Portfolio: Assumptions
There is a distinction between collecting assignments, reflecting upon them, and thoughtfully presenting them in a portfolio
Students will be collecting assignments throughout their academic careers and should have exclusive access to their collections
Using portfolios for reflection is a process that is important in all phases of an academic career, not just at the end of senior year
![Page 20: Student Portfolios A Follow-up to Dr. Zubizaretta · What is a portfolio? Continually updated, selective record of student work that documents students’ learning with focus on continual](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043023/5f3e82163db2f1490749f464/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Assumptions (cont.)
Instructors, advisers, and peers should
collaborate with students to help them present
assignments in a reflective way
Students should be able to present a variety of
portfolios for different objectives: completing
coursework or demonstrating academic,
personal, or career development
