Checklist for Your Final Portfolio

Ling 12, Spring 2009

Place this checklist at the front of your portfolio.

Check off items as you complete them.

Eight CLAS tutorials (5% of your course grade)

__ Add your Pre-Tutoring Checklists to the portfolio. You may substitute a blue CLAS card for a missing checklist.

· If you were docked some points from your midterm portfolio for missing CLAS tutorials, those points will be reinstated if you have completed eight half-hours by June 5. You are responsible for making up missed tutorials even if they were cancelled by your tutor. To earn full credit your checklist must show that you attended a full half hour and arrived fully prepared. If you need more CLAS points, you may attend one or more tutorial sessions to prepare portfolio papers or a Starting Lines submission.

Three process papers (10% of your course grade)

__ All drafts, outlines, notes and in-class writing included

__ Every item dated

__ Items arranged in chronological order

__ Final draft formatted according to MLA guidelines

__ Works Cited according to MLA guidelines (at least for final draft)

· The value of each paper at the time of its deadline was 5% (for a total of 15% for three papers). The portfolio is worth an additional 10%. If you have not substantially revised any of those papers since the initial grade was assigned, you can expect to receive approximately the same grade on your portfolio as you earned for the papers individually. On the other hand, if you have revised some or all of the papers by the time you submit the portfolio, you can expect to earn a better grade. In any case, the grade assigned and the points earned at the time of each paper’s deadline will not be revised.
