The Sophomore Review (TSR) is a crucial component of your Communication Design II (COMD 2400) course, designed to assess your progress in the program and provide valuable insights for your academic and professional journey. This document outlines the requirements, expectations, and guidelines for creating and presenting your Sophomore Portfolio.
All students in Communication Design II are required to register and submit your digital online portfolio by Sunday, October 27. This is a crucial step, so please make sure you complete it on time.
COMD Faculty will be visiting your class soon to discuss this review and answer any questions you may have.
During the review, you will have the opportunity to present your best work to a COMD faculty member, discuss your career goals, and explore advisement opportunities. It’s an excellent chance to showcase your skills, receive valuable feedback, and plan your future.
