Portfolio guidelines

Students are expected to maintain a personal portfolio and contribute to a group project portfolio. Both portfolios will be reviewed at the end of each quarter and will serve as one of the bases for evaluations.

Below are the major components of each portfolio. The majority of the work in the personal portfolio will be available in WebX, either as discussions or collected in each student's online portfolio folder. There is no need to print this material out. The project portfolio should be organized according to the sections outlined below.

Detailed descriptions of what is expected for each component of the portfolios will be added and linked through this page as the program progresses.
