Portfolios

I still need the links to many of your portfolios.  And some of you still need to re-set the permissions.  I cannot assign you a grade for the course unless I have access to your portfolio.

Questions about what to include:
How is the Final Draft section different from the Revised Draft Section?  The final drafts section is different if you have done additional revision on a piece in light of a grade. I haven't really given you grades on your final short pieces - since we got crunched up at the end. So the "Best" piece may or may not be the same if it is the short piece.

What goes in Additional Writing?  Additional writing is optional - and is simply any other invention writing/thinking/etc that you did for the course that you feel demonstrates the points you make in your reflective essay. We had a lot of discussions - about emotions & representation, about truth, and about where our ideas for writing come from - that may have been important parts of your writing process - but which are not necessarily included in the pieces posted in the portfolio. So this is the place to put writing like that.

 

Another observation
  I'm sorry the course got so crunched up at the end.  There are some writing exercises I am truly sorry we did not get to do, and you didn't get as much direction or feedback on the short pieces as I wanted to provide.  We missed 2 classes as a result of the storm and I guess that is just the way it goes.  I appreciate your hard work to take up the slack, and I respond to and evaluate work from the last part of the course in a way that reflects the complications posed by the hurricane.

 

I will be responding to the final 3 blogs when I send out your grade sheets.
