445 Portfolios
What are portfolios? Portfolios are your collection of all of your assignments for this class, both in-class and
homework. You will include all work done on your major assignments in the portfolios, as well as homework and other daily assignments. This means that you must save all your work that you do in class, collect it all together, and put it in the appropriate portfolio - we will do four portfolios. You must also LABEL each assignment correctly, prominently, and CLEARLY (i.e.: "Portfolio I.A" or "Portfolio II.C" at the top of the page). In addition, use tabs/dividers to separate your assignments.
Your portfolio checklists and cover sheets will help you be sure to include everything needed for each portfolio.** Include these in your portfolio; three hole punch them and place them at the FRONT since they will be the first page of your portfolio.
Due dates: You will complete two portfolios for this class, worth 50% each. (Included in your grade is class participation. See syllabus.) Portfolios will be turned in two times during the semester: midterms and final. (See schedule). The Portfolio will contain your worksheets, assignments, essays and related in-class work and homework you have done in this class up to that due date:
Portfolio Format: Each Portfolio will be a two pocket folder, with 3 holes and fasteners in the middle where you will put
all of your work. Everything must be three-hole punched and fastened in the middle, and placed in the porfolio neatly and in order. ALL PORTFOLIOS MUST HAVE A COVER SHEET.**
You will include the portfolio checklist/contents page below (or one like it that you have made) as a cover sheet in the front of the portfolio (inside).
You can be creative and original, as long as you are also neat and coherent, in presenting your work.
Do NOT include your syllabus or class handouts that I give you, only include YOUR work that you do in class.
Grading of Portfolios: All assignments must be included for full credit. One assignment missing will reduce portfolio
grade one letter grade, and so on. "Daily assignments" are assignments of lesser value, often done in class. Each daily assignment will receive:
a check (100%) = excellent work
a check minus (70%) = assignment not adequately completed, something is missing, or questions insufficiently answered
a check (two minuses) (50%) = assignment is present in the portfolio, but completed poorly
a zero (0%) = assignment is missing entirely
"Major assignments" are writing assignments, tests, or presentations that require more thought and presentation; they will be given letter grades and weighted accordingly.
Your grade will be reduced ten percent (10%) for portfolios that are out of order. If you do not have a cover sheet, your portfolio will be returned to you ungraded.**
**Portfolio Cover Sheets are required: See Portfolio Assignments to access them. These will function as a grading sheet for me and provide a guide for you as to what assignments are necessary to include in your portfolio.
