Final portfolio submit
When you assemble every Problem from this year, including your project claim and methods, can you prove each one is concluded and cited, and confirm the LMS actually received it?
Submit your complete Biomedical Innovations portfolio for the semester.
- • Your portfolio includes every required artifact, cited and complete.
- • It is reflected upon and submitted.
- List the two things every artifact must have to be counted complete in your final portfolio.
- Why is 'I submitted it' not the same as 'it is done' until you check the LMS receipt and your tracker?
- 1Assemble all problem artifacts, including your project claim and methods.
- 2Confirm each artifact is cited and concluded.
- 3Write a one-paragraph reflection on your strongest work.
- 4Check the portfolio against the final checklist.
- 5Submit the portfolio and confirm it in your tracker.

💡 Big idea: A final portfolio is the cumulative evidence of a year of biomedical practice because it gathers every concluded, cited artifact into one argument about your growth, and it only counts once the submission is confirmed received, since unconfirmed work is the same as unsubmitted work.
- 0-5 minWarm-up: what is the strongest artifact in your portfolio and why?
- 5-25 minAssemble all Problems 1-8 artifacts; confirm each is cited and concluded
- 25-45 minWrite a one-paragraph reflection identifying your strongest work with reasons
- 45-60 minCheck portfolio against the final checklist; fix any last missing items
- 60-72 minSubmit portfolio to the LMS; confirm submission receipt
- 72-80 minUpdate tracker to complete; celebrate finishing the year
- • Today is the final submission day for the Biomedical Innovations portfolio.
- • Everything you've built this year, from prototype validation to your independent project, goes in.
- • The reflection paragraph is your chance to identify your best work and explain what made it strong.
- • Submit, confirm receipt, and you're done.
- • Every artifact must have both a conclusion and a citation where applicable to be counted complete.
- • A reflection paragraph identifies your strongest work and the reasoning behind that judgment.
- • Final submission is only complete when the LMS shows receipt and the tracker is updated.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (find it in Clever, Microsoft sign-in), then do the work below.
Do this: Open Problem 8 in your myPLTW course shell and confirm all Problems 1 through 8 activities are complete, then submit your complete Biomedical Innovations portfolio for the semester.
Submit your finalized portfolio to the Problem 8 portfolio page as the capstone submission.
All BI milestones for the year should be complete by the end of today.
Screenshot of your full-year progress page and LMS submission confirmation as final evidence.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment: this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.

Generated from this lesson's canonical data with a red-team citation check.
Students often think Students think submission is finished the moment they click the submit button, so they close the page without confirming.. The trap: That is a trap because a click is not a receipt. Uploads fail, files attach wrong, and pages time out; submission is only complete when the LMS shows it received the work and your tracker reflects it, so unconfirmed work is treated as unsubmitted.
Portfolio contents: My finished artifacts for all eight Problems, from the ER design through my independent project plan, each with a conclusion and a citation where a claim needed support.
Final checklist confirmed:
- Every artifact has a conclusion.
- Every health or science claim is cited to a credible source.
- The independent project includes its claim and methods.
Reflection (one paragraph): My strongest work is the transformation and gel notebook from Problem 6. I am proud of it because my controls were clean (no growth on the no-plasmid plate), my gel sizes matched the predicted restriction map, and I named a real source of error and a specific way to fix it. That artifact shows I can run a biotech procedure, interpret the data honestly, and document it well enough for someone else to follow.
Status: Submitted to the LMS and confirmed in my tracker.
Also due today: Submit the finalized portfolio in the course LMS and confirm in your tracker.
- CER:
- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning: make a claim, back it with evidence, explain your reasoning.
- SOP:
- Standard Operating Procedure, the exact steps to follow (especially in a lab).
- Tracker:
- Your PLTW progress log where you record completed evidence.
- myPLTW:
- The PLTW course site where you do the online activities. Find it in Clever with your Microsoft sign-in, right next to Schoology.
Tap the speaker to hear a term. Add two of these to your notebook glossary with a definition and an example in your own words.
Pick just 2 or 3 words from today and make them yours: write what each one means in your own words, then give one example from what you actually did in Final portfolio submit. Try your own words first; the glossary is there if you get stuck. This is voluntary and counts as extra credit, so keep it short.
Saved on this device. Show Mr. Mendoza or add these to your notebook glossary to claim the extra credit.
