Final E-Portfolio Directions for
0110 and 0150
Creating a portfolio of your work, and a self-assessment that examines that
portfolio, is a way to take charge of your educational experience. Not only will
the instructor assess your work; you will also assess your work and your
experience with writing and reading.
This portfolio will be scored by your instructor and by at least one other
Seton Hall writing instructor in order to give you a more consensual assessment
of your performance in ENGL0110 or ENGL0150. The possible scores are 1, 2, 3, 4, with 1
lowest and 4 highest, for each of the
writing traits. The portfolio due date will be no later than Aug.6, at 9:00 a.m., though your instructor may request that you turn it in
earlier.
The final term portfolio is comprised of three separate parts
1.a. The final draft of the last essay of the summer. It should be
without instructor comments so as to eliminate the bias that would come from the
outside scorers seeing your instructor's comments and/or grade. You may
further revise this essays for the portfolio.
1.b. The first draft of the last essay of the summer.
2. A formal in-class piece of writing.
3. A self-assessment (at least 3 pages). The ability to write about your writing and
reading skills is one factor in promoting your future growth and will affect
your overall portfolio score.
Directions for Self-Assessment
| To choose the essays for your portfolio, and to write a
self-assessment, you will want to be aware of the primary goals
of ENGL1201. Although at this point you are not expected to
have mastered all these outcomes, you will certainly have made
some progress. The Outcomes
Statements for First-Year Writing is a set of eleven
statements that express what we expect you to have accomplished
by the end of your first-year writing experience. Some of the
statements apply only to ENGL1202 (focus on literature). The
Reading Rubric is a set of
statements to help you think about how you have developed your
reading skills. The
Primary Trait Rubric shows you the criteria that your
instructor and outside portfolio assessor will use to evaluate
your portfolio. Also, you might find it useful to examine a
sample student
self-assessment. The self-assessment should be a personal
essay that focuses on a thesis about your growth as a reader and
writer in ENGL0110 or ENGL0150. Use the language from the
outcomes statements and document your claims by
referring to essays and other writings. Please cite specific
instances from early and final drafts in your self-assessment to
demonstrate what revision means to you. You may discuss writing
besides that which you have included in your e-portfolio.
How to Submit Your Portfolio
Await an announcement in Blackboard that will give you a link
to a site where you will upload the essays and the
self-assessment. Also, your instructor should give you
instructions for submitting just the self-assessment to him or
her. |
