ÔOne day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four
this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much
as sentences form when we are half-asleep, ÔHammer your thoughts
into unityÕ. For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested
all I did by that sentence [...]Ó William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank
Tuohy, Yeats, 1976, p.51 )

Portfolio See the examples I have
brought to class and are available in my office. Also check out electronic
versions of portfolios of previous classes on our web site.
The portfolio consists of Projects 1B (the revision)
and 2B (the revision), all journals, class exercises, and printouts of your contributions
to the Waller and Ponds Discussion Boards; all LR documents (including LR A1,
A2, List of Goals, LR midterm, and LR final -- with all pics of self
in action in course); your comments on projects1 and 2 of others; the road map
of your journey; and all your third hours and extra credit.

or at least in this order, with this kind of detail:

Grades: To get a 80 on the portfolio you need to meet all the basic requirements
almost perfectly, including table of contents and page numbering.
Grades: to get 100 on the
paper portfolio you need to go beyond that to an achievement in visual rhetoric.
Think of this as a portfolio you will be taking to a nature-writing or architectural
magazine, seeking employment in competition with many others. You would be
well advised to have it all typed in one way or another, perfectly proofread,
illustrated, etc. and very professional in appearance. Pay special attention
to unity and the pages Effective Visual Design in our anthology
To get an A on a web portfolio the requirements are much the same, translated into web terminology. For a good example of how to include all your journal entries in a web portfolio see previous websites. Some of these are incomplete portfolios in that they handed in the paper version of the journal separately. In any case, your web portfolio must be transferred to my website and must run on that Mac server. So unless you understand relative directories/folders you will have to use the appropriate URL in front of each file name: http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~bump/FS3011/web/YOURNAMEGOESHERE YOU NEED TO GET THE CD OR DISKETTE WITH THE WEBSITE WITH THESE AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED CHANGES TO ME TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY.
