Final Portfolio
15% Portfolio
(75%) Collection/organization of course materials (including draft versions, etc.) + any further revisions of those material you chose to make
(25%) 500-750 word reflective essay on a composition experience in the course
At the end of the semester, you are responsible for curating all the material you have produced over the course of the semester into a digital portfolio (including drafts and low stakes assignments) on your website. Please pay particular attention to the experience that a random user might have navigating your site and make sure that the menus are clear/effective, the links all work, and that the various landing pages (your homepage, the homepage for your work in our course, etc.) have some brief explanatory content. Your portfolio must be accompanied by a 500-750 word essay (which will not be posted but emailed to me) that critically reflects on a composition experience over the course of the class which is collected in the portfolio. For this essay you might think about focusing in on a particular composition experience you have had in class, such as one of the assignment sequences, or a recent revision, or you might draw connections between different experiences you’ve had throughout the semester, but the decision for the direction you take in this reflective piece is up to you and your experiences. This is also an opportunity quite like your self-assessments in which you might highlight areas of strength and weakness, but in this case you can also highlight areas of growth and change over the course of an assignment sequence or the semester.
The assignments that you might radically revise (not merely fix typographic/formatting errors) for reconsideration in your portfolio in order to increase your grade (I will average your original grade on the assignment with your "new" grade) are limited to the following:
Assignment 1.7 (Final Glossary Entry)
Assignment 2.6 (Argument about Access)
Assignment 3.3 (Annotated Bibliography)
Assignment 3.4 (Literature Review)
