We offer some suggested guidelines and best practices to help bring more consistency while supporting individual flexibility.\nThe only required syllabus statements and policy are the University Statement, the Disability Statement, and the individual faculty's attendance policy (point 6).\nWe recommend that faculty use the primary syllabus on file in their unit as a starting point.\nFaculty’s syllabi should include essential information for points 1-6. Faculty have discretion over the level of detail provided.\nFaculty should avoid listing personal information such as cell phone numbers in publicly posted syllabi.\nFor points 7 and 8, faculty should select (copy verbatim or revise as needed) only information that fits their course and pedagogical goals.\nCourse Basics\nPortfolio\nPlan 368, 1, CRN, Spring, 2025\nOnline\nInstructor Information\nRalph M Holmes III\nUrban Planning]\u000bBall State University, Muncie, IN\nCourse Information\nCourse Description\nDuring the third year of study, each student assembles a portfolio including professional resume and examples of professional and classroom work. Students prepare and present before a panel of faculty for the purpose of self-assessment and faculty critique and guidance. Offered credit/no credit only.\nPrerequisites\n[This can be found in the catalog description, but it is recommended that prerequisites be listed separately to catch students’ attention.]\nCourse Objectives\nTo prepare materials to apply for professional planning jobs\nTo assist/ prepare students with professional networking\nTo assist/ prepare students with job interviewing skills\nCourse Modality/Structure\nOnline\nCourse Materials\nSupplemental material and archived student work is available through canvas and at the department offices upon request.\nCourse Assignments and Assessments\nCourse Assignments\nProfessional resume\nProfessional sample cover letter\nPortfolio of work from previous semesters\nPersonal web site\nCourse Grading Scale\nThis course is a Pass/Fail/Incomplete grading scale\nRequired University Statements and Policy\nUniversity Statement\nWe are committed to ensuring that all members of the community are welcome, through valuing the various experiences and worldviews represented at Ball State and among those we serve.
