Portfolio Project
• The purpose of the portfolio project is to provide an assessment in which
you are able to demonstrate your understanding and application of the

intended learning outcomes;
1. Explain observations. [PILO 1.1]
2. Interpret assumptions. [PILO 1.1]
3. Evaluate sources. [PILO 2.3]
4. Propose hypothesis. [PILO 4.4]
How to conduct your portfolio project
• You must choose one of the research articles to answer for your
portfolio project.
• Once you have chosen a scientific article – post your choice on the BB
discussion board to inform your instructor.
• Portfolio projects should cover all CILO criterion and include
references
Students must choose one research article to
base their portfolio project on
1. Caffeine and physical performance
• https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0059561
2. Substance addiction in KSA
• https://medcraveonline.com/MOJAMT/MOJAMT-06-00145.pdf

Students Portfolio project should follow the
structure below and cover all points
• Identify the research question and rationale posed by the article
• Provide a hypothesis and null hypothesis that applies to question (and papers associated)
• Discuss the scientific rigor of the articles associated with your question (ie critically analyse and compare and
contrast the articles)
• Analyze the data provided in both papers to determine whether or not this accepts or rejects you null
hypothesis (You must explain why and reference the data in this section)
• Generate a conclusive scientific theory from the articles you are provided with and explain the assumptions of
the theory identified.
• Provide a conclusion, in which you must relate the findings of the the journal articles and provide areas of
future research
