You should work on the Portfolio projects throughout the semester. I have put suggested start dates for each portion. I have not put due dates along the way for several reasons: 1) some things cannot be done (well) until you have done certain readings; 2) some things (articles) will take time to find; 3) the reading assignments are often long, so I want to give you the flexibility to fit these projects in as your schedule allows; 4) you are adults and professionals and should not need due dates.
