Research Progress Portfolio

Your portfolio is the method by which you will demonstrate your progress throughout your project. It is designed to capture the activities that you conduct during your projects, your ability to contribute towards a scientific discussion in your research group, the skills that you develop during your project and to summarise the progress that you make each week. If used correctly, it should also make the write up of your projects much more straightforward. A template portfolio is available on the Blackboard site and it is recommended that you download a copy to your personal device at the earliest opportunity.
