Capstone Portfolio Assignment

Due in class at 5:45 p.m.sharp on Monday, April 13 Optional revision due in class at 5:45 p.m. sharp on Monday, April 27

The senior capstone portfolio self-assessment is your opportunity to reflect upon your progress as an academic speaker and writer. To provide some guidance and structure for this reflection, IAS is providing you with a questionnaire, is available in the Course Documents area of Blackboard.

I would like to elaborate on some of the questionnaire items:

• The questionnaire should be the first page of your portfolio.  Be sure to sign it where indicated.
• "Option" (item #5 at the top of the page) means your concentration within IAS (e.g., AMS, SEB, CLA, etc.).
• After the questionnaire, provide a typed list of all of the artifacts you have reviewed for the portfolio, including the quarter and year along with the course number for each listed assignment.  On this list of all reviewed items, highlight or bold the artifacts that are included in the submitted portfolio.
• I expect that it will take you at least two or three substantive paragraphs to respond adequately to items 1 through 5.
• Please type responses on separate sheets of paper, using double-spacing.  Please indicate the item number to which you are referring, but please do not re-type the question itself. Staple all additional sheets to the questionnaire form.
• Be sure to sign the questionnaire where indicated and use this document as a cover page for your portfolio.
• Your portfolio may be submitted in a folder or binder, or may be stapled without any cover (as long as the staple penetrates all pages).

The senior capstone portfolio self-assessment will be graded based on the following criteria.
