Compose
Individual 3: Portfolio Cover Page (100%, 10 points)
Time to tie a ribbon around your portfolio by sprucing up your landing page. Record a video to put a face on your work. Write tight abstracts to provide a menu of your ideas for readers to peruse. Fill in any remaining boilerplate. Make it your own!
Spruce up your portfolio cover page by filming a video and embedding it in index.Rmd. Consider this video to be your “stump speech” in our class election. In one to three minutes you should introduce your ideas as candidates for one of the four final project slots. If you win, you’ll get to lead a team around one more iteration of your idea, a modest expansion into a roughly 7 page concept paper and 10 slide presentation. In your video you should introduce yourself, your two big ideas, and finally explain why your peers would want to work on the concept. Why should they choose you?
Also be sure to finalize your abstracts for each Big Idea and the “About the Author” blurb.
How to submit
Your bdrive is a convenient way to upload and host the video, and you can copy the syntax of the “Hello Benjamin Franklin!” demonstration video in the portfolio template. Students have also had luck with YouTube, Vimeo, really any video hosting service can work.
Use text references when you write your abstracts so you can reuse them at the top of your Big Ideas. Learn the syntax by copying the pattern of the original portfolio repository.

Participation 2: Peer Review 2 (100%, 4 points)
