Introduction to Portfolio: Definition, Examples, and Objectives

Kapanlagi.com - You must already know what an introduction is. This is because an introduction is important in a research proposal or even a simple paper. But is the format for writing introductions for papers, theses, and proposals the same as the introduction for portfolios?

The answer is the same, KLovers, there is no different format for writing introductions, including introductions for portfolios. The purpose of an introduction is to make scientific writing interesting to read and analyze.

Now, for those of you who are still confused about how to create an introduction for various scientific tasks, here are examples of introductions for portfolios, papers, and proposals, along with the definition and objectives of an introduction. Let's check it out, KLovers.

1. Definition of Preface

Before learning how to make a preface, you need to understand the definition of a preface. A preface is one of the initial parts or introductions of a scientific work. Generally, in this preface, the author expresses gratitude and thanks to those who have helped him/her complete the work.

In addition, it is not uncommon for the author to expect constructive criticism and suggestions to improve the written work that will be created next. Therefore, the creation of this preface needs to be done, either briefly or respectfully addressed to those who have provided significant assistance.

2. Functions of Preface

The function of a preface is to express gratitude and provide criticism and suggestions that must be given by the author. In addition, as an introduction to more detailed discussions, the content of the preface is a general overview of the written work. The preface of a paper, report, proposal, or other written work should be able to arouse the reader's interest to continue reading until the end.

3. Example of a Brief Preface

The first example of a preface is a brief preface. This example can be a sample preface for your portfolio, KLovers. Here is the example of the brief preface:

Praise and gratitude are offered to the Almighty God for the completion of the paper entitled "Example of Preface Kapanlagi". The author expresses thanks for the moral and material support provided in the preparation of this paper to:

1. Mr. Manalu, M.Pd, as the head of Universitas Terbuka, who provided guidance, advice, ideas, and the opportunity to use the Language Laboratory facilities.

2. Mrs. Puji Astuti, M.Pd, as our mentor, who always gives encouragement, motivation, and input to the author.

3. Mrs. Dini Wardini, M.Pd, as our homeroom teacher, who has provided many supporting materials, guidance, and input to the author.

The author realizes that this paper is far from perfect. Therefore, constructive suggestions and criticisms from readers are greatly needed for the improvement of this paper.
