In order to earn promotion to the next module or graduation you need to complete, submit, and defend your portfolio.

A submission summarizes your accomplishments in these key areas:

• Individual
• Team
• Community

For the module cycle ending the week of 8/14 we're still in the process of implementing a robust feedback system. For the feedback prompts you should do the best you can to characterize feedback you've received and given. It'd be ideal to gather your own quotes from teammates/classmates either via submitted anonymous feedback you've received or directly asking them for feedback.

Here are some notes about expectations for this cycle:

• Individual Assessment: Yes

• Carefully read the submission_guidelines.markdown to understand how your portfolio should be written/submitted
• Read a sample portfolio in sample.markdown in this repo
• Copy the content of template.markdown as a starting point
• Fill in and submit your own content.

Your portfolio will be evaluated in the last week of the module by a panel of at least two instructors. During this 15-minute session the reviewers will:

• Read your portfolio
• Ask questions
• Use the rubric (rubric.markdown) to assess the quality of your work
• Render a promotion decision
• Record notes and the decision in your portfolio

Portfolio evaluations have three possible outcomes:

• PROMOTED - your portfolio demonstrates a successful fulfillment of expectations and you make move on to the next module or graduate
• RETAINED - your portfolio is lacking in one or more areas and you may either repeat the current module or leave the program
• EXCUSED - your portfolio is lacking in one or more areas and either (a) you've now failed to pass the module in two attempts or (b) the reviewers have determined that you will not be successful at Turing
• PENDING - your portfolio is incomplete or non-conforming and will be re-evaluated as soon as possible. If it is incomplete after 24 hours it will be moved to RETAINED or EXCUSED
