The first artifact I have chosen to illustrate effective written communication is my completed portfolio that was completed for my fall semester 2015, PRST 3010 class. The PRST 3010 class, had me look at my work history and extra-curricular activities, and then weigh those against certain criteria, to see if they were worthy of college level learning and credit. Fortunately, my completed portfolio was worth twenty four college credits, so it was definitely a worthwhile endeavor.
I would consider this artifact an example of my best work for many reasons. First, it had me view my life (work history, extra-curricular activities, skills I use every day etc.), from an angle that I had never considered.
