  5. Don’t: • Come up with the student’s topic • Make the contact with the mentor for the student • Complete any part of the portfolio for the student • Accept anything that is less than the student’s best • Allow the student to turn in anything late without taking points off

  6. The Portfolio • Designed to be a document of professional quality • Imagine yourself as a prospective employer of the student. Would this be acceptable?
