What not to include in your e-portfolio

professor, peers and anyone who you give your e-portfolio site or who finds your e-portfolio site, can see and
access.
Shared feedback such as a post on a fellow student’s forum must be done in a respectful manner. The objective
of offering feedback is to be able to help through constructive criticism. Posted observations/comments must
relate directly the course and to the work/experience you are offering feedback on.
***Feedback is never to be about a student. It should strictly be in relation to a student’s work.***
