WRITING PORTFOLIOS DUE AT THE END OF WEEK 14

WRIT 121 Checklist:

• Portfolios must include two analytical expository essays, at least one of which uses MLA documentation.

• The essays must be papers previously submitted for the course.

• An incomplete portfolio will receive an automatic "no pass."

• Papers with no internal references or a missing work cited page will be given a 0.0.

• All borrowed material must be documented.

Grading of portfolios is as follows:

• Your portfolio of final essays will be graded holistically by your instructor and by two external readers (other instructors teaching the class), based on the Writing Standards.

• Your portfolio must receive at least a 2.0 (competency) from two external readers for you to receive a 2.0 or higher in the course.

• If you receive a 2.0 or higher from two external readers, your instructor will assign 100% of your grade: Portfolio Writing (65%), Class Work (30%), and Reflection (5%).

• If your portfolio does not receive a 2.0 or higher from two external readers, you will receive 0.0-1.5 in the course, determined by your instructor.

Portfolios will be returned to you in class the last day of class (for face-to-face classes).
