The SW Portfolio is a collection of artifacts documenting the entire SW process. It is an online Box folder shared between the mentor and mentee, in which students synthesize, reflect on, and document their journey through SW. Students are expected to produce their SW Portfolio following the formatting guidelines provided by the Office of Signature Work. Collectively, it is a digital archive of SW at DKU. The portfolio also includes the final written SW paper, SW Paper abstract, SWCE materials, and other documentation. Every student is expected to produce their own SW Portfolio, regardless of whether they work individually or in a team. The SW portfolio will be graded as part of the overall SW grade.
