How Should I Approach the Competencies?
See:
e-Portfolio: Content and Process
Use the rubrics -these are your guidelines to writing a successful statement of competency.
Remember -your e-portfolio advisor will tell you exactly what they want. But in general they are looking to see that you understand the competency (can explain it); and can also provide evidence as to how you meet the competency.
Evidence Organizer
Organize your evidence using the Student Success Evidence Planner

Evidence
Evidence can be made up of several things. It can be a whole class -but does not need to be a whole class.
It can be assignments from a class -as long as you can show that they support the competency.
Or work from outside the school or a job. As long as it supports the competency (and is no more than 2 years old)
See: e-portfolio-Evidence
It is up to you to select the pieces of evidence you want to use. The Student Success Planner can help you get organized
Common Misconceptions
One class to one competency.
Not so. Competencies are listed on class syllabi. A competency does not match just to one class. Competencies will map to several classes.
See: Competencies matched to classes
I must have a class that lists the competency
Not so. You are being asked to show that you understand the meaning of a competency and can tie evidence to support that claim. Evidence from any class that is relevant can be used. The evidence might be assignments in a class or classes where the main focus was not on the particular competency; but some of the assignments support the competency.
I am in trouble if I haven’t taken a class that relates to a particular competency.
Not so. You can use examples from work or a previous career (as long as no more than 2 years old). You can even produce new evidence by doing research and presenting it.
Best Advice
After establishing your e-Portfolio advisor’s expectations pick a competency that appears easy to you -and get started. If you get started you will feel better and the task will not seem overwhelming. Again -think of it as a job. No-one values an employee who isn’t a self starter:-) Leave the angst for another day:-) You can all do this.
