End-of-Term assessment (Portfolio)

Deadlines

Contents of the Portfolio

The portfolio should be composed of the following items. The portfolio should be written as a coherent document, so that the different items support the conclusion made in the final essay, and so that it collectively display that you have covered the full range of the module contents.

You should make an effort to make (especially) the concluding essay in view of the assessment criteria.

Format of submission

The electronic files should be sent as email attachments to H.Schaathun@surrey.ac.uk; use `CSM25 Portfolio Submission' as the subject. It is helpful if the attachments specify file names consisting of your family name, main given name, and urn.

The printed report should be submitted to the p/g office.

The paper copy will be returned to you with comments.
