Final Portfolios & Final Exam

For the portfolio, review the readings lists, the notes, class discussions, and assignments for response in the transmittal memo. 

For the final exam (prompt on Blackboard) consider in-class activities, peer review, grading and rating activities. 
If you were ranked highly in peer reviews over the course of the semester, that would be worth mentioning to
your boss, for example.  Also, review the readings, notes, class discussions, etc. for specifics for the final.
