Assessment 2:
Learning Portfolio (Individual) 40%
Assessment Guide

UEH T3 2020

Final submission due Week 9, Friday 20 November 23:59 pm (via Turnitin on vUWS)

Your Learning Portfolio showcases your experiences and learning in the unit Working in Professions. It
is also intentionally designed to help you to reflect on your learning in a regular and integrated manner.

The Learning Portfolio provides you with an opportunity to share your learning and your activities in
various areas. It also allows for a stronger overview and profile of your activities in relation to your studies
and your profession. In addition to explaining what you have learned, you will reflect upon the ways in
which that learning has affected you and how you will utilize it in the future. You will use questions in
the Assignment Guide to assist you in the creation of the content for your Learning Portfolio.

Guideline for writing reflections. You may use this guide line and write in distinct/separate sections about the weekly
portfolio questions, the two online careers modules and the job application process for your final reflection.
Possible questions you could use to meet these guidelines
What is the relative value of the overall learning experience from the weekly
portfolio questions, the two online careers modules and the job application
process? This section must also include in brief introduction (one or
sentences) on weekly portfolio questions, online careers modules and the job
application process and what you going to focus on.
What are the most salient points of what you experienced at the weekly
portfolio questions, the two online careers modules and the job application
process?
Using at least three weekly readings, what interpretations, explanations and
theories help you to make sense of the learning experience about weekly
portfolio questions, the two online careers modules and the job application
process? Please note that in text citation and reference is required.
What positive aspects from the weekly portfolio questions, the two online
careers modules and the job application process are worth using in the
future?
What will you gain through these changes? What preparation do you need to
now do to respond to situations in the future? What conclusion can you
draw? Summarise key points you have made reinforcing your overall
Reflection. The content of the conclusion provides you the opportunity to
make a final convincing summary of what you have learned and why it is
valid and what will you change in future.
When writing Reflection, you must acknowledge quotations, information and
ideas taken from other authors through a bibliography or list of references.
Please use APA style. Referencing guide is available from the Library web
site https://library.uws.edu.au/main/sites/default/files/pdf/cite_APA.pdf
Attach all required appendices (this must be presented as appendix 1, 2, 3, &
4) as status on page 4 above.

Key factors to keep in mind when writing your submission are:

• Ensure your Learning portfolio is professionally presented. An ideal structure for a Learning Portfolio includes a
coherent series of topics, main points, critically analysed and presented in a logical sequence under the sub-headings
1. Weekly Learning Reflections (you may structure based on sub-topics, weeks or any logical format of your
choice)
2. Career Launch Online Module Reflections (Networking and Job Applications modules in Career Launch)
3. Job Application Reflections
• Each paragraph should contain a topic sentence that summarises the main idea in the paragraph and be followed by
supporting sentences (and citations), which expand and provide more detail on the idea raised. A common student
mistake is to write topic sentence after topic sentence. This seems like they are jumping from one idea to the next
and will often attract feedback stating "no depth" or "confusing". The supporting sentences are crucial to examine
the initial idea in more detail and demonstrate an argument along with understanding. Ensure you examine each idea
in enough detail – examine the idea fully before moving on.
• The most common criticism faced by students not providing a reflection. Discussion around a topic is not providing
your reflection. It is often a helpful technique to use the sub-headings as part of your submission structure. You are
the bouncer at the door of your own submission: choose which ideas get in. Choose the ideas that provides your
reflection.
• Remember that the marker can only mark what you actually said/wrote in your reflection, not what is in your head
or what you “meant to say/write”. For this reason, it is essential to review your own work in order to reveal flaws in
structure or writing.
• Ensure you use accurate spelling and grammar. It is often best to state things simply and clearly rather than using
complicated language in the wrong context. Prior to submission make sure you use tools like spelling and grammar
checkers in WORD. You may also want to make use of online tools (e.g. the Writer’s Diet
http://writersdiet.com/WT.php?home, www.grammarly.com to improve the quality of your written work).
• Ensure that all in-text references are accurate and comply with the APA referencing style. A guide is available on the
WSU Library website with examples to assist you http://library.westernsydney.edu.au/main/guides/referencing-
citation Ensure you use only credible sources appropriate to your level of studies. Wikipedia, for example, is not a
credible source. A Reference list of all works cited in your submission must be provided.

10. Your assignment must be scanned using the anti-plagiarism software Turnitin®. The Turnitin plagiarism
prevention system is being used with this unit. It is an important tool to assist students with their academic writing

issues prior to your final submission. The system will allow you to overwrite your submission up until it is due. All
assessments must be submitted via the Turnitin system (unless alternative arrangements are advised by your lecturer)
on or before the due date and time.

sources improperly, you will be penalised. Even when using references properly, the amount of material copied
verbatim from the internet should not exceed 15% of the report’s word length (excluding the bibliography
and cover page), otherwise, the awardable marks will be reduced for the excess copying . Staff in the unit will
perform a check on the similarity of your report to others. The scanning will tell us if you have copied from another
student, or from an assignment from another unit. Severe penalties apply to cases of plagiarism (e.g., copying Internet
resources without referencing, copying other students’ reports, copying other unit’s assignments etc.).
Please use the Turnitin link below for students on how to check and make sense of the originality report
https://youtu.be/BsJQc48th4Y
