Teaching COCC301A Writing in the Disciplines

Some teachers find portfolios too time-consuming to evaluate, and so they may choose to collect individual papers. That's certainly an option for CO301A. Many teachers of the course, however, have found that portfolios benefit students in many ways. So we include here one teacher's description of the portfolio elements (overview) and process requirements (process), as well as several pieces examining the pros and cons of using portfolios in a writing class.

• Portfolio Overview - Thomas
• Portfolio Process Requirements - Thomas
• Portfolio Explanation (Harper)
• Portfolio Grading (Holtcamp)
• Portfolios: Promises, Problems, Practices (Kiefer)
• Traditional And/Or Portfolio Grading? (Gogela)
