,Wellness Weekly E-portfolio
Each week you will be asked to complete the exercises and reflect on how they have impacted
on your wellbeing.
In the e-portfolio will also be a range of surveys and activities so you can start building up a
picture of what makes you, personally, happy.
The e-portfolio is pass/fail. That is, you need to pass it in order to pass the unit, regardless of
what grade you get in the quizzes.
The e-portfolio will be submitted at points through the semester (as above) to check in on your
progress and receive formative feedback. These are the same as the quiz closing dates
The deadline for submission of the e-portfolio for your SUMMATIVE assessment (i.e. this is a
mandatory submission in order to pass the unit) is before 12 noon Thursday May 20th.
Try to stick to the word limit, but if you go over by a little bit it is okay
