Portfolio composition

I have never put together a portfolio. Mrs. Bowles' instructions seem simple enough but I know that I will meet many areas of confusion. Hopefully the class time we will spend on the portfolio will help clarify these aspects of the assignment.

The portfolio being our mean of basically begging our grade I believe is a great idea. By presenting all of the work and research from the beginning of the semester Mrs. Bowles can see how we have tried and put our best effort into the class. I believe that the majority of the class will be lacking the acceptable number of blogs required for the grade they would like.

The blogger is a good idea for the people who are willing to go the extra mile and really want to succeed in this class. One of the only draw-backs from using this as a main source of the grade is that it is really easy to forget to update regularly. I believe that the blogger can be used to determine the grade a student should receive because it shows how much effort they were willing to put into the class outside of the classroom.

You are right about the blog thing but when you have a lot harder classes that are weighing on you that take up a majority of your time updating reguraly can be a problem. You have a point but it really isn't as easy as you make it sound, plus we were practically not even reminded of it till half through the semester I mean I know we are in college and should be more responsible but everyone can needs a little help. But thanks for setting an standard for us all to go by to be a good student you have done us all a great favor.
