaning and purpose of the e-Portfolio and what each one of you want yours to become. The e-Portfolio is something that is a work-in-progress as you journey to your destination of graduation and beyond. This project is something that encompasses who each one of you are and also who you would like to be. It tells your story and you get to decide how that story will be presented, whether it be for potential graduate schools, current employers, future employers, or maybe eventually it will become a sort of personal portfolio of your accomplishments to look back on fondly as you go on to achieve even more. Even though most of you still have some time before you graduate, it is still wise to envision what you want your e-Portfolio to become and revise it along the way. The e-Portfolio is a terrific tool that will help you show-off your interdisciplinary skills of integrating multiple disciplines and ideas together effectively and most certainly aid you in reaching the goals you have set forth for yourself.

Now it’s your turn to answer a few questions about this week’s topic:

1. How will your e-Portfolio demonstrate your interdisciplinarity?

2. What is the audience/purpose you’re thinking of using?

3. How would you envision your e-Portfolio looking like? What would you like to stand out?

4. What things are you thinking could be used as evidence?

Have a great week! :)
