English 100 Portfolio Assessment
Spring 2002
Description:
A portfolio is a collection of your writing that provides an accurate window into your
strengths and weaknesses as a writer. Twice during the quarter, your writing will be
evaluated by English Department Faculty other than your instructor. Readers will be
examining your ability to organize and develop ideas effectively as well as your
competence in using Standard English and MLA documentation.
Grading:
Students who meet the standards for their portfolio work will be eligible for grades of
2.0 or better in the course. Students whose portfolio work does
not meet minimum standards will not be eligible for grades of 2.0 or better in the course.
PORTFOLIO INSTRUCTIONS
I. Your Mid-term PORTFOLIO is due on Thursday. To be considered complete, it will
consist of the following work:
1. An in-class essay written Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, after completing the
following required work:
2. An out-of-class essay, and both rough and final drafts--this is your gender essay or
your decision/event essay.
3. A typed journal entry should be included.
4. Both of the above assignments need to be "text-based." That is, the writing
should be in response to a reading and should incorporate references to that reading.

as well as the class time, on the outside.
